This Mandeville Canyon study of modernism represents the collaboration between its owners and architect Jesse Bornstein, AIA. References to L.A.’s great modernists like A. Quincy Jones flow throughout as Bornstein used the spectacular site and its tree-shrouded surrounds as inspiration for the custom gated compound. The sustainable property encompasses a four-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath main house with an office, den, gym, and a guest house with bath, pool, and spa amid an arrestingly tranquil xeriscape. Timeless and natural materials such as polished concrete, ribbons of black aluminum, gypsum plaster, and a rich mix of woods like walnut and California Redwood blend with all manner and forms of glass – clear, tinted, clerestory, and retractable sliding folding doors — creating dramatic, expansive, highly livable space that seamlessly interacts with the natural landscape and light. The two-story floorplan opens at its center into a gorgeous, broad living room and dining space with 20-foot ceilings, granite double-sided fireplace, and walls of glass opening to nature. A superb gourmet kitchen with a center island unfolds into the family room. An office, guest suite, utility room, and powder bath complete the first level. An open “broad-lit” wide stairwell leads to a mezzanine open to below and gorgeous vistas beyond as the second level continues to balance proportion, light, and a visual relationship to nature. The spacious primary suite rests in its own wing with a fireplace, generous his/her closet, and set behind exotic Shoji glass movable panels — a Zen bath with double vanities, a spa tub, and shower. Adjoining the primary suite is a gym and private patio with a verdant overlook. The opposite wing contains an open den plus two spacious guest bedrooms with a full bath. A canvas of custom details enhances the entire living space — indirect recessed and modern lighting fixtures, Brazilian black granite, Pennsylvania flagstone, built-in speakers, shelving and seating, plus a security system, 6-zone HVAC, laundry chute, “green” low VOC paint, filtration at kitchen and pool house sinks, copper ion filtration at the pool and much more. A large motor court for 7+ cars extends the 3-car direct garage space. A rare architectural find in prime Brentwood, completely congruent with its sublime setting.

They were hosted by Haute Living's Erik Haase. Watch the full webinar below.

Highlight quotes:

Susan Stark: "I did not know what the rest of the world was going to do, but I was going back to work. This is an essential business. What I did was get on coaching calls and I made an extraordinary effort to reconnect with everybody. Calling agents, calling friends, calling clients, getting on Zoom meetings, get doing the inspirational things, and not accepting that the world was coming to an end. When I came back, we got out there and it was hot. We had our gloves on and our masks on in the houses. It was not glamorous at all. The story is we just trudge through. It was really about opening our minds to new ideas. It was about understanding that the world is never going to be the same again and we have got to flow with it."

Andrea Desy Edrei:  "Everyone is an agent now. Everyone is an investor. All of the investment properties are going to realtors that want to dabble in the market, so it is interesting to see how it pans out. There are been people that are getting their license because their parents are selling their house. I think that is great, but at the end of the day, you are not in this twenty-four-seven. This is not a part time business. You are only as good as your network. We have been fortunate we do a lot of marketing. It is a huge thing for us. Trying to think outside of the box has been a very big thing for us. There are always more properties that have not and will not sell because of the price or just how they are positioned. It is a matter of time, but I do not think we can just rely on how crazy the frenzy is right now."

Barbara Van Dyke: "Within Texas, Austin and Dallas are the two markets. They are experiencing the most growth. We have about 200 people moving to the Austin market each day. We have had so many companies that have relocated here. It is driving tens of thousands of jobs and people are going to continue to come here. I would say almost every agent I know had their best year ever last year. We did not slow down. Unlike a lot of other areas of the country, real estate continued to be one of those critical, essential businesses that did not have to shut down. In reality, throughout the entire year of last year, and even into this year, I have never stopped showing homes. I never stopped listing homes.”

Mary Pichardo: "I believe that real estate is the most important investment. Even if you are going to buy your house and your primary residence, I firmly believe that you have to create a strategy. Because there is opportunity everywhere, you have to try to focus. If everybody is going to a single family, you have to look from other options. Have a vision and have an open mind when you are looking, especially in this market. Now is a great opportunity. I am very glad that I got this space to network and of course, hear all the experiences and that we are not alone in this market. I would like to have the opportunity to keep on going with these conversations and, of course, be able to help everybody that wants to come to our beautiful city and our state."
