MidCenturyModern

Situated on Alcima Avenue in Pacific Palisades, this tucked-back property exemplifies modernist design. Known as the "Abidi House," the residence exudes privacy and remains intact after the recent fires. Originally designed by acclaimed architect James Tyler (FAIA), former principal architect for Craig Ellwood, the home has been thoughtfully updated for contemporary living. Embracing its natural surroundings, the property features floor-to-ceiling windows in true mid-century tradition. The entry level opens with an expansive foyer framed by windows, leading to a great room that seamlessly combines living and dining areas, all oriented toward views of the backyard and pool. A covered outdoor dining terrace extends the living space, while two ensuite bedrooms and a gourmet eat-in kitchen complete this floor. The lower level offers the home's private quarters, including a serene primary suite, two additional bedrooms with a shared bath, and a flexible media room or indoor gym. Each generously sized room is thoughtfully designed to capture verdant outlooks and maintain a strong connection to the lush backyard. Outside, the centerpiece is a sparkling pool with a built-in spa, contributing to the property's calm, retreat-like atmosphere. Owners have completed all necessary remediation work resulting from the fires and will provide documentation to confirm.
