Pines House

In a secluded canyon above Beverly Hills, this home rises up through the pines like a lighthouse. And though the glitter and glamour of Rodeo Drive are only a few minutes away, this airy, elegant home is surprisingly peaceful. Settle at the bright breakfast bar beneath the kitchen’s skylight – from here you can peer through the glass-walled fireplace to the sitting room. Or head outside to take a dip in the pool while the children explore the playhouse. The blue wood-paneled living room’s corner sofa is a cozy spot from which to view the framed artwork, and the cool grey den is stocked stem to stern with books. In the master bedroom, blown-glass lamps and a chevron-patterned headboard complement the dark wood furniture and leather details, while pastel shades, plush toys, and a closet-facing porthole embellish the girl’s and boy’s rooms. The main floor office and the studio are located above the garage – the latter has a private crow’s nest with a kitchenette and sumptuous bed.
