Fully walled/ enclosed, this romantic French Normandy style corner lot home has a saltwater swimming pool and separate guest quarters; it’s an architectural gem built in the 1920’s back when Artisans built homes out of original growth redwood timber. A serene garden wrapped in ivy-clad walls, where lush greenery meets the gentle shimmer of a private saltwater pool and sunlit deck, it’s an oasis of privacy in the middle of all that LA offers. Classic features include the original 1926 palladium window, tall ceilings and a gable roofline. Solid hardwood walnut floors throughout. The living room has soaring ceiling and offers French doors to the pool area. The open concept layout connects this room to a formal dining room and eat-in-kitchen which features dark wood cabinets, marble countertops, mosaic tile backsplash, Viking stove & hood plus a Subzero refrigerator with adjacent laundry room with extra cabinets. French doors lead to the TV room that can also double as a 4th bedroom. A Carrera marble ¾ bath is next to the downstairs bedroom featuring built-in bookcases, lead-glass windows and a view to the pool. Upstairs, a long hallway offers gallery-style wall space leading to two bedrooms with serene views & ample closet space. A full bathroom with soaking tub and period fixtures completes this lovely space. 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. Upgrades include a NEW 5-ton HVAC system, bolted and upgraded foundation, copper plumbing and a 200-amp electric panel. Modern conveniences include Wi-Fi controlled lighting, Leviton Maestro dimmer switches, tankless water heater, illuminated crawl space, and a newer pool system controlled via the Pentair Screen Logic mobile app. This popular and coveted Hollywood Hills neighborhood features underground utilities, sidewalks, and classic architecture. You’ll appreciate being able to walk to Runyon Canyon’s Mullholland gate and to Universal Studios. This home is less than a mile from the highly rated Valley View Elementary School and DTLA is less than a 30-minute drive.
