More Insights

Built in 1964 (62 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1964, the property has clearly undergone an extensive, high-quality, and recent renovation. The description highlights an 'elevated design' with a 'refined material palette' of polished cement and warm wood. The kitchen is described as 'custom' and features sleek, modern cabinetry, high-end integrated appliances, and contemporary finishes. The primary bathroom, with its 'dramatic cement accent' and bamboo views, is exceptionally modern and luxurious. Throughout the home, the flooring (polished concrete and warm wood), lighting, and fixtures are all current and in pristine condition, indicating that all components are new or virtually new, meeting current quality standards. The outdoor areas, including the pool, firepit, and deck, also appear recently updated and meticulously maintained.

About this home

This listing features 2220 Banyan Dr as a standalone offering. It may also be purchased in conjunction with the adjacent residence at 2230 Banyan Dr, which is listed on the market for an additional $3,445,000 which allows the owner to combine the properties to create one large, special compound with two separate structures. 2220 Banyan Drive is a 5-bedroom, 4.5-bathroom residence spanning 4,107 square feet, seamlessly blending elevated design with everyday livability. Set behind a lush, landscaped entry courtyard with a peaceful fountain and generous grassy lawn, the home immediately sets a tone of serenity and sophistication. Through double front doors, a sun-drenched sitting room introduces the home's refined material palette; a striking mix of polished cement and warm wood that adds texture, depth, and architectural character throughout. To the right, sets a private room perfect for your at home work space or guest quarters. Adjacent is the spacious primary suite, where awe-inspiring canyon and city vistas greet you each morning. Anchored by a sleek fireplace, the primary bedroom also features a custom closet and a dramatic cement accent bathroom surrounded by bamboo, creating a retreat that feels both luxurious and grounded. The heart of the home unfolds around expansive living areas that feel both welcoming and cozy due to the unique placement of the 180 degree fireplace. A charming breakfast area offers a casual contrast to the more formal, intimate dining room, both thoughtfully positioned off the custom kitchen for ease and flow. The dining room is positioned with sliding doors to the breathtaking canyon views creating a truly special dining experience. The dual living room is framed by large glass, sliding doors that open seamlessly to a flat, grassy yard, resort-style pool, firepit, custom overhand deck and sweeping canyon/city views; ideal for entertaining or quiet evenings under the stars. In the west wing, two en-suite bedrooms sit parallel, ideal for siblings, with a nearby flex space that functions beautifully as a playroom, studio, or media lounge. Beyond, is a loft-style bonus area offering generous space for teens, in-laws, an office or visiting family, completing the home's highly functional and versatile layout. The loft features its own bathroom, outdoor deck and has both a living room and bedroom. With its rare combination of panoramic views, a spacious flat yard, and richly layered design, 2220 Banyan is a truly special offering in the hills - where form, function, and natural beauty meet.
