"e thing that's most visually distinctive may be the huge expanses of glass, but to us, what sets these apart is how their use and function is limited by the owners' lifestyle, and not the other way around," says BLDG Partners Principal Guy Penini. "e current environment blurred the lines between where we work and where we live, and these townhomes take that new reality and ask, 'What's next?' e sheer breadth of ways that owners have asked and answered that question in their spaces puts the creativity of Angelenos on full display." Situated where Hollywood meets Universal City—easily accessible to Studio City, Burbank and Holly wood—Thirty Four Fifty West includes two- and three-bedroom units priced from $975,000 to $1.3 million, with e Agency Development Group serving as the exclusive sales agent. Each single-family home features 1,904 to 2,396 square feet of living space high- lighted by Bosch appliances, quartz countertops and vanities, natural maple hardwood flooring, natural limestone finishes throughout the baths and custom cabinetry in the kitchens. e units are set beyond the community's private gates, with the street-level entrance comprised of a two- to four-car garage that also can be transformed into additional workspace. e double-height main floor features a flexible living space, office and kitchen, while the upstairs has a mezzanine loft featuring an open work area or library, and the fourth floor is dedicated to the sleeping quarters. Each loft includes a private yard and multiple balconies. Homeowners also can expect plenty of amenities, including valet parking and an outdoor living area ideal for enjoying cocktails and conversations around a fire table. Additional features include a garden and grill for intimate gatherings with friends, replete with a chef 's barbecue, communal dining table, bar seating and sofas, and a puppy park. "irty Four Fifty West is a built environ- ment that is both timeless, and altogether for this moment," says Matt Jacobs, also a principal at BLDG Partners. "Where we've all discovered that our work is flexible, so too should our living and working spaces be. ese homes enable quiet, contemplative solitude, just as much as they encourage collaborative creative spaces. It's also an owner's option: We think of an invisible dial on these spaces that owners can turn between live and work, and all the combinations in-between." Built to attract a diverse communit y of artists, writers, creators, movers and shakers, irt y Four Fi y West offers the opportunit y to create the optimal live-work space.
