Tulum tranquility can be found in this Hollywood Hills property. Designed by Fred Smathers, this Spanish home has been reimagined as a meditative oasis. Located in the Nichols Canyon neighborhood, the designer masterpiece feels worlds away from the city only minutes below. The serene lot covers 8,163 square feet and the home includes four bedrooms and five bathrooms. Priced at $6,899,000, 2729 Nichols Canyon Road, Los Angeles, 90046 is listed by Shauna Walters with The Beverly Hills Estates.
The distinction of this carefully curated home is evident from the entryway. Guests are met with soaring, vaulted ceilings with outstanding arches and exposed beams. The custom lime plaster walls set the tone for an organic-meets-modern interior. A grand staircase acts as a stunning focal point, highlighting the understated grandeur. Natural materials, like stone tiles and Spanish oak floors, combine to create a peaceful atmosphere.
The living room is designed with both style and function in mind. A modern fireplace adds warmth, while a high-end entertainment system ensures the space is primed for casual gatherings. Expansive French doors add visible character and open directly to a carefully landscaped outdoor area. The entire space has been designed to maximize the connection between indoors and out. Natural light floods the room, highlighting the thoughtful design choices – including artisanal finishes and materials.
Arched, open doorways lead from one room to the next. The formal dining room sits elegantly underneath a sloped ceiling with wood beams. It offers two sets of French doors that lead to the outdoor terraces, making al fresco dining effortless and encouraged.
The gourmet kitchen includes matte ivory countertops with wood cabinets for contrast. The oven hood is a striking centerpiece, with a halo of glazed Zellige tiles around the opening. A comfortable seating area is directly connected to the kitchen, offering a cozy space to gather in front of an additional built-in fireplace.
The primary suite is a secluded retreat, designed with the same vaulted ceilings that add character throughout the home. A private balcony extends the space outdoors, offering a quiet place to unwind. The en-suite bathroom, inspired by a luxury spa, is crafted for ultimate relaxation. Just beyond, an intimate courtyard with an outdoor shower provides a refreshing escape.
Three additional bedroom suites offer self-contained spaces for family or guests. A tower office, set apart from the main living areas, provides an inspirational retreat for work or creative pursuits. Discreetly integrated into the layout, a custom wine cellar with fully tiled walls adds to the luxurious amenities.
The materials selected for the bathrooms emphasize the Tulum-inspired design. Minimalist in color scheme, the desaturated color palette makes the display of textures even more striking. Each bathroom includes brand-new custom bathtubs, sinks, and faucets. Additional modern upgrades include heated Toto toilets, heated floors, and steam room showers.
The patio is elevated by bricks laid in a basket weave pattern. The saltwater pool rivals a boutique hotel, with a patterned tile waterline. Positioned to take full advantage of the landscape, the grounds offer unobstructed views of breathtaking Los Angeles sunsets. This property is a uniquely exotic escape in the middle of the city.
