Although Marshall Lewis has gained worldwide attention for his colorful mixed-media paintings, his other career as an award-winning architect has resulted in several avant-garde residences scattered throughout Los Angeles that shed light on this artist's other career. 

A modern masterpiece has just come on the market for a little under $7.5 million in Pacific Palisades, on a secluded tree-lined street within the leafy Rustic Canyon neighborhood of Pacific Palisades, which is located just outside the city limits.

Adding to the architectural property's unique panache and making it a truly one-of-a-kind property, Rich Report refers to it as being “super-sexy, with an amazing mix of old meets new, even though it was built almost 40 years ago.”

On an acre of thickly wooded land, which spans over a third of an acre and runs alongside Rustic Creek, you will find a curvaceous structure built in the late 1980s, tucked away behind a gated driveway on a heavily wooded plot as large as a basketball court. 

In total, the home boasts five bedrooms and an equal number of bathrooms, all of which are spread across a multi-level living space of more than 5000 square feet, which are all embellished by a variety of features including exposed cement pillars, tile and hardwood floors, vaulted redwood-paneled ceilings dotted with clerestory windows, and large expanses of glass that connect indoors and outdoors seamlessly.

There is a double-height living room with a fireplace, plus French doors leading to a covered patio, an ideal place for al fresco dining and entertaining. The living room is especially striking with a fireplace and French doors leading to the patio. 

There are also a number of highlights in the house, including a music room lined with large windows, a family room with a wet bar, a formal dining room with built-in glass shelving, and a sleekly designed gourmet kitchen with high-end stainless appliances, an eat-in island, and an accompanying breakfast nook, as well as a spacious living area.

There's a traditional staircase leading upstairs to the beautiful master suite, a romantic retreat with all the in-room amenities you could desire, including a fireplace, private balcony, dual walk-in closets, a separate sitting room, and a spa-inspired bathroom. Additionally, the grounds on this floor are laced with mature redwood and sycamore trees, and the pool and spa are surrounded by a rock-lined pool and a guest/children's wing with a shared bath. 

Finally, outside, flat and grassy grounds have mature redwood and sycamore trees, as well as a swimming pool and spa. As well as the attached art studio, there is also a three-car garage available for your use.
