Overlooking the trees, rooftops and San Gabriel Mountains beyond, 936 Dexter Street embodies open plan living at its most luminous. One airy, flowing room sweeps from living to kitchen/dining area, ending at a wide glass door framing the view and folding open to a long deck.

Below, a stepped backyard flows through three magical entertaining levels: a covered patio; a sunken fire pit with seating for ten or more; and a lighted, trellised dining area.

The kitchen is a gleaming medley of stainless steel Italian commercial grade appliances, flat-paneled wood cabinetry, glass mosaic details, and an oversized island with waterfall quartz countertop. The bedrooms are highlighted by a master suite with French doors that open to the deck.

Amenities include an oversized terrazzo shower with Brizo fixtures and a bath with oak double vanity. Two more bedrooms and a full bath complete the home’s private area.

Ambience is controlled by automated lighting, climate, surveillance and surround sound systems that operate at the touch of a smart device. A carport completes the setting.

On the lower level, a second unit with separate address and entry features ten-foot ceilings, a bath with oak vanity, and hexagonal porcelain tile and terrazzo flooring.

The open kitchen features walnut cabinetry, a quartz waterfall peninsula with gas cooktop, stainless steel dishwasher and double refrigerator.

Highland Park’s trendy shops, restaurants and pubs are moments away. Listed by Ed Ortiz and Yonathan Baltazar at $1,249,999.
