Residenza Unifamiliare A Los Angeles

Sited on a gentle knoll on the coveted 400 block of Prime Little Holmby’s Loring Avenue, this refined Traditional residence is beautifully set back from the street, framed by a lush, mature landscape and up a sweeping drive. Its superior curb appeal is punctuated by a delightful front porch, the perfect spot from which to enjoy views across this maturely wooded neighborhood. Pride of ownership is quite evident throughout this impeccably maintained property. The formal foyer opens to a very functional center hall floorplan. Its sun-bathed interior spaces are warm, spacious, comfortable and welcoming at every turn with polished traditional architectural characteristics abounding most everywhere. Wood floors, chair railing, wainscoting, crown moldings and French doors and windows all harmonize to create a casually elegant, substantial feel. There’s wonderful entertaining flow room-to-room and to the glorious outdoors. The grand living room, with its charming fireplace and bay window and the lovely formal dining room are designed for gracious entertaining. Each room takes in lovely views across the neighborhood. The sunny cook’s kitchen is replete with custom built-ins and top-tier appliances and features a center island, an informal dining area and treetop vistas. The adjacent laundry/utility room offers direct access from the garage. A sixth bedroom and bath are located in this wing as well, perfect for guests or for a housekeeper. The large family room, with its fireplace and fabulous wet-bar, opens easily out to the backyard. Adjacent is a very cozy den, perfect as a study or office with its tall barrel-like beamed ceiling and corner fireplace. A tasteful powder room completes the main level. There are six bedrooms total, five of them upstairs including a primary retreat complete with a spa-like bath featuring a relaxing spa tub, a separate oversized shower, expansive vanity areas and both a walk-in closet and banks of wardrobe-style closets as well. The unusually expansive, truly private dream backyard offers the opportunity for many moments of fine, al fresco entertaining. There are brick-clad patio spaces, a trellised pergola, several lounging and sunning areas, a sparkling swimmer’s pool and a grassy area. The backyard also features a separate Pool House, complete with a kitchen, a bath and a living area with yet another fireplace. These fantastic outdoor spaces are ideal spots within which to lounge, swim, relax and dine under the Southern California sun and stars. All this in the much-desired Warner Avenue Elementary School district and so close to UCLA, Holmby Park, Westwood Village, Century City and Beverly Hills and all the fine shopping and dining each area offers. Although the garage may have been originally designed to fit two cars, it may not fit two cars of modern-day size.
