Description

Classic California living in an enclave of well-established residences. This timeless home showcases the artistry, design, and craftsmanship of a bygone era. From the manicured landscaping to the panoramic picture window and color-saturated stained glass panels of the Arts & Crafts front door, every detail captivates. A formal entry welcomes you in and invites you to pause. Your eyes are drawn to the handcrafted herringbone brick fireplace framed by glass sidelights. You immediately experience the difference in the details — rich inlaid hardwood floors, architectural corbels, solid wood doors, classic moldings, and spectacular fireplaces reflect enduring quality. The expansive chef’s kitchen blends modern luxury with vintage charm, appointed with custom-built sage soft-close cabinetry, gleaming carrera quartz countertops, beveled subway tile backsplash, new stainless dishwasher and French-door refrigerator, and an abundance of storage. The coveted butler’s pantry—ideal for entertaining—includes a wine and champagne refrigerator, open wood shelving, prep sink, and designer fixtures make this space unforgettable. A sprawling floor plan flows to inviting rooms and gathering spaces, including a cozy den with built-in shelving and skylight — perfect for quiet moments, new memories, and relaxed living. Two generously sized bedroom suites provide flexibility for multi-generational living: one with a private balcony, the other with ensuite bath and French doors opening to a serene backyard retreat. Enjoy evenings under the covered cabana, with screens and curtains for comfort and privacy, surrounded by professional landscaping and warm lighting creating ambiance. A charming backyard gazebo is a sweet spot to use your imagination: Sunrise yoga stretches, an artist's atelier, a play space, poker, whiskey & cigars, afternoon tea, or a hammock, a good book and afternoon naps. Resting on an expansive 9,000+ sq ft corner lot, the home is framed by elegant wrought-iron fencing and an arched entry gate. The oversized garage includes a separate room—perfect as a home office or creative studio. A thoughtfully placed utility/mudroom with laundry hookups off of the kitchen enhances everyday convenience. A true character home in the heart of the Valley — blending craftsmanship, comfort, and classic California elegance. Convenient to Burbank Studios, Lake Balboa, the Arts District, NoHo haunts, and iconic dining at Norms Diner — “Where life happens.” Welcome Home.

    "We moved to this neighborhood as a predominate work-from-home location. It’s a good community with lots of lot space where even in heavy commuter traffic you can get to the west side in ~45 mins. This feels especially satisfying compared to further out communities that people go for similar space but require 1-1.5 hour commutes each way."

There’s a number of young families that have come into the area in the past couple years and there’s good above average interaction and playtime amongst them, compared to other areas of Los Angeles from experience."
