13449 Mulholland Dr Behind private gates, a long driveway leads to a motor court and a custom modern estate on over an acre in the hills of Beverly Hills. The impressive approach sets the tone: private, quiet, and unhurried. Mature trees and manicured hedges frame the way, and a warm wood entry door opens to a lawn overlooking the valley.Designed by Montalba Architects, the residence is defined by clean lines, walls of glass, and an open plan that bathes the interior in natural light. Nearly every room opens to explosive views of the canyon and the San Fernando Valley, from sunlit days to sunsets that turn the sky orange and pink. The living and dining areas open to the terrace, allowing indoor and outdoor living to flow together.Inside, nearly 5, 800 square feet encompass five bedrooms and six baths, Italian cabinetry, a gourmet kitchen, custom built-ins, a media room, and hardwood and stone floors. The primary suite is a retreat unto itself, with dual walk-in closets, an attached office, and a private patio.Outdoors, the grounds are designed for entertaining. The pool and spa, built-in BBQ, outdoor fireplace, and dedicated wine room all sit within reach of the living areas, and the view remains ever present. A covered lounge with a fireplace extends the evenings well past sunset. A RARE combination of privacy, architecture, and setting, just moments from Beverly Hills.
