Behind tall, lush hedges, this private Palisades compound is charming & exceptionally beautiful. The magic begins at the curb, where a handcrafted gate leads into a hidden world of drought tolerant gardens, outdoor rooms & terraces designed by noted landscape architect Joseph Marek. The front garden is shaded by an arbor of mature trees. Behind a wisteria-draped trellis lies a hidden path leading to a lush oasis of towering palms, a solar-heated spa/dipping pool & a riot of tropical plants. Amidst this sanctuary awaits a chic bungalow & separate guesthouse where traditional California architecture deftly blends European influences, vaulted ceilings, open living spaces & walls of French doors. The main house, full of character & light, features 2 large bedroom suites plus an office or 3rd bedroom. The detached studio is complete with its own kitchenette & private bath. Architectural detail and thoughtful design merge to create a rare & magical oasis.
