The heavily renovated, 6,600 sq. ft. home of late actor Bob Saget appeared on the open market in L.A. this spring.
The 1960s modern begins with a set of modern gates — steel frame and what appear to be frosted glass panels — laying the groundwork for a design theme that gives the property a cohesive look. The house, which contains six bedrooms and seven baths, features exterior architecture that voices modern and Mediterranean influences. There are industrial and Japanese accents that foreshadow the design style used to express the interior living spaces.
A wood-framed front door opens to a foyer floored with earthy, desert-tone natural stone tile and, in an act of arresting liberation, opens to a great room with a two-story ceiling and a pair of upper-level clerestory windows. Oversized French doors, plank hardwood, and a stacked stone fireplace are additional details of this destination living area.
Shoji-inspired doors pop up throughout the home, including in the office and bedrooms; the master is a grand space that also features a vaulted ceiling, gas fireplace, and multiple sets of doors opening onto a large private veranda.
The property’s .3 acres of grounds are used beautifully, with a courtyard-like outdoor living area, a stretch of lawn, and a guest house all scattered across a very private lot.
Saget passed away in January.
