Property Description

Prime Westwood's prestigious Little Holmby is home to this impeccably maintained two-story Traditional residence. It's a timeless expression of grace, refinement, and architectural integrity. Meticulously updated with extraordinary sensitivity to its original 1940s design, this home beautifully showcases its distinctive character while incorporating updates designed for today's modern living. Rich in understated sophistication, the interiors are filled with an abundance of natural light and subtle Art Deco Moderne influences. There are smooth curved, rounded walls, glass block accents and exceptional bespoke built-ins thoughtfully crafted to mirror the home's architectural lines. This added character affords warmth at every turn. Window seats framed by custom display shelving create intimate moments throughout the residence, adding charm and artistry to the living spaces. A welcoming formal entry hall, whispering quiet elegance, centers on a lovely staircase and a striking pendant chandelier. The floorplan offers generously scaled public rooms which include a stately living room with a fireplace, a formal dining room and an inviting family room with a corner fireplace. These spaces flow together easily for both gracious entertaining and relaxed daily living. The beautifully appointed, tastefully updated cook's kitchen features top-tier appliances, custom cabinetry with numerous, functional built-ins and large informal dining area. There's also a butler's pantry. An ensuite guest bedroom and a powder room complete the main level. A spacious lower-level retreat with a full wet bar and expansive windows offers exceptional flexibility; it could be used as a media room, as a library, as a home-office or as a recreation space. Upstairs, find three large bedrooms including the serene primary suite, a luxurious private retreat complete with a sitting area, a spacious spa-inspired bathroom with dual dressing areas, multiple closets, a soaking tub, a separate shower and dual vanities. French doors open here to a tranquil sundeck overlooking the lushly landscaped grounds. There are two lovely additional bedrooms upstairs sharing a bath. The expansive, pastoral backyard evokes feelings of calm tranquility and features a sweeping grassy area, mature, manicured landscaping and trees, an expansive patio space and a covered brick-clad outdoor lounging pavilion. The backyard offers idyllic moments designed for elegant al fresco entertaining as well as for quieter times under the sun and stars. All this in the much-desired Warner Avenue Elementary School district and in close proximity to UCLA, Holmby Park, Westwood Village, Century City and Beverly Hills and all the fine shopping and dining each area offers.
