5 bedroom house for sale

Overview

The open connected floor plan with tray and barrel ceilings, hand-carved wood and stone fireplaces, custom cabinetry, artwork niches and gorgeous stained and leaded glass doors provide a curated blend of architectural details that convey a sophisticated style

Mesmerizing views surround every inch of this elegant custom Mediterranean Hollywood Hills home with commanding two way views of both the L.A. basin and the San Fernando Valley. Once owned by Theodore Geisel, aka Dr. Seuss, it's no wonder the legendary children's author gained inspiration from this magical setting among the surrounding exotic shrubs and succulents of the Southern California chaparral. Virtually every window, balcony and veranda capture a variety of sweeping vistas of the downtown skyline, the Lake Hollywood Reservoir, Palos Verdes Estates, Universal Studios and the Santa Monica and San Gabriel Mountains that embrace the San Fernando Valley below. Inside, grand interior spaces seamlessly flow from room to room with effortless access to inviting outdoor terraces and balconies designed by its current owner for both lavish entertaining and comfortable day to day and work from home living. The open connected floor plan with tray and barrel ceilings, hand-carved wood and stone fireplaces, custom cabinetry, artwork niches and gorgeous stained and leaded glass doors provide a curated blend of architectural details that convey a sophisticated style. The main level features an entry foyer, formal living and dining rooms plus an adjacent family room with counter that overlooks the gourmet center island kitchen with stone counters and top of the line appliances. Two bedrooms and an office also reside on the main level while a grand stair case leads to the upper level library/office, nursery/gym plus the luxurious primary retreat that enjoys splendid painted skies from dawn to dusk. The generous walk in closet, spa like bathroom and private balcony that survey the pool and terraced hillside orchard with 25 specimen fruit trees whisper of a five star resort in Tuscany. An elevator provides access to all three floors, including the lower level service quarters with its own private entrance. The attached two car garage is approached from the stone driveway behind an automatic security gate at the end of a street on top of the hill. Lushly landscaped and appointed with trickling fountains and potted plants, this one of a kind property offers an opportunity of a lifetime to own an enchanting, romantic and inspiring home - minutes from most major studios, Hollywood, downtown and the Burbank Airport ~ just steps to miles of hiking trails and thousands of acres of nature.
