2004 La Brea Terrace

PRIVACY. Set on over one-half acre. Privately accessed and exceptionally secluded, an acquisition of this pedigree is exceedingly uncommon. A traditional home with hallmark Craftsman detailing, offering four bedrooms, four-and-a-half baths, a pool, a pool/guesthouse, and seldom-found double flat lawns that unfold into a true park-like estate. The main level is architectural and composed: a double-seated living room arranged for paired conversations, a dining room equally suited to long winter dinners or ordinary Tuesdays, and a media room that favors books and thought over spectacle. But you will know you are home the moment you enter the kitchen. It is a gathering place. People linger here. They cook together. They stay. Wrap-around French doors and windows do more than frame the yards, pool, guesthouse, and basketball hoop, they dissolve into them. The pool/guesthouse, built with the same care as the main residence, is positioned to offer the flexible multi-function living you seek. Upstairs, the en-suite primary includes city views, a walk-in closet, and an adjacent sitting room ideal for an office or exercise space. Two additional en-suite bedrooms complete the level. There is a moment on the private balcony, overlooking the estate, when the search ends. Not because this home competes with others, but because it removes the need to compare. If you have been seriously considering other properties, be prepared to change your plans.
