About This Home
As of July 2025Set on nearly an acre of manicured, private grounds in the coveted Chapman Woods neighborhood, 3639 E California Blvd is a Colonial Revival that surrounds you with timeless architecture and gorgeous outdoor spaces. The expansive, fully gated front yard is a lush expanse for games of catch, golden-hour gatherings, and relaxing under the shade trees. Inside, hardwood floors, extensive crown molding, and elegant wainscoting imbue the interiors with timeless grace. To the right of the foyer, a chandelier-crowned dining room awaits traditional Sunday evening dinners, and to the left, the bright, formal living room includes an alcove-style sitting area with room for a baby grand. The family room is lined with French doors that open to the backyard, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor flow for elevated entertaining. Nearby, the chef's kitchen is outfitted with top-tier amenities, including a Sub-Zero fridge, wine cooler, and double oven. For added convenience, a separate wok kitchen rests just around the corner. When it's time to recharge, the spacious primary suite offers a luxurious retreat whether you're reaching for a favorite read, slipping into the ensuite's marble soaking tub, or prepping for date night in the generous walk-in closet. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms are thoughtfully placed at opposite ends of the home for added privacy, and each includes its own ensuite bath with Toto toilets. Summer BBQs feel right at home in the private, spacious backyard, where there's an abundance of room for play and jubilant pool parties. The grounds also include a standalone 733 sq ft guest house complete with cathedral ceilings and a full kitchen. Whether used as a pool house, home office, or creative studio, this versatile space is ready to meet the moment. Some homes turn heads. Others stand the test of time. At 3639 E California Boulevard, you'll find both--elegance in every detail, and a sense of ease that makes you feel instantly at home.
