About This Home

As of February 2015

Welcome home to this sophisticated and elegant property that looks like it's taken from a page of Architectural Digest. The home is perfectly located on a quiet tree-lined street in the charming enclave of Studio City known as "The Grove". Enjoy preparing meals for friends and family in the recently remodeled gourmet kitchen complete with top-of-the-line appliances, custom tile work and dining alcove. Thoughtfully designed for modern living, the kitchen opens up to the informal family room and larger dining area. After a hard day, unwind with a glass of wine on the charming patio or curl up with a good book by the cozy living room fireplace. The romantic master suite also features a private patio as well as another fireplace. Play ball in the grassy back yard and try not to get caught throwing water balloons from the sturdy tree-house. Not only can you save tuition money by sending the kids to Carpenter Charter, but you can stroll to Studio City's finest shopping, sushi, and nightlife.
