An architectural icon perched on a west-facing ridge below the Hollywood Sign, "Nakahouse" is a true 1-of-1 trophy property. Available for only the second time ever, this abstract reimagining of a 1960s hillside home by XTEN Architecture has earned the industry's highest honors, including multiple AIA Design Awards and the American Architecture Award. As one of the final projects by the late, legendary architect Austin Kelly, the home's prestige is further cemented by features in the LA Times, The Real Deal, Dezeen, and countless design publications celebrating its impeccable artistry and architectural significance. The experience begins with a striking sensory juxtaposition: a monolithic exterior draped in deep black Meoded Venetian plaster that acts as a bold, obsidian frame for the weightless sanctuary within. Move through the dreamy entryway fountain and the world shifts. Inside, the environment is entirely "uncontained". Pristine white epoxy floors and lacquered cabinetry dissolve the traditional boundaries of a home, allowing the living spaces to pour into one another with a very natural fluidity. Floor-to-ceiling glass panels disappear entirely, erasing the line between the interior and the canyon beyond. The sweeping views of the Hollywood Sign, Griffith Observatory, and unobstructed ridge-lines all feel like a private, panoramic screening of Los Angeles. Every room is a curated frame for nature, designed for environmental harmony with passive cooling systems that invite the hillside breezes to circulate freely. Modern comforts are integrated thoughtfully with design in mind - hidden speakers throughout the inside and outside, including 5.1 surround sound in the living room, high-end kitchen appliances by Miele and Thermador, smart motorized shades throughout, top-level security cameras and alarm system, faucets by Dornbracht and Hansgrohe, disappearing sliding doors, custom built-in cabinetry, and much more to cultivate an enviously luxurious lifestyle. The expansive terraces lead to a rooftop sundeck - prepped with utility ports ready for a hot tub and solar panels - offering a private sanctuary under the stars. With high-end finishes throughout, this is a rare fusion of museum-quality design and sustainable modern luxury. Don't miss the opportunity to visit this masterpiece firsthand - it's a true gem that must be seen to be fully appreciated.
