About This Home

As of September 2020

Show and sell this charming single-level Traditional gem in a highly sought-after area of Studio City. Brimming with curb appeal, this sun-filled home features an open floor plan accented by voluminous ceilings, wood floors, French doors and windows, and recessed lights. A spacious living room sets the stage upon entry and embraces a corner fireplace, additional sitting area, and French doors opening onto an al-fresco dining patio. The dramatic family room, highlighted by skylights and a vaulted wood-beamed ceiling, flows into the dining area showcasing a custom curved fireplace and built-in buffet, and seamlessly melds the indoors with the outdoors. Adjoining these areas is the remodeled galley-style kitchen that consists of granite counters, stainless-steel appliances, and pantry. The main suite offers a recently remodeled bath with Caesarstone countertops and dual vanities overlooking the pool, a walk-in closet, and a generously sized separate sitting room ideal as an office or nursery. The ultra-private backyard includes a fenced pebble-finished pool framed by tall lush trees, a spa, a deck for entertaining, as well as a converted rear garage perfect as a gym or home office. Additional upgrades consist of a newer air conditioner, sewer line, and security system.
