Never before on the open market, this architectural gem with a guesthouse and vineyard is more than a home; it is an experience. Architect Louis H. Huebner, Jr. showcased his design on Better Homes and Gardens cover in May of 1954. The current owners honored the original design through extensive architectural research and planning; they added an expansive primary suite and guest house in 2018 to bring modern conveniences to this retreat. Beamed ceilings support floor-to-ceiling windows framing jaw-dropping views from almost every room. The property sits on nearly ½ acre of land and was designed to take full advantage of indoor and outdoor living. This impressive compound is an entertainer's dream, with an open living space, glass walls, and polished concrete floors. It includes a tranquil koi pond with a glass walkover, multiple private patios, an expansive yard, an enclosed vegetable garden, a wine-tasting room, a custom wine cave, outdoor barbeque, and a vineyard of 30 mature Cabernet and Chardonnay grapevines. Enjoy and share the experience of producing 8-10 cases of your private-label wine every year! Need party space for 150+ of your closest friends or a quiet reading space tucked into the trees? No problem, this home has it all! This property features 4 bedrooms and 5 baths bathed in westerly light. Chefs and party hosts will enjoy the open kitchen, waterfall marble island, and luxury appliances to stage dining for every occasion. The west wing addition offers incredible city and treetop views from every angle and includes private patios, an en suite custom-designed spa retreat with marble wrapped double shower, jetted Japanese soaking tub, steam room, and private outdoor spa patio. The two-car garage offers plenty of room for cars, storage, and ample driveway parking. Escape through a tunnel of trees to the self-watering vegetable garden, fruit trees, and prominent weeping elms. The original architect's drawings inspired the detached studio guesthouse. Enjoy this creative work, play, or guest retreat with elevated ceilings and glass walls. Welcome to the Glass House on the hill at 1448 Brixton Road; not just a home…an experience!
