The inward and outward appearance of a home seems like a trivial matter to some, though we’re here to tell you, that couldn’t be further from the truth. The way your house looks has a deep influence over your general mood and outlook on life, which is why so many design experts are now focusing on clean designs and minimalism. The cleaner the space around you, the easier it becomes to focus on what’s truly important in life. Another important aspect that we feel every home should have is ample space. When you’re feeling “boxed in”, it becomes difficult to let your creativity flow, and this can impact both your career and your personal life.
This is why today, we’re showing you around one of our favorite homes, 3239 Shelby Drive, in sunny Los Angeles. To us, 3239 Shelby Drive - last sold by Cesar Leyva back in 2018 - encompasses ideal design practices and more than a touch of class.
Tasteful Design, Ample Room
With over five thousand square feet of open space living, this house offers a unique take on California’s indoor-outdoor lifestyle. The designers cleverly picked white as their go-to color, which now serves to give the impression of even more space, as you glide through the enormous, high-ceiling living room area, furnished with an indoor fireplace, naturally, and with an in-built bookcase, tastefully black for the sake of contrast.
Here, you’ll be able to spend a myriad of dreamy evenings, enjoying a cozy chat with friends, a romantic tete-a-tete with your significant other, or maybe even a movie night with your children. After all, the house at 3239 Shelby Drive was built with large families in mind, and clearly, the decorators wanted you to have ample space for your loved ones.
The covered patio (complete with built-in BBQ) means you’ll never be at a loss for things to do during those hot summer months, and while you’re out there, heating up the grill, the kids can take a dip in the spacious pool or the adjacent sparkly water spa.
Your Oasis for Peace and Quiet
Yet sometimes, absence makes the heart grow fonder. When you’re looking to take a little break, and meditate, focus on work, or just lay back and enjoy some vintage records, this stellar property has got you covered, as well. With dedicated office space, a guest suite, and a high-ceiling master bedroom, there is plenty of space to get away without really getting away. Or perhaps your idea of a little break involves a nice soak, in which case, the master bathroom on the second floor is the place to be, with its grand, white soaker tub.
While the house at 3239 Shelby Drive is a tribute to family and friends, it’s also deftly focused on sparkling creativity and overall wellbeing. The tall windows let in plenty of natural light, which has been linked with the “happy hormone”, aka serotonin. So not only does the house provide a beautiful space to live, it also boosts your levels of happiness, and inspires creativity, thus allowing you to live your best life!
