About This Home

As of March 2022

Nestled in the hills of Studio City above Universal Studios, this peaceful 5 bed 5 bath Spanish-Mediterranean retreat sits quietly behind private gates in a cul-de-sac. Beyond the long greenery lined driveway is a stunning 15 foot arched grand entrance. Upon entering you’re greeted by a luxurious chandelier placed perfectly in the calming foyer. The open concept floor flows from the living room to kitchen, and offers glowing mountainous views. The kitchen is prepared for any chef; showcasing Viking appliances, a 6 burner stove with hood vent, abundant pantry space, breakfast bar, dishwasher, farm sink, and a skylight. Adjacent to the kitchen is a built in wet bar just off of the home theater. The living room with fireplace provides outdoor access, displaying brilliant views and crystal-clear skies. After exploring the rest of the first floor, you’ll uncover an office with outdoor access to the most undisturbed seating. A superb staircase brings you upstairs to a gym, and bedrooms galore! The master suite with a fireplace is excellently designed; with wall to wall windows and glass doors that welcome in the gorgeous views. The master bathroom is packed with magnificence, as it contains a dual sink vanity, spa tub, a large walk-in-closet, and skylight. The exterior is equally impressive as the interior, as it comes fully equipped with a salt-water pool, water fountain, firepit, outdoor barbecue under a terrace, private seating area, and breathtaking views!
