Newly rebuilt and reimagined by renowned local design/build company Nubis Development, this striking Frogtown compound includes a 3 bed, 2.5 bath main residence spanning 2,205 sq ft and a rear 1 bed, 1 bath ADU totaling 565 sq ft. Thoughtfully built with exquisite, romantic design, the property delivers a seamless blend of functionality, indoor-outdoor living, and serene sophistication in one of Los Angeles' most vibrant neighborhoods. Positioned on a prominent corner lot, the home makes a striking first impression with its bold, modern facade - wrapped in stone cladding and a moody charcoal exterior. Tall privacy hedging and curated plantings frame a gated entry path leading to the front door, offering a subtle, private approach to the light-filled home. The entry opens into a dramatic living space centered around a fireplace, while expansive Milgard sliding doors create an effortless connection to the surrounding patios and yard. An intriguing powder room features Roman clay walls and a custom marble sink. The kitchen serves as the focal point, anchored by a generous center island with honed Carrara marble countertops and bar seating. Custom cabinetry provides abundant storage, while skylights above the six-burner range bathe the space in natural light. A chef's dream, additional amenities include a paneled dishwasher, a full suite of THOR appliances, and a tucked-away pantry with a built-in microwave. An arched bar area with a wine refrigerator adds an elevated touch. At the far corner, the dining room is wrapped in floor-to-ceiling Milgard sliding doors on three sides, creating a bright and tranquil setting for dining. A sculptural staircase leads to the second level, where all three bedrooms are thoughtfully arranged along a striking curved hallway. At the end of the hall, the primary suite serves as a true retreat, featuring decorative molding along the bedside wall with sconces flanking the bed, a spacious walk-in closet, and a private balcony with integrated planters. The ensuite bathroom evokes a spa-like experience, complete with a freestanding soaking tub, Sacal flagstone floor tiles, an oversized shower with grid-style glass and dual rain shower heads, and a vanity with dual sinks and Crema Lisboa limestone countertops. Two additional bedrooms share a beautifully appointed hall bathroom with natural stone flooring, while a dedicated laundry room adds everyday ease. Crowning the main residence, a rooftop deck offers a showstopping space for entertaining, complete with a built-in BBQ, sink, refrigerator, bar-top seating, planter boxes, and ambient lighting - all accessed by a spiral staircase and designed to capture sweeping views. At the rear of the property, the newly constructed ADU mirrors the main home's thoughtful design and material palette. The open-concept living space features limewash walls and a full kitchen skylit with custom cabinetry and stainless steel LG appliances. A serene bedroom, well-appointed bathroom, and in-unit laundry make it a fully self-sufficient space, while its own rooftop deck provides an additional private outdoor escape, highlighted by a sculptural, geometric staircase that adds a remarkable architectural moment to the exterior. The outdoor spaces are thoughtfully designed, offering a series of distinct yet connected areas for lounging, dining, and entertaining. The backyard is finished with a custom fountain, fire pit, textured stonework, and patios off the living room and dining room, all brought together by lush, curated plantings from Natalie Chandler Design that enhance both privacy and visual depth. This exceptional property is surrounded by beloved local favorites, including the LA River bike path, Wax Paper, Lingua Franca, Loreto, Salazar, and Spoke Bicycle Caf. With its design-forward aesthetic and versatile layout, this compound offers a rare opportunity to experience elevated living in one of LA's most creative communities.
