1700 Mandeville Canyon

Rare opportunity: Two properties 1700 Mandeville Cyn Rd and 1710 Mandeville Cyn Rd combined into one sweeping 1.27 acre lot (aggregating 56,454 SF) off lower Mandeville Canyon Road only one block above Sunset Blvd. Tucked away down a long private driveway (the first driveway past the stop sign at Westridge), owned exclusively by the property, this quiet, secluded compound boasts a mid-century modern architectural gem designed by master architect Richard Dorman and recently restored and enhanced by acclaimed architect John Bertram. It is a home of warmth, lightness and calm, with high ceilings, wood posts and beams, an abundance of natural light, wide plank, matte white oak floors, and sliding walls of glass, all looking out to a magical, verdant property. It has an enormous flat yard (rare in this area) and a gently sloping hillside of beautiful specimen trees which frame the estate, providing exceptional privacy and giving a magical, verdant quality to the property. The property has large garden boxes, for growing vegetables, fruit and flowers, and, halfway up the hillside, a second flat pad large enough for a studio, a children's play area or a beautiful dinner party. Downstairs are four sizable guest suites, a gym/office, generous formal dining room, cozy den, two-story entry gallery, and the sociable open kitchen/family room surrounded by glass. Upstairs is the masterful primary suite with dual walk-in closets, dual spa-like baths, large lounge area, and a private office. An additional guest suite is above the garage. Perfect for those who seek that seemingly impossible-to-find large lot with a human sized house. Once you enter the long private drive, you are immediately transported to another time and place; yet you are only moments away from the best retail, dining, schools, hiking, and biking Brentwood has to offer.
