Property Description

Nestled behind private gates in Brentwood's coveted Lower Mandeville Canyon, this Modern French Colonial by acclaimed architect Gus Duffy captures the timeless character of a European country manor while embracing the comforts of contemporary California living. Framed by mature trees, lush hedging, and beautifully landscaped grounds, the property offers a remarkable sense of privacy and tranquility, yet remains just minutes from Brentwood's celebrated dining, boutique shopping, Brentwood Country Club, and the coast. Thoughtfully conceived to feel as though it has stood for generations, the residence is distinguished by artisan stonework, groined ceilings, soaring wood beams, and custom glass doors that invite the outdoors into nearly every living space. Spanning 6,980 square feet on an impressive 16,758 square-foot lot, the home balances architectural grandeur with warmth, creating an atmosphere equally suited for intimate living and memorable entertaining. A gracious foyer introduces interiors that unfold effortlessly from one beautifully appointed space to the next. The living room is anchored by a striking stone fireplace beneath vaulted beamed ceilings, while the formal dining room is complemented by a wet bar and butler's pantry with temperature-controlled wine storage for seamless hosting. At the heart of the home, the expansive great room brings together a welcoming family room, a stone-lined breakfast area, and a stunning gourmet kitchen featuring marble countertops, a generous seated island, walk-in pantry, and premium Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances. Two powder rooms, a state-of-the-art screening room, and two private bedroom suites complete the main level. A graceful curved stone staircase, or the convenience of the private elevator, leads to the upper level where four additional bedroom suites provide exceptional comfort and privacy. The primary suite serves as a peaceful sanctuary overlooking the verdant grounds from its own private terrace. Complete with a sitting room or office, dual-sided fireplace, dual walk-in closets, and an exquisite marble bathroom featuring a steam shower, dual vanities, and a sunlit soaking tub tucked beneath a dramatic rotunda. Equally captivating are the resort-inspired outdoor spaces. Stone pavers weave through mature landscaping and expansive lawns, creating an idyllic backdrop for year-round enjoyment. Designed for both relaxation and entertaining, the backyard features multiple patios, a heated covered lounge, fire pit, sparkling pool and spa, outdoor shower, and a fully equipped outdoor kitchen. Modern amenities are seamlessly integrated throughout, including a home automation system, surround sound, water purification system, elevator, two laundry rooms, and an attached three-car garage with EV charging and direct access into the home. Rarely does a residence achieve such a harmonious balance of timeless architecture, exceptional craftsmanship, and modern livability, offering an enduring retreat in one of Brentwood's most desirable neighborhoods.
