House on stilts to enhance mountain views lists for $2.7M in California. Take a look
While stilt architecture is not too uncommon these days, it’s pulled off uniquely with this Agoura Hills, California, house as the stilts help enhance the aesthetic appeal of the Santa Monica mountains surrounding it.
“I’ve never seen anything like this home in Los Angeles,” listing agent Alan Taylor said to Dwell.com.
The house, on the market for $2.699 million, was designed by architect Ellis David Gelman, who is famous for his “Star Trek” home in Malibu, Dwell reports.
“I spoke at length with Gelman about his inspiration, and he really saw this as an opportunity to create a modern residence that offers thoughtful design and effortless function,” Taylor said.
The three-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom home has a 360-degree view of the mountains surrounding it. It has a living room “with soaring ceilings and walls of glass frame views of the stunning vistas, which become part of the living space,” the listing describes.
Also, two kitHAUS modules (prefab structures that can serve as anything from a guest house to a yoga studio) sit on the lavish property.
The home is “a one-of-a-kind functioning work of art,” the listing said.
