Linda Flora is a big modern house that seems to have skipped the Hollywood party-house phase entirely. Set above Brentwood, the five-bedroom estate gives you the glass, scale, infinity pool and rooftop living you’d expect from a major contemporary, but the setting feels more residential and private than nightlife-driven. That’s exactly why we like it. This is the modern house for someone who wants to wake up in the hills, spend an afternoon by the infinity pool, head to the Getty or Brentwood for a few hours, and come home without feeling like they rented a nightclub with bedrooms. The house still knows how to entertain—there’s a theater and plenty of outdoor space—but its personality feels calmer. Linda Flora is proof that a large Los Angeles modern can be dramatic without being loud.
