828 North Gardner Street

Set within a highly convenient locale in the heart of Melrose, this architectural showcase sets a new benchmark for modern California living. Borrowing heavily from mid-century modern design, the striking concrete and wood exterior opens into light-filled, open-concept interiors where continuous white oak finishes and floor-to-ceiling disappearing walls of glass create a seamless indoor-outdoor flow. The main level centers around a gourmet chef's kitchen--complete with midnight black cabinetry and cutting-edge appliances--which flows effortlessly into an expansive dining space and great room anchored by a floor-to-ceiling fireplace. Designed with hosting and relaxation in mind, the home boasts an impressive suite of high-end entertainment amenities, including a private movie theater, marble bar, and a custom glass-enclosed wine cellar. Accommodation includes five versatile bedrooms for family, guests, a home office, or a music studio. The luxe primary retreat serves as a private sanctuary, featuring a travertine fireplace, two walk-in closets, an exclusive private balcony, and a black marble-clad spa bath equipped with dual sinks, a full-size soaking tub, and a separate shower. Outdoors, the sanctuary continues across multiple levels. Surrounded by tall, mature greenery for total privacy, the backyard features a covered patio, grassy lawn, pool, and spa designed for effortless open-air dining and lounging. Up top, an expansive rooftop patio with a built-in BBQ, private bathroom, and sweeping city vistas provides another dramatic setting for entertaining. Gated for security, the property offers a private two-car garage with additional driveway parking, along with the rare option to purchase the residence fully furnished with curated Restoration Hardware pieces. Perfectly positioned just moments from Melrose's premier dining, boutique shopping, galleries, and nightlife--with easy access to Beverly Hills and Hollywood--this residence offers an uncompromised Los Angeles lifestyle.
