4700 Palm Drive, La Canada Flintridge, CA 91011

On the market for the first time since its conception, this extraordinary three-level estate was thoughtfully designed & built by its original owner, a professional architect. Set at the end of a long, gracious private driveway, the home blends sculptural form, enduring materials, seamless indoor-outdoor flow. Constructed with copper, concrete, Douglas Fir, commercial-grade systems, it offers visual distinction & long-term performance. A custom laser-cut stainless steel front door trimmed in exotic hardwood opens to interiors framed in Douglas Fir, where a floating copper 'cloud' conceals ductwork above the main hallway. The main level features a dramatic living room with soaring ceilings, acoustic slats, asymmetrical windows, & a cast-in-place concrete fireplace. Above it, the copper 'cloud' continues, concealing the flue & reinforcing the home's sculptural theme. The kitchen is both functional & refined, equipped with granite slab counters, two dishwashers, double ovens, a warming drawer, an oversized fridge & freezer, built-in trash drawers, & a walk-in pantry. A marble-topped buffet anchors the formal dining area, while the open family room offers built-in shelving & a copper-topped desk. Both rooms open to a covered patio & landscaped yard. A versatile bedroom or office & a guest bath complete the main level. Upstairs, the primary suite offers treetop views, a walk-in closet, & a spa-style bath with granite slab surfaces & a glass-block-accented walk-in shower with dual shower heads. Three additional bedrooms include a junior suite & two joined by a Jack-and-Jill bath. Skylight wells enhance natural light & airflow. The laundry room includes generous storage, a utility sink, & roof access via an integrated ladder. The daylight basement includes a three-car garage--an oversized two-car bay with ample room for storage & maneuvering, & a separate single-car garage used as a workshop with 220V outlets & compressed air lines. Adjacent is a large, finished multi-purpose suite with its own HVAC system, private entrance, & half bath. Originally designed as the architect's office & currently used as a gym, the space offers flexibility for a guest suite, studio, or potential ADU. Additional highlights include: elevator to all levels, copper plumbing, fire sprinklers, Loewen windows, central vacuum, multi-zone HVAC, & carbon-based water filtration. This rare architectural offering was built to creatively combine form, function, & beauty.
