Pass through the gate and step into your private sanctuary. Romantic French Normandy style corner lot home with saltwater swimming pool, built in the roaring 1920’s; prominent palladium window, tall ceilings and a gable roof, reminiscent of homes found in the European countryside. The magnificent living room features a stone fireplace, 10’ ceilings, large windows, and French doors that bring an abundance of light, opening to a private entertainer’s pool area surrounded by ivy clad walls and mature hedges that ensure privacy. The kitchen is replete with dark wood cabinets, marble countertops, mosaic tile backsplash, Viking stove, Subzero refrigerator, ASKO SS dishwasher and adjacent pantry room w/ laundry. Host a dinner party in the large dining room overlooking a beautiful Lily Magnolia tree, or step through French doors opening to the family/media room for a movie with family or friends. Completing downstairs is a bedroom/office with built-in bookcases, lead-glass windows and an elegant half bath finished in Carrera marble. Upstairs, a long hallway offers gallery-style wall space leading to two spacious bedrooms with serene views & ample closet space. The beautifully updated bathroom at the end of the hall maintains classic character with period fixtures and a deep soaking tub. Oh, the backyard! Lush & private, an abundance of flowers and greenery surrounds the decking, BBQ area, saltwater pool w/ waterfall and Pentair ScreenLogic controls. A perfect place to relax and entertain. There is a two-car garage (with built-in cabinets) that currently holds one vehicle, there is additional parking for two more cars just beyond the power gate. The current guest house configuration (without permit) is built using one of the two garage spaces; the seller will include LA City permit ready to issue plans to convert the entire garage into an ADU w/ approximately 433 sqft. Meticulously maintained; upgrades include copper plumbing, 200-amp electric panel & central heating.
