Ernie Carswell presents
Located in Outpost Estates, this residential spread is nestled near Runyon Canyon Park. Only a 4-minute drive from Hollywood Boulevard, Graumann's Chinese Theater, and Dolby Center, or 3 minutes from Mulholland Drive above. This surrounding is very serene - a perfect abode for those who work from home. The property sits on a half-acre, up a long driveway above the street. Four cars are easily parked at top of the drive and in the garage, which has an Electric Vehicle charger in the garage. The house is adorned with traditional wrought iron, Talavera, and Saltillo tiles plus richly toned hardwood floors. As much a traditional Spanish, it also has a modern sensibility. The ceilings are 9' or higher in most areas with sloping wood beams. Through a speak-easy front door, the entrance has a large coat closet and access to the garage. You enter through an arch into the extensive living room, complete with wood beams, recessed lights, and a large working lava-stone fireplace. Two French doors open to the front patio with a large hot tub for six and an area for sunning or outdoor dining. Stylish Fuse Lighting fixtures adorn the entrance, living room, and dining room. Original sconces have been refurbished with alabaster-style glass. The connecting dining room has huge windows with wonderful sweeping canyon views. Adjacent is a beautiful chef's kitchen with custom cabinets and Saltillo tile floors. Top-of-line Monogram appliances include a 48" gas/electric/convection oven range, with a powerful hood and a pot filler faucet. 23' linear feet of countertops include a built-in desk.
The kitchen is the soul of the home. A large island has seating for four. A Monogram dishwasher and beverage refrigerator sit under Cosentino Dekton stone countertops. Nearby is a large pantry. French doors open to an outdoor dining pergola, with Key West lighting, canyon views & lush vegetation. There are 4 bedrooms and 3 baths. The primary bedroom occupies the 2nd floor, with a large walk-in closet and bathroom featuring gorgeous Neptune tile, glass shower doors, and custom cabinetry. The suite feels like a treehouse, with a large magnolia tree flowering on one side, and canyon views on the other. The second bedroom is warm & light-filled. It can also be used as a television/media room or the perfect nursery, with a large closet. The third bedroom is spacious with a door to the outside and a large closet. The fourth bedroom could also serve as a home office or nanny's room, with a private entrance and ensuite bathroom. The house has a Spanish Colonial feel. Beautiful new interior design by acclaimed Woodson & Rummerfield's House of Design. It also has provenance and was home to a War Hero, a French Legion of Honor recipient, and a noted dance instructor, who taught many Hollywood stars how to dance. A fitting history for a residence that exudes such warmth and charm.
