1180 Stone Canyon Road

A five-bedroom modern on a flat Bel Air lot, built around a 60-foot pool.

The house sits behind a gated motor court at the quiet end of Stone Canyon Road. Almost the whole ground floor opens onto the pool terrace through pocketing glass walls, so the kitchen, family room and dining room read as one long room in summer and three separate ones when the doors are closed.

The primary suite takes up the east wing upstairs, with a dressing room, a bathroom finished in honed limestone and a private terrace that catches the morning sun. Three more bedrooms each have their own bathroom, and the fifth sits on the ground floor beside the gym, which works well as a guest room or for a live-in nanny.

The owners built the house in 2019 and have kept it in very good order. Solar panels on the flat roof cover most of the daytime load, the pool is heated by a heat pump, and the landscaping was planted with drought-tolerant olives and grasses that need little water.
