3122 Nichols Canyon, Nicholas Canyon
4 Bed | 3.25 Bath
An exhilarating rehabilitation of a mid-century classic. Located at the top of Nichols Canyon on a quiet cul-de-sac, the home has been strikingly modernized yet remains faithful to the confident, unfussy simplicity of Fickett’s original aesthetic. It is sited on a handsomely landscaped knoll above the street, flanked by the original carport. Through the double entry doors one is struck immediately by the open living plan and dramatic glass atrium and pond that anchors the center of the home, bringing the peaceful sound of water flowing over rocks indoors and filtering light throughout. Cool white limestone floors play against the heft of the double-sided river rock fireplace and the geometry of a cinder block feature wall. Floor to ceiling Fleetwood doors allow the entire rear of the house to be opened to the pool and deck, creating a seamless flow between indoors and out. Despite this openness of design, the house also affords real privacy. The master bedroom also opens to the pool and possesses a beautiful master bathroom, replete with free-standing soaking tub and Dornbracht appliances. Two of the guest bedrooms access their own private side patio and the fourth bedroom currently functions as a home office, complete with custom built desk and shelving.
The house also features custom kitchen and bathrooms, updated systems, a brand new roof and integrated sound system. A terrific house for showcasing art and a terrific home for entertaining, while at the same time relaxed, comfortable and private.
