Behind a gate above Sunset Plaza, at the base of the Bird Streets, stands this sophisticated Mid-Century Modern single-story residence. Perched up, set back, and protected by lush landscaping, this near half-acre lot functions as a private serene hideaway just above the city. The heartbeat of the home is a great room, which spills outside to the pool area through Fleetwood sliding walls of glass. All three bedrooms enjoy this same amenity. The chefs kitchen boasts a full suite of Viking appliances, ample counter spaces and storage. In addition to two generously sized guest bedrooms and bathrooms, the master suite is equipped with a walk-in closet, soaking tub, and double vanity. The rooftop observation deck, complete with a wet bar, wine fridge, city lights, and ocean views makes for the perfect vantage point to watch the sun go down or come up. Other amenities include: parking for six, built-in audio and security. Stewards of this home will call the Sunset Strip their pantry.
