| Behind the private gate on Placerita Canyon Road lie many different homes. While some are older than others, some are simply works of art; a place that is as breathtaking every time you come “home” as it was the first day you saw it. Welcome to the home of David Davis. This custom home, completed in 2010, is as much a work of art as it is a home; it is as much for entertaining as it is for relaxing and unwinding from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Flanged by an open fence, the front yard sets the tone for the house. While some of the pilasters are wrapped in sumptuous cream plaster, others are faced in raw flagstone, each capped with concrete and a lovely finial – a bronze light fixture. Inside the expansive living room, dark wood beams peak through the ceiling, offering support and a natural beauty. David loves music; as such, his guitar collection hangs from the walls, while a drum set sit resolutely at the entrance. At the bar, an inset tile backsplash and marble countertops are offset by more dark wood of the bar stools and shelving, while the stainless fixtures add a modern touch. The kitchen and family room blend seamlessly together with the formal dine, creating an exquisitely open “great room.” The dining room ceiling is a nice touch – reclaimed brick, again, some 200 years old and imported from France, line the area, bejeweled by canister lighting, the focal point being a beautiful chandelier. The rich kitchen cabinets, fronted in seeded glass, are contrasted beautifully by the luxurious cream marble countertops, a juxtaposition fitting of this home. |
