About this home

Defined by its striking use of stone and glass, juxtaposed against the dramatic backdrop of the city, The Bayou House, located in the famed Bird Streets, is a thoughtfully executed modern retreat by multidisciplinary designer Bradley Bayou. Completed in 2015, the home provides an unparalleled approach to craftsmanship, security, and functionality. Set behind a gated entry with mature hedges, feel welcomed home to a sense of privacy and effortless peace. A striking round entry with a glass ceiling, complete with a unique suction elevator, flows seamlessly to the formal living room. With floor to ceiling retractable glass walls on either side, the room beautifully showcases the home's infinity pool and manicured grounds. Back through the distinctive foyer sits the kitchen, complete with Miele appliances, its adjoining family room, featuring a two-sided gas fireplace and access to an additional courtyard, and the dining room. The wood and stone accents continue throughout the interior, as the sanctuary unfolds into the primary retreat. A serene ambiance is set by an additional fireplace, continued retractable glass walls, dual walk-in closets, and a spa-like bathroom. Two additional guest suites and a powder room sit on the main level. Descend down the grand, arched stairway to a lounge and bar area, a private theater room, the remaining two guest suites, a laundry room, and access to the subterranean 4-car garage. The home is complete with a Savant smart-home automation system, a gated driveway, and gated street entry. All of this, nestled in an iconic location just above the Sunset Strip in the prestigious Doheny Estates neighborhood.
