The Borun House and Garden. A rare opportunity to own an exceptional example of mid-century modern architecture in prime Brentwood Park. Commissioned in 1960 from the acclaimed architectural firm Benton & Park, AIA, with a significant garden by celebrated landscape architect Garrett Eckbo, this single-owner residence beautifully captures the essence of the era with its clean lines, single-story profile, and seamless indoor/outdoor living. Set on a gently sloping, street-to-street parcel of more than 26,000 sf, the single-story composition is defined by clean horizontal lines, a flat roof with deep overhanging eaves, vertical wood siding, and tan Norman brick. A recessed double-door entry introduces the approximately 4,200 sf main residence, where 5 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms unfold with quiet elegance. The light-filled living room is anchored by a walnut-clad fireplace and floor-to-ceiling walls of glass, capturing the timeless appeal of California modernism. Walnut-paneled cabinetry with a concealed bar seamlessly connects the living and dining rooms, where soaring ceilings create an elegant setting for both formal entertaining and everyday gatherings. The interiors are filled with custom furniture by Sam Maloof, adding a distinctive layer of provenance and warmth throughout the home. The serene primary suite serves as a private retreat, highlighted by a dramatic corner window that frames sweeping views of the surrounding gardens and brings the outdoors into everyday living. Every room feels considered, with original details preserved in a manner that honors the integrity of the original design while underscoring its continued relevance. Eckbo's masterfully designed grounds unfold mature plantings, terraced gardens, winding brick pathways, trellises, tranquil koi ponds, and multiple entertaining patios to create a richly layered outdoor experience. At the heart of the grounds, an iconic swimming pool creates a striking focal point while reinforcing the connection between architecture and nature. A separate two-bedroom guest house with its own gated driveway offers exceptional flexibility for guests, a home office, or creative workspace. Thoughtfully preserved with an extraordinary number of original details intact, this once-in-a-generation offering combines architectural pedigree, historical significance, and enduring modern appeal to create a private sanctuary of style and serenity in one of Brentwood's most coveted neighborhoods.
