Description

Pass through the gate and step into your private walled sanctuary. Romantic French Normandy style corner lot home with saltwater swimming pool, an architectural gem 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 10’ ceilings, large windows, and French doors that open to a pool area surrounded by ivy clad walls and mature hedges ensuring privacy. The kitchen features dark wood cabinets, marble countertops, mosaic tile backsplash, Viking stove, Subzero refrigerator, ASKO SS dishwasher and an adjacent pantry room w/ laundry. Solid hardwood walnut floors are present throughout this home. Host a dinner party in the large dining room overlooking a beautiful Lily Magnolia tree, or step through French doors to the TV room that could also double as a 4th bedroom. Bedroom #3 has built-in bookcases, lead-glass windows and an adjacent, elegant ¾ bath finished in Carrera marble. Upstairs, a long hallway offers gallery-style wall space leading to two bedrooms with serene views & ample closet space. The beautifully updated bathroom at the end of the hall maintains classic character with period fixtures, a new vanity plus 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 tranquil place to relax or entertain. The two-car gated driveway leads to the garage which has been finished with built-in cabinets and is currently used as an artist’s studio: the upstairs offers a non-permitted mother-in-law suite. Meticulously maintained; upgrades include a NEW 5 ton HVAC system, bolted and upgraded foundation, copper plumbing and a 200-amp electric panel. Additional improvements include Wi-Fi controlled lighting, Leviton Maestro dimmer switches, tankless water heater, illuminated crawl space & an outdoor gardening station. This Hollywood Hills neighborhood features underground utilities, sidewalks, and classic architecture. A 20-minute walk to Runyon Canyon’s Mullholland gate and less than a mile from Valley View Elementary School. You’ll appreciate being able to walk to Universal Studios and be downtown in under 30 minutes.
