Detailed Introduction Of This Home
Here, along majestic South Beverly Glen Boulevard in Prime Little Holmby, is this walled and gated Traditional estate, magnificently restored with attention to and respect for its original detail. This truly beautiful home whispers quiet elegance at every turn. Timeless in feel, the radiant interior spaces, masterfully redone by DISC Interiors, are presented using a crisp, neutral color palette and are very easy to love. The floorplan has been updated to live like we do today with wide open spaces flowing easily to the outdoors. Tall ceilings, banks of French doors, rich, wide-planked oak floors and gleaming woodwork are peppered here and there by contemporary touches adding moments of modern flair.The gracious formal foyer opens to a large, formal living room warmed by a handsome fireplace. Flowing from the living room is a fabulous lounge. With its authentic 1930s-vintage bar, it's the perfect spot within which to whip up your signature cocktails and have a game of cards with family and friends. The superbly equipped kitchen is served "great-room-style" with plenty of social space to gather and dine in. There's a dream pantry plus a large, temperature-controlled 1000-bottle wine room. A cozy den/media room, a fifth bedroom and bath, a mud room/laundry room and a lovely powder room complete the first floor.Upstairs, all four bedrooms are large including the spa-like primary suite featuring a lounging area, two walk-in closets and a soothingly serene primary bath with its porcelain soaking tub, separate shower and dual vanities. Three additional family bedrooms are upstairs, as well.On over a third of an acre, the flat and stately backyard is an unusually large entertainer's dream, very private and surrounded by mature trees and towering hedges. Several brick patio spaces provide multiple areas for lounging and dining under the sun and stars and for the alfresco chef, there's even a built-in outdoor kitchen with a brick pizza oven and a BBQ. There's a wide grassy area for kids to romp around upon, an expansive and sparkling pool and spa and a vegetable garden. Perfect for a home office or for visiting guests, there is an accessory living unit and bath.Both the expansive and enclosed grassy front yard and the long, gated driveway offer plenty of additional kids' play space and plenty of off-street parking. There's also an over-sized two car garage.The location can't be beat, so close to Holmby Park, UCLA, Bel Air, Beverly Hills, Century City and Westwood Village and to all the shopping and dining found nearby. It's also located in the highly sought-after Warner Avenue school district.
