414 Avondale Avenue in Brentwood
Designed by world-renowned modernist architect Richard Neutra, this home was originally built in 1942 for NBC radio producer John Nesbitt. Restored and renovated by acclaimed designer Barbara Barry and Architect David Serrurier the home is sited on a rare 24,810 square foot lot. The grounds surrounding the property are dense with tropical plants, lush gardens and offers seven water features all while being centrally located to local shops, restaurants and community.
Floor to ceiling walls of glass envelop the main living spaces. The combined living room and dining room features views to the verdant lawn, brick paved patio and pool area.
With views to the backyard, the kitchen is surrounded with walls of windows and tall vaulted ceilings. A center island holds the gas range, surrounding cabinetry is low profile and simple. Additional clerestory windows extend the sight lines from the kitchen through to the lawn.
When updating and renovating this architectural gem, a master bedroom was added to the main structure and two bedrooms were added to the ancillary structure, adding space and function while honoring Neutra’s vision and style.
The incredible master bathroom features a full wall of built in cabinetry and views to the tranquil gardens.
The den, with brick clad wood burning fireplace, custom built-in cabinetry with desk and sliding glass door with low-profile sill, seamlessly integrates the indoors with the outdoors.
The brick floors from inside the home extend out to the patio amid the green landscaping.
