Description

Nestled south of the Boulevard on a corner lot this multi-level estate sitting on over half an acre of land offers a rare combination of privacy, charm, recreation, and resort-style living. Set on expansive, compound-like grounds, this is far more than a home—it is a private world unto itself.The single-story smart home blends timeless character with modern luxury. Rich hardwood floors, custom millwork, plantation shutters, vaulted ceilings, and multiple fireplaces create warmth and sophistication throughout. Formal living and dining rooms provide elegant entertaining spaces, while the expansive family room features soaring ceilings, built-ins, a fireplace, and wet bar. The bright chef's kitchen offers a Sub-Zero refrigerator, pantry, breakfast nook, and abundant storage. The luxurious primary suite has been completely remodeled and transformed into a true retreat, featuring vaulted ceilings, a fireplace, generous walk-in closet, and a stunning spa-inspired bathroom complete with premium finishes and a private steam room. In addition to three bedrooms, the home includes a flexible bonus room ideal as a guest room, nursery, home office, gym, playroom, or creative studio. Property offers remarkable outdoor lifestyle - enjoying a morning swim, an afternoon tennis match on the private court, a quiet walk through the grounds, or an evening under the stars, every inch of the property has been designed to be experienced. Children and guests alike will delight in the whimsical, park-like setting, where hide-and-seek adventures, outdoor gatherings, and peaceful moments become part of everyday life.Perched atop the hillside sits a charming cottage-style greenhouse retreat. Complete with power, water, air conditioning, and overlooking the estate below, this unique structure offers endless possibilities as a pilates studio, executive office, artist's atelier, writer's retreat, or private escape. Additional amenities include a sparkling tiled pool and spa, gazebo, EV charging hookup, updated systems, and exceptional privacy rarely found in such a central location. Winding pathways, mature trees, hidden nooks, storybook corners, and lush greenery create a setting that feels more like a boutique Napa retreat than a traditional Los Angeles residence. The property invites exploration and discovery, offering endless opportunities to relax, play, entertain, and reconnect with nature. A rare legacy property— a must see to truly appreciate its beauty!
