LOCALLA

Beyond gates on a coveted hillside street, The Alto Cedro House is a private retreat of rare composure, where light, materiality, and scale are perfectly balanced. Extensively reimagined in 2022, including a substantial addition, the residence spans more than 5,800 square feet with six bedrooms and seven-and-a-half baths, marrying crisp architecture with a warm palette of oak, marble, and glass. The interiors are luminous and quietly cinematic. Skylights and expansive panes draw sunlight deep into the home, where sculpted detailing and finely executed finishes create an atmosphere that feels at once tailored and serene. The principal rooms unfold with an easy rhythm and open broadly through seamless Fleetwood sliding glass doors to the gardens, lawn, pool, and spa, with the hillside setting serving as a constant backdrop. At the center of the home, the kitchen is both sculptural and deeply functional, wrapped in Calcutta marble and appointed with Miele and Sub-Zero appliances. It connects seamlessly to the family room and to a heated outdoor dining pavilion, allowing daily life and entertaining to move effortlessly between indoors and out. The floor plan is thoughtful and highly livable. On the main level, a handsome office with en suite bath is joined by two guest suites and a relaxed media room. Upstairs, the primary suite feels distinctly set apart, with sweeping views to the Pacific, an expansive terrace, a marble bath warmed by wood detailing, and a dressing room with the sensibility of a private atelier. Two additional guest suites, a screening room, and a gym or meditation studio complete the upper level. Outside, the grounds are lush, secluded, and peaceful. A firepit lounge sits beside the pool and spa, citrus trees lend fragrance to the air, and a tucked-away pavilion invites conversation or stillness. Multiple outdoor areas, furnished with an understated resort sensibility, give the property the ease of a private retreat above the city. Supporting the beauty is a meaningful level of infrastructure, including Savant home automation, integrated security cameras, solar panels with battery and generator backup, dual EV chargers, custom wine storage, a UV-ozone pool system with retractable cover, whole-house oxygen ozone water filtration, and a Daikin seven-zone heat pump system. Architectural yet warm, polished yet unforced, The Alto Cedro House offers a nuanced expression of luxury. It is defined by privacy and atmosphere, as well as by scale and finish, with immediate access to Beverly Hills, the Sunset-West Hollywood corridor, and Studio City.
