Zen, on Curson.

Behind a hedged courtyard on one of the Melrose Arts District's quieter blocks, a 2018 contemporary residence opens around a floating staircase that doubles as a sculpture. Soaring ceilings, gallery-scale walls, and a dramatic linear fireplace anchor the great room.

Retractable glass disappears entirely. The kitchen, with its Wolf appliances, custom walnut cabinetry, and a sculptural stone island, flows without seam onto a pool deck and the home's private wellness compound. Pool and spa, sauna, cold plunge, and a private gym sit inside a thoughtfully landscaped courtyard.

The primary suite is a quiet floor unto itself: a private balcony, a freestanding soaking tub framed by a wall of glass, a walk-in rain shower, and a boutique-style closet finished in oak. Each additional en-suite bedroom carries the same restraint.

At the top of the home, a rooftop deck with a built-in grill, bar, and fire pit looks across the city. Inside, every system, lighting, climate, audio, security, runs through a Control4 backbone. A residence designed for both stillness and entertaining, finished to the last quiet detail.
