<\/a><\/p>\nPhoto:\u00a0Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices CA Properties<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n There\u2019s a brand new way to rock a mullet. While the shaggy hairstyle may have fallen out of fashion, the \u2018mullet house\u2019 is quickly gaining popularity as homeowners seek to add modern additions to their traditional homes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The fa\u00e7ade of <\/span>1104 Nowita Place<\/span><\/a> suggests it\u2019s just another Venice Beach bungalow, albeit a lovingly restored one with a burnt orange front door and drought tolerant landscaping. But the original 1922 Craftsman has a secret to tell \u2014 that protrusion in the back is not, in fact, a neighboring residence, but a modernist double-height addition with floor-to-ceiling windows, a stunning master retreat and cozy reading nook.<\/span><\/p>\n Photo:\u00a0Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices CA Properties<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n Unsurprisingly, the three-bedroom, two-and-a-half bathroom home was reimagined by an architect-owner, the founder of AML Studio and former in-house architect and designer for the Gjelina restaurant group.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Photo:\u00a0Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices CA Properties<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n The \u201cbusiness in the front\u201d begins with a formal sitting room featuring exposed beams and a plaster-surround fireplace. The light-filled dining area offers some seclusion, yet remains open to the rest of the house. <\/span><\/p>\n Photo:\u00a0Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices CA Properties<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n Photo:\u00a0Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices CA Properties<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n The dining area connects directly to the kitchen, which is outfitted with charcoal-stained cabinetry, brass hardware, concrete countertops, Sub-Zero and Bertazzoni appliances, and a stately grey marble backsplash.<\/p>\n Photo:\u00a0Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices CA Properties<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n Photo:\u00a0Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices CA Properties<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n A well-sized bedroom can also be found on the lower level, providing privacy for friends and family when they come to visit. The adjacent three-piece bathroom combines old and new design elements, such as the wood bathtub skirt and pebble-stone flooring. The powder room packs a punch with large format hexagon tiles, a floating wood vanity and marble vessel sink.<\/p>\n Photo:\u00a0Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices CA Properties<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n The airy living room joins the \u201cparty in the back\u201d with a clerestory window and plenty of room for an oversized sectional. This space leads to the aforementioned two-story wall of windows, which houses a slate-covered staircase with a reading nook at the top.<\/p>\n Photo:\u00a0Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices CA Properties<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n The listing suggests this counts as a bedroom (there seems to be some sort of daybed), although I\u2019m not sure how much shut eye I\u2019d get sans blackout blinds.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Photo:\u00a0Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices CA Properties<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n The home\u2019s real pi\u00e8ce de r\u00e9sistance is the upstairs master retreat, featuring a butterfly roof with exposed ceiling joists. A custom white oak walk-in closet is separated by a partition wall with built-in bookshelves and additional closed storage can be found along the wall opposite the bed. <\/span><\/p>\n Photo:\u00a0Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices CA Properties<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n Photo:\u00a0Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices CA Properties<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n The master ensuite is a symphony of marble, wood and concrete. A curbless walk-in shower is accented with aged brass, while the double-sink vanity extends down the wall to include a chic makeup counter. Oh, and did I mention the geometric concrete tile floors offer radiant heating?<\/span><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
