Through a palette of warm neutrals and timeless materials, this newly built five-bedroom, five-bath residence is a true one of one, bringing an air of European refinement to the heart of the Melrose Design District. Wrapped with white bricks and framed by black steel windows and sage-toned gates, the home introduces itself with understated grace, privately set behind mature trees, manicured hedges, and a serene front courtyard that establishes a natural rhythm carried throughout the interiors. Designed by Studio De Lane, the interiors unfold in a thoughtful procession of light, proportion, and texture, where every transition feels intentional and curated. A limestone-tiled entry with patterned inlay establishes the home's old world meets contemporary aesthetic, bordered by wood portals that open sight lines through to the expansive rear garden. Beyond the foyer, the formal dining room and main living spaces expand effortlessly outdoors through full-height steel doors, connecting a sheltered patio lounge, pool, and ADU (complete with full bathroom and kitchen). The kitchen anchors the home in quiet luxury, defined by vaulted natural oak beams, bespoke marble countertops, and a large walk-in pantry complemented by a wine refrigerator and central island with convenient breakfast/bar seating. Built entirely above grade, the home features five bedrooms, each with its own ensuite bath and double doors that open directly to the outdoors, whether stepping onto a balcony above or out to the garden below. Upstairs, every bedroom is enhanced by pitched ceilings that accentuate height and volume, filling each space with natural light. The primary suite is a private retreat composed of a sitting area centered around a stone fireplace, dual closets, and a spa-like bath with a freestanding tub positioned beneath large picture windows, arched niches, and brushed brass fixtures. Throughout, the craftsmanship speaks in subtle gestures: the curvature of a stairwell, the softened corners of plaster walls, and the interplay of light across limestone and oak. On an oversized 6,000-square-foot lot on the west side of the street, the property also includes a fully equipped ADU with its own kitchen and bath, perfect for guests or creative use. Located just moments from the Pacific Design Center, Restoration Hardware, and Urth Cafe, this residence is a rare new construction that feels instantly settled, composed, and enduringly personal, a one-of-a-kind expression of timeless design in the coveted Melrose Design District.
