(818) 482-2253 - Perched above Studio City with views of the hills and city lights, this mid-century gem is made for both everyday living and entertaining. A classic board-and-batten facade with stone accents, a generous brick-paver motor court, and mature, manicured landscaping set the tone. Carved wood double doors with leaded-glass inserts open to a formal entryway and a sunlit, open floor plan.Just off the entry, the elegant dining room has a large picture window overlooking the front garden and a gold drum chandelier. The formal living room is anchored by a dramatic floor-to-ceiling natural stone decorative fireplace, framed from the entry by a turned-wood spindle pass-through. Wall-to-wall glass doors with white plantation shutters and leaded-diamond transoms open to a charming brick veranda. Beneath a white lattice pergola, the covered veranda runs along the back of the home and flows onto a flagstone patio. Succulents and mature pines and cypress surround the patio, with rolling hillside views beyond. Whether it's morning coffee, al fresco dining, or an evening gathering, this is a setting made for lingering. The adjacent family room is the heart of the home, with the shared stone fireplace, a wall of built-in bookshelves and cabinetry, and a convenient wet bar tucked into its own alcove. Sliding glass doors open to the veranda for indoor-outdoor living. The cheerful eat-in kitchen offers abundant counter and cabinet space, including a wall of pantry storage and a built-in desk. It features a gas cooktop on a peninsula beneath a charming vintage hood, a built-in wall oven, stainless steel refrigerator and dishwasher, and a sunny breakfast area with a large window and pendant light. It has direct access to the laundry and a spacious two-car garage. New wide-plank wood-look flooring and fresh interior paint run throughout the main living areas and bedrooms, and plantation shutters frame the windows. Two large, bright guest bedrooms, each with generous closet space, share a Jack-and-Jill bath with double sinks. One has a large picture window overlooking the front garden, with hillside views beyond. At the far end of the home, the primary suite is a private retreat. Glass doors open directly to the veranda and garden, and the suite includes extensive closet space, a vanity/dressing room with a built-in makeup counter and mirror, and a spacious ensuite bath. The bath has a dual-sink tiled vanity, a separate glass-enclosed shower, and a sunken tub beneath a large frosted-glass window that fills the room with soft natural light. Just minutes from the shops and restaurants of Studio City, and close to hiking trails and recreation areas, this home pairs classic mid-century character with a location that's hard to beat.
