This home isn't for sale, but it's so gorgeous I had to share. Besides, it will be someday, and when it does, you'll already be familiar with it. From this article in today's Los Angeles Times by Sean Mitchell, which is a wonderful tribute to the man Ray Kappe. This home was built on a Palisades lot that was considered unbuildable because of the high water table; a small stream actually runs through it. So, much like Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater architect Ray Kappe chose to incorporate the streams and hillside into the home rather than create a grade pad. The effect is stunning and transcendent.
Front entry-note the stream bed.
Master Bedroom. Note the use of built ins.
Lack of stair rails enhances the view, but increases the vertigo. The vista produced here is magnificent . The thing about an architectural piece is every way you look in the home there is interest for the eye.
Great kitchen with all the bells and whistles, and a great informal dining place.
What a wonderful fireplace and conversation area. The green carpet is intended to bring the outside in. The wall/window ratio is 50%, which is not permissible today.
I know most of the players in the architectural specialty market. I prefer to deal with everyone as it's a more democratic approach to the market. If you have a specific interest in architecture, give me a call and let me know your needs.
