Kessler's Comments: Listing Agent Juhree Fletcher has done a fantastic job transforming this fixer-Mid Century home into something really special. She added a beautiful master upstairs with a stunning bath and did a phenomenal job with the pool, kitchen, Living Room and pretty much everything. The light fixtures throughout the house reflect the cheerful ambiance of this home which is very bright and inviting, which is not always the case with Contemporary architecture. I really like this house!





Per the MLS Remarks: Elegant contemporary in the beautiful Crests area of Beverly Hills. Walls of disappearing Fleetwood sliders effortlessly blend the inside with outside, connecting the pool area and patio living room to the main house.






Wide plank floors, natural stone, multiple skylights and four fireplaces add character and convenience to everyday living.













































The master has a private deck, dressing room and fireplace.

















































































Two additional en-suite bedrooms and an office complete the property.












































The last detail has been addressed, and the home is ready to welcome lucky new owners.
