It consists of two discrete structures, one of which is devoted to the main living spaces and master suite, while the other comprises guest quarters, an office, an exercise room, and a garage.\nPROPERTY VALUES: To allow for a backyard, the home was built on the edge of the half-acre site, which enjoys views of the Santa Monica Mountains.\nTALKING POINT: Particularly dramatic is the glass-enclosed bridge connecting the two volumes.
