Description

Tucked away on a cul-de-sac off lower Tigertail, the Getty View Residence, designed by Abramson Architects and constructed in 2019, stands as a testament to modern architecture. This award-winning home beautifully integrates contemporary design with its natural surroundings, featuring three distinct stacked levels, each with its own unique facade. Integrated into the slope of the hillside, the first level -- where one enters the home by crossing over a reflecting pool and passing through a dramatic pivot door -- is comprised of board-form concrete. This level includes a temperature-controlled wine room, oversized 3-car garage, elevator, storage, and extra rooms that could convert to a theatre and/or gym. Ascend a graceful staircase combining wood and terrazzo to reach the main level. Here, large retractable doors and towering windows bathe the interior in natural light. The main level is shielded for privacy and energy efficiency by an aluminum louver facade. A sprawling great room features a landscaped atrium replete with a melaleuca tree, and an open-concept kitchen, dining and living room that lead out to the swimming pool and lush gardens. Auxiliary rooms encircle the core of the home and include a spacious office, family room, and gym which could also serve as a fourth bedroom. A floating staircase leads to the top level enveloped in white stucco and home to the primary suite, which offers breathtaking views of the Getty. The suite includes light-oak flooring, a marble-clad fireplace, cozy reading nook overlooking the garden, a luxurious bathroom with a soaking tub, and large custom closet. Two additional en- suite bedrooms are connected by a brightly lit hallway. The award-winning garden captivates, offering a sanctuary of peace and serenity. There are various sitting areas, each providing a unique view of the vibrant flora and meticulously maintained paths. Strategically placed sculptures enhance the artistic ambience of the space. Designed for entertaining, the expansive open areas can comfortably host large gatherings. The fusion of nature with modern elements creates an unmatched environment for relaxation, celebration and reflection.
