Striking Modernist 3-bed row-house in the heart of West Hollywood (just steps over the city line within Los Angeles) offers sleek contemporary finishes by Modative Architecture. High-quality 2015 steel-frame construction is built to last. All principal rooms enjoy south light, all-day sun and open views. The private 2-car garage off Romaine has direct access to the ground floor den (or additional office). The open-plan second floor for cooking, living and dining enjoys a sunny, unobstructed view to the new Academy Museum/LACMA, Wilshire skyscrapers and distant hills over Spanish tile rooftops. With each story, the views reach farther. Both the primary bedroom suite and adjacent second bedroom have their own private full bathrooms. As does the signature space of the house: A penthouse-like top floor bedroom (or truly glorious office/ family room) with views of DTLA, the Pacific Design Center and more. Disappearing walls of glass open to terraces east and west; a gas fireplace, hose bibs and barbecue hookup are provided for gardening and entertaining. Here the architecture erases not just the boundary between indoors and outdoors but succeeds in blurring the divide between wide-open sky and earthbound structure. Urban amenities within five blocks include high-end gyms, Whole Foods, florists, Laurel Hardware, Connie & Teds, Go Get 'Em Tiger Coffee and other services too numerous to list in full.
