Description

Nestled at the end of a long gated drive in Lower Mandeville Canyon, La Casa De Flores is a Spanish Revival estate of rare provenance and timeless beauty. Designed in 1929 by acclaimed architect John Byers and thoughtfully reimagined for modern living, the home sits on nearly an acre of lush, secluded grounds, offering an atmosphere that feels both grand and deeply inviting. Inside, the craftsmanship of the original era remains intact -- with wood-beamed and coffered ceilings, rich hardwood floors, graceful French doors, and hand-crafted casement windows. Sculptural designer lighting fixtures punctuate the interiors, enhancing the interplay of light and texture throughout. The formal living room, framed by garden views, is anchored by a stone fireplace and crowned by thick, solid wood beams. The formal dining room opens to verandas on both sides, creating effortless flow for gatherings, while the warm, inviting family room is wrapped in custom built-ins. The fully remodeled gourmet kitchen blends elegance and function with stone countertops, custom cabinetry, and an expansive dual-surface marble and butcher block island. A Lacanche range sits within a bespoke alcove, complemented by a walk-in pantry. Adjacent, the glass-topped atrium breakfast room dazzles with direct access to the outdoor kitchen and al fresco dining patio outfitted in vibrant Spanish tile and an original fountain. The primary wing offers a serene retreat with a private covered balcony, far-reaching canyon vistas, a corner fireplace, and a designer walk-in dressing room. Its en suite bath, bathed in natural light, features dual marble vanities and a custom-tiled shower. Four additional guest suites, including two joined by a Jack-and-Jill bath, provide comfort and flexibility. A detached office with a tranquil handpainted mural and expansive windows offers an inspiring workspace, while a coved wine cellar adds an indulgent touch. The grounds are a true sanctuary -- mature fruit trees, flowering gardens, peaceful fountains, and sweeping lush views frame a 55-foot swimmer's pool, brick patios, and a pergola lounge with firepit. Accessory structures and a three-car garage complete this rare and private compound, just moments from Brentwood's finest restaurants, boutiques, and top-rated schools. Blending architectural pedigree with modern comfort, La Casa De Flores is not merely a home -- it's a priceless work of art in one of Los Angeles' most coveted neighborhoods.
