A newly completed architectural estate tucked along a quiet Brentwood cul-de-sac has just hit the market for $10,498,000, raising the bar with its elevated design and sculptural details.
Known as Villa Speranza, the 5,675-square-foot home was designed by interior architect Jae Omar, whose narrative-driven homes have attracted buyers like Zedd, Sean McVay, and Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner.
This latest offering, developed in partnership with JVE Development and listed by Smith & Berg Property Group at Compass, is more than just a showpiece.
It’s Omar’s first home to be released since losing The Dragon in the recent fires — a design-forward home widely covered in The Wall Street Journal and other industry outlets. It’s also a personal project that he describes as “our first step toward a brighter future.”
“There’s a softness, an empathy to Villa Speranza,” Omar said in a statement. “And this was no coincidence.” The name itself, which translates to way of hope, reflects the emotional foundation of the home and sets the tone for what unfolds inside.

Listing details

Before we dive into the home’s refined design, let’s take a look at the numbers.
Spec-wise, the newly completed home has 5 bedrooms, 5 full bathrooms, 1 half-bath, and 5,675 square feet of meticulously appointed living space.
Set in a quiet cul-de-sac in Brentwood, Los Angeles, the property also features a 2-car garage, full home automation system, surround sound, and a home theater.
Setting the tone from the entrance

From the moment you enter, Villa Speranza reads like a narrative in stone, wood, and plaster. Arched doorways, soft curves, and hand-applied wall finishes give the home a lived-in quality, as though it’s been part of the landscape for generations.
Sculptural details

The layout flows around a sculptural floating wood staircase, suspended in light and shadow. Bespoke cabinetry and warm-toned stonework throughout the home showcase Omar’s commitment to material integrity.
“Every detail here is authored,” said listing agent F. Ron Smith. “There’s a rare emotional quality to Jae’s work—homes that move you as much as they shelter you.”

Everyday function, elevated
At the center of the home is a double-island kitchen dressed in artisan finishes and outfitted with Thermador appliances. Framed by arched windows and grounded in earthy hues, the kitchen opens to a breakfast nook bathed in garden light.



Spaces to work, play, and entertain
Nearby, a softly lit dining room with a built-in wet bar creates an inviting space for entertaining, while a dedicated office and home theater cater to both work and leisure. Smart home automation, surround sound, and five en-suite bedrooms round out the interior offerings.


A primary suite with boutique vibes
The vaulted-ceiling primary suite offers a fireplace, a spa bath with dual shower and soaking tub, and a terrace that runs the full length of the suite. A boutique-style dressing room rounds out the suite’s hotel-like feel.



Garden-focused outdoor living
Like the home itself, the backyard is quietly luxurious — lush but restrained.
A covered outdoor kitchen and al fresco dining patio flow into a grassy lawn, pool, spa, and sunken fire pit lounge. Privacy hedges and intentional landscaping turn the space into a self-contained retreat.



A standout in the Westside Market
Set at 11916 Saltair Terrace in Brentwood, the gated property includes a cobblestone driveway and two-car garage, just minutes from neighborhood shops and the Pacific coastline. With over $10 million in asking price, it joins a growing field of thoughtfully designed, high-end homes that stand out in a tight luxury market.
“In the Westside’s discerning market, quality inventory remains king,” said co-listing agent David Berg. “Buyers get energized for standout properties like Villa Speranza.”
