WHAT MAKES THIS A BUNGALUX

Kyoto-inspired compound

• You may have noticed that we kinda like Japanese architecture. Inevitably whenever a Japanese-inspired house comes up it gets the Bungalux distinction.
• This one was designed by well-known architect Bob Ray Offenhauser and is located on Hartford, one of Beverly HIlls' best streets.
• We love the tennis court, pavilion, and living room ... and everything else about it too. The only thing missing is a pool.
