More Insights

Built in 1964 (61 years old).
Condition: This property, though built in 1964, has clearly undergone an extensive, high-end renovation, likely within the last five years, bringing it to current luxury standards. The description highlights an 'elevated design' with a 'refined material palette' including polished cement and warm wood, which is evident throughout the living spaces. The kitchen features custom cabinetry, modern stainless steel appliances (including a wine fridge), and contemporary lighting, all appearing virtually new and in excellent condition. While no direct bathroom images are provided, the description of a 'dramatic cement accent bathroom' in the primary suite suggests a similarly modern and high-quality renovation. Flooring consists of polished concrete in main areas and clean carpeting in bedrooms, both in pristine condition. All visible fixtures and finishes are contemporary and well-maintained, indicating no deferred maintenance. The overall aesthetic and quality of the renovation align perfectly with the 'excellent' criteria for a recently and extensively updated property.

About this home

This listing features 2220 Banyan Dr as a standalone offering. It may also be purchased in conjunction with the adjacent residence at 2230 Banyan Dr for an additional cost of $3,495,000. 2220 Banyan Drive is a 5-bedroom, 4.5-bathroom residence spanning 4,107 square feet, seamlessly blending elevated design with everyday livability. Set behind a lush, landscaped entry courtyard with a peaceful fountain and generous grassy lawn, the home immediately sets a tone of serenity and sophistication. Through double front doors, a sun-drenched sitting room introduces the home's refined material palette; a striking mix of polished cement and warm wood that adds texture, depth, and architectural character throughout. To the right, sets a private room perfect for your at home work space or guest quarters. Adjacent is the spacious primary suite, where awe-inspiring canyon and city vistas greet you each morning. Anchored by a sleek fireplace, the primary bedroom also features a custom closet and a dramatic cement accent bathroom, creating a retreat that feels both luxurious and grounded. The heart of the home unfolds around expansive living areas that feel both welcoming and cozy due to the unique placement of the 180 degree fireplace. A charming breakfast area offers a casual contrast to the more formal, intimate dining room, both thoughtfully positioned off the custom kitchen for ease and flow. The dining room is positioned with sliding doors to the breathtaking canyon views creating a truly special dining experience. The dual living room is framed by large glass, sliding doors that open seamlessly to a flat, grassy yard, resort-style pool, custom overhand deck and sweeping canyon/city views; ideal for entertaining or quiet evenings under the stars. In the west wing, two en-suite bedrooms sit parallel, ideal for siblings, with a nearby flex space that functions beautifully as a playroom, studio, or media lounge. Beyond, is a loft-style bonus area offering generous space for teens, in-laws, or visiting family, completing the home's highly functional and versatile layout. The loft features its own bathroom, outdoor deck and has both a living room and bedroom. Outside, enjoy a large grassy lawn, with multiple seating areas that surround a fire pit, tranquil waterfall, pool and spa, while an elevated deck offers front-row seats to the sunrise over the mountains. With its rare combination of panoramic views, a spacious flat yard, and richly layered design, 2220 Banyan is a truly special offering in the hills - where form, function, and natural beauty meet.
