4027 PAIGE STREET, LOS ANGELES CA 90031

First time ever on the market, this extraordinary residence presents a rare opportunity. Designed and built as a personal sanctuary by an artist and architect, the home is a masterclass in harnessing light opening up to nature to create a modern yet timeless work of art. At the end of a private drive and bordering 280 acres of protected parkland, this secluded retreat on over an acre offers an immediate sense of escape while remaining just a 10 min drive to both DTLA and Pasadena. Wrapping a glass-walled courtyard, the home exhibits profound architectural principles, balancing scale, proportion, and materiality. Warm yet modern, the interiors integrate natural textures and refined finishes, creating a space that both inspires and soothes. Each of the major rooms has light on two sides-in one direction, the courtyard, in the other a view to a unique exterior experience. The landscape masterplan, by architect Mark Rios, seamlessly extends the home to a series of outdoor rooms in dialogue with the ones indoors. The adaptable floor plan features 3 bedrooms plus a dedicated office, which can serve as a 4th bedroom. The primary suite opens directly onto the courtyard and includes a spacious walk-in closet and a stunning en-suite bath, where sleek marble and stone meet handcrafted Heath tiles. Classic light fixtures and thoughtfully selected hardware complete the ambiance of understated luxury.Throughout the home, polished concrete floors provide a grounding aesthetic, while the chef's kitchen--open to a casual family area--complements a formal dining room and a living room with a fireplace. Every window is intentionally placed to frame views near and far of trees and landscape - even the Southwest Museum - transforming the outside world into an ever-changing delight.The exterior is equally compelling. A lemon tree-lined entryway leads to a grotto featuring concrete, brick, and wood, softened by cascading wisteria and the gentle sound of a corner fountain. Beyond, a series of outdoor spaces unfold--a grassy lawn, hardscaped terraces, an orchard of fruit trees and grapevines, and a mix of native and ornamental plantings. A meticulously maintained citrus orchard, curated by Fruitstitute LA, and a thriving vegetable garden, cultivated by Urban Farms LA, further enhance the sense of harmony with nature. At the rear of the garden, a private keyed gate offers direct access to a vast city park, where a tranquil lake shaded by trees, reveals views of the downtown skyline.
