Situated deep in Rustic Canyon is this fantastic 1960’s Mid-Century home designed by architect Matthew Leizer. Surrounded by lush greenery, and backed up to Rustic Canyon Park, this home offers one of the most idyllic settings on the Westside, which is why it’s this weeks Top Property.

There are few negatives when it comes to living in Rustic Canyon, but one would be that it’s very dark and dank. The design of the house coupled with the location of the lot helps captures an incredible amount of sunlight, which compliments the interior pool perfectly. In addition, the home has walls of glass that allow the sunlight to permeate the interior of the home.

This top property has six well-proportioned bedrooms, five and half bathrooms, an open kitchen, and a detached studio in the backyard, which round out the home. There are also a couple cozy fireplaces that give the home great energy.

This is a classic Rustic Canyon home that should not be missed. The asking price is $3,695,000.

The Santa Monica Canyon is a small neighborhood hidden between the Santa Monica “flats” to the south, Pacific Palisades to the north, Riviera Country Club to the east, and the beautiful Pacific Ocean to the west. There are a number of restaurants, shops, and a small market that serve the community.

634 Hightree Road is not scheduled to be open to the public, but it can be shown by appointment.
