9 Modern Farmhouses That Won’t Be on the Market for Long
This bleached-wood-paneled Beverly Hills home masterfully embraces the concept of indoor-outdoor living. The main level features not one but three enormous sliding glass doors that open onto a resort-like pool area complete with a 10-person dining area, a row of chaise longues, and a fire pit with custom banquette seating. The suites on the upper level that overlook the oasis below boast the same large-scale pocket-like glass doors, bringing the freshness of the outdoors inside. Though the multistory mansion is outfitted with all of the fixings of a five-star hotel, including a wine cellar, full gym and spa, and private movie theater with an overhead projector, it’s utterly warm courtesy of 11-foot wide steel-case-glass windows through which sunlight floods in. Not to mention that the organic materials throughout, such as the glossy exposed brick that runs from the entryway through one of the casual living spaces, give the home an approachable feel that isn’t at all fussy.
