Featured in Architectural Digest, this spectacular artist compound, originally created by visionary Ed Ruscha, is truly a quintessential urban oasis. Situated on a corner lot combining two California Ranch houses, this gated estate sits on almost two acres of land in Brentwood. The two 1950's ranch structures were joined, creating an impressive great room, with high ceilings, from the space between, now ordained by a prominent fireplace with oversized windows and doorways connecting to the front and rear. The world class California landscape and pool having been the inspiration for much of Ruscha's profound art. Currently, the floor plan offers three spacious bedroom suites plus public spaces, including a seductive library, a respectable formal dining room, family and living rooms all anchored by a farm-style eat-in kitchen. All the rooms face the succulent cactus gardens, fountains and the romantic California pool. Away, up a meandering path, from the main structure sits an autonomous one bedroom, with porch, guest house. Beyond the guest house, the authentic meditation studio delineates the end of the grounds. The property's modern 60's vibe is flooded by California light and blue skies.
