Tucked into the historic hills of Twin Lakes, this newer-construction home is anything but cookie-cutter. Bursting with personality, light, and soul, it offers vibrant design, thoughtful functionality, and mountain serenity across three engaging levels. Originally established in the 1920s as a resort escape, Twin Lakes still feels like a hidden hillside village just minutes from the 118 and with Deerlake Ranch’s $2M+ homes nearby, the secret is starting to slip. Designed by celebrated SoCal architect Rene Mendoza, the home offers 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, with each bedroom featuring an en-suite layout and walk-in closet a luxury rarely seen at this price point. The entry level includes a standard two-car garage, a flexible suite currently set up as an office/game room, and a dedicated laundry area plus bonus closet space for all the gear modern life demands. Whether you use this lower level for guests, in-laws, focused work, or pure fun, it’s separated just enough to give you privacy and peace. The main level kitchen is a surprise in the best way: its wraparound cabinetry spans two full walls, creating a sleek, functional cooking environment that nearly hides in plain sight and yes, it includes a cleverly placed built-in TV for those times when you just can’t miss your show. Newer appliances, generous counter space, and a breakfast bar positioned by the window offer the perfect spot for morning coffee or evening wine with a view. This space flows directly into the dining area and the recently renovated powder room with updated cabinetry and quartz counters. The living room is a showpiece, with double-height ceilings, oversized windows flooding the space with natural light, and a gas fireplace anchoring cozy winter nights. Art lovers and entertainers alike will feel right at home here. French doors lead to a lush, private backyard with a custom-built covered patio a shaded outdoor retreat that’s equally suited for quiet afternoons or lively weekend gatherings. Upstairs, the primary suite is rich with color, life, and views easily offering the best mountain panorama in the home. The spa-like bath includes a jetted soaking tub, dual vanities, and calming custom finishes designed for end-of-day restoration. What sets this home even further apart is its commitment to energy independence and sustainability. With solar panels and a whole-home battery backup system (plus new energy efficient windows throughout), you get more than just lower energy bills you gain peace of mind, security, and freedom from the little anxieties (like “did I leave that light on?”). This system helps keep you powered through outages and dialed in with clean, efficient living every day. And here’s the rare bonus: the house next door also designed by Mendoza and developed by the same owner is available too. Whether you’re thinking multigenerational living, live/work compound, or just want room to grow, this is your chance to own a pair of truly one-of-a-kind homes in one of L.A.’s most under-the-radar hillside neighborhoods.
