Benmore Modern Sanctuary
Tranquil oasis with a 40-foot waterfall, set on a sprawling acre of land, designed by the iconic A. Quincy Jones and brilliantly re-envisioned by Ome Dezin.

The soft morning sun filters through the trees as you wake up in your architectural marvel, the masterpiece originally birthed by A. Quincy Jones and brought to a modern zenith by Ome Dezin. You rise, leaving the comfort of your plush bedroom, with its perfect balance of mid-century aesthetics and contemporary design, drawing you into another day in your Los Angeles sanctuary.
You open the wide sliding doors and step out into your personal Eden. The soft chirping of birds greets you as you make your way through the verdant grounds. The scent of damp earth is lingering in the air from the rain last night, making everything feel refreshed and anew. The waterfall's mesmerizing cascade beckons you, its 40-foot rush a tranquil symphony that sets the tone for the day.
After a morning stroll through the lush gardens, you head to the kitchen, a paradise for culinary enthusiasts. The garden's vibrant hues shine through the windows, and you can't help but admire your La Cornue stove – a work of art and function combined. The gleam of Miele appliances catches your eye, and you decide to whip up a gourmet breakfast. Perhaps something steamed, given the luxury of having a Miele steam oven at your disposal.
After breakfast, perhaps you'll invite some friends over. The vastness of your oasis can accommodate both intimate and grand gatherings. You imagine the pool, shimmering under the midday sun, as friends and family lounge around, soaking up the California sun. Maybe a late afternoon barbecue or an alfresco lunch, given the scenery that your estate provides.
As the afternoon wanes, you retreat to the spa, the sauna beckoning for some relaxation. The day winds down as the shadows dance, and the estate transforms under the golden hue of the setting sun.
After dinner, perhaps taken outside amidst the tranquil sounds of the waterfall, you head downstairs to the lower level, where you could watch a movie or simply lounge and enjoy the peace of your abode. With night settling in, the dance of shadows becomes more pronounced, a gentle reminder of the harmony of nature and architecture in your home.
As you retreat to your bedroom, you can't help but feel gratitude. Owning this house isn't just about luxury; it's about experiencing art, nature, and unparalleled design every single day. As the modern amenities keep you grounded in the present, the timeless design touches your soul, ensuring every day here is not just lived, but cherished.
