Designed by Youssef H. Amin, AIA, and formerly owned by a National Geographic photographer, this home features striking modern architecture with soaring ceilings and gallery-style spaces.
For a 5,500-square-foot estate with five bedrooms, the two-car garage may be considered undersized for high-end buyers with multiple vehicles or staff.
While the lot is nearly 30,000 square feet, the steep canyon terrain likely limits usable flat land to the deck areas, which may deter buyers seeking traditional yard space.
