About this home

Nestled on a picturesque tree-lined street in the heart of the coveted Brentwood Flats neighborhood, this exceptional East Coast-inspired residence seamlessly blends timeless architecture with modern California living. Newly built in 2019 and thoughtfully designed for both everyday comfort and effortless entertaining, the home offers almost 4,800 square feet of luxury living space. This includes both the main residence and a detached guest house, all set on an ultra-secluded, nearly 9,200-square-foot lot. A welcoming entry introduces beautifully crafted interiors highlighted by ten-inch-wide plank white oak floors, custom millwork, coffered ceilings, and abundant natural light throughout. Formal living and dining rooms provide elegant interconnected spaces for gathering, while the expansive kitchen and family room serve as the heart of the home. Serving as both a functional family hub and an exceptional entertaining space, the chef's kitchen is appointed with premium Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, an oversized center island with bar seating, extensive custom cabinetry, a dedicated walk-in pantry, a custom-built temperature-controlled wine closet, a butler's pantry, and seamless connection to the surrounding living spaces. Wall-to-wall Fleetwood pocket doors open to a resort-inspired backyard complete with a large-scale sparkling swimming pool and spa equipped with an automatic cover, expansive lawn area, outdoor dining pavilion with a retractable awning, built-in BBQ, and mature twenty-plus foot green hedges that create an exceptional sense of seclusion. A detached guest house with a full bathroom offers outstanding flexibility as either guest accommodations, a home office, gym, studio, or pool house. The thoughtfully designed main level also includes a bedroom suite complete with a full walk-in closet and ensuite bathroom. The fully outfitted laundry room features marble countertops, custom cabinetry, and a new LG WashTower system, and is conveniently located adjacent to the two-car direct-entry garage and a spacious mudroom with custom built-ins and cabinetry. Upstairs, the luxurious primary retreat features vaulted ceilings, a fireplace, a balcony overlooking the expansive backyard, dual fully built-out walk-in closets, and a spa-inspired marble bath with a soaking tub, oversized shower, and dual vanities. Three additional upstairs bedroom suites each feature full ensuite bathrooms and generously sized walk-in closets. An additional hallway storage/linen closet further enhances the home's exceptional functionality. An expansive rooftop deck crowns the residence, offering another more extraordinary outdoor living space with ample room for lounging, dining, and entertaining under the Southern California sky while capturing cool ocean breezes, sunrises, and sunsets. The home is moments from top-rated schools, nearby parks, recreation centers, Erewhon Market, Brentwood Country Mart, Brentwood Country Club, and the vibrant downtown Brentwood Village, allowing residents to enjoy convenient access to some of the Westside's finest shopping, dining, fitness, and lifestyle amenities. Combining exceptional craftsmanship, versatile living spaces, resort-style amenities, and a premier location in Brentwood Flats, 981 Amherst Avenue presents a rare opportunity to enjoy the very best of Westside living.
