A Modernist Los Feliz Oaks Retreat by William Adams Architects | 2165 Ponet Drive

Set behind a private gate in the wooded hills of Los Feliz Oaks, this modern residence by William Adams Architects has the rare combination of architectural presence, privacy, and a remarkably open relationship to our glittering city beyond.

Los Angeles, CA 90068

$3,800,000 | 3 Beds | 3 Baths | 2,749 Sq. Ft. | $1,382 Price/Sq.Ft. | 10,038 Sq. Ft. Lot | Built in 2000

Just moments from Griffith Park and the enchanting Fern Dell nature trail, the house occupies a hillside setting where mature hedges and established greenery provide a sense of seclusion, while expansive windows and elevated vantage points bring Los Angeles into the picture.

The home’s architecture is clean and contemporary without feeling austere or unwelcoming.

High ceilings, generous expanses of glass, and a restrained palette of designer finishes create interiors that feel bright, sophisticated, and deeply connected to their natural surroundings.

The living room is the dramatic center of the home. Beneath soaring ceilings, a large fireplace anchors the space, while broad windows open to an extraordinary panorama extending across the city to the downtown Los Angeles skyline. It is a room designed equally well for a quiet evening at home or a gathering with friends, with the architecture doing much of the work.

Throughout the house, the design is less about decoration than proportion, light, and the way each room exquisitely frames the landscape.

The kitchen continues the home’s polished but relaxed sensibility, with top-of-the-line appliances, sleek cabinetry, and an open configuration that connects it naturally to the dining room.

A bright breakfast room just off the kitchen provides an intimate setting for morning coffee and casual meals, while a stylish powder room adds another layer of considered design to the main living spaces.

Beyond, a private patio extends the living space outdoors, where a plunge pool and spa create a secluded spot for swimming, soaking, or taking in the hillside atmosphere.

The indoor-outdoor connection feels particularly natural here, with the surrounding greenery softening the home’s crisp architectural lines.

The plunge pool offers a refreshing place to cool off and unwind, with all the pleasures of a pool and considerably less maintenance than a full-size one.

Upstairs, the primary suite is a quiet retreat bathed in brilliant natural light.

This spacious suite opens to jetliner city views, while the en-suite bathroom introduces a more tactile element with a sculptural soaking tub and contemporary fixtures.

The generous walk-in closet is custom-made and painted a calming shade of blue.

The lower level shifts the mood.

Cooler and more intimate, it contains two additional well-appointed bedrooms, a full bathroom, laundry area, and a comfortable den-like space that lends itself naturally to movie nights and slower evenings.

The arrangement gives the home an appealing separation between its more expansive entertaining spaces and its private, relaxed quarters.

A dedicated office provides a quiet, light-filled setting for working from home, with a sense of separation from the main living spaces.

The appeal of Los Feliz Oaks lies in its unusual sense of seclusion without sacrificing access to the city. Griffith Park and its extensive network of hiking trails are just moments away, while the restaurants, cafés, markets, and studios of Los Feliz and Hollywood are within easy reach, including all your new favorite hotspots like All Time, Wilde’s, Vandell, The Oaks Gourmet, Lazy Acres, and Little Dom’s.

2165 Ponet Drive provides an extraordinary setting that complements the home’s unique, almost Brutalist architecture perfectly: private and surrounded by greenery, yet oriented toward the energy and expansive views of Los Angeles.

With its brilliantly measured design, generous light, and effortless connection between indoors and out, this is the kind of house that offers a particularly refined and altogether one-of-a-kind take on life in the Los Feliz hills.
