5009 Willowcrest Avenue

Moments from the buzz of studios and the conviviality of the shops and cafes of Toluca Lake and the NoHo Arts District sits the serene enclave of Toluca Woods. Here, on a quiet, tree-lined street in the heart of this leafy, breezy hamlet, find this fenced and gated 1930s-traditional home with a fully permitted ADU w/separate address. Enter the property beneath a towering Sycamore to find a verdant lawn framed by mature hedging and steps leading up to an East Coast-evoking mud room-style entry. Continue into a sun-drenched living room adorned with decorative beams and a red brick fireplace. Useful built-ins and handsome stained-glass windows abound in the formal dining room. Marrying old world charm with modern convenience, the kitchen has been recently updated with stone slab counters and stainless appliances while retaining another gorgeous stained-glass window from yesteryear. The option to dine al-fresco is ever apparent with French doors leading from the kitchen directly to a sizable, sunny patio. Back inside, the primary bedroom boasts an ensuite flex space that easily functions as an office, home gym, massive walk-in closet, or a 4th bedroom/nursery. Down the center hall, two additional well-sized bedrooms flank a hall bathroom with a deep soaking shower-tub combo, while through a hall closet discover a cavernous wood-paneled California basement offering copious storage space. At the rear of the residence lies a massive family room opening up to a multitude of outdoor entertaining spaces with string lights and a gas BBQ hookup -- an ideal setup for indoor-outdoor living. Beyond the rear terrace sits the newer ADU, completed in 2022 with permits and boasting a full kitchen with high-end appliances. With hardwood floors throughout, central HVAC, and tankless water heaters, this spacious abode is truly turnkey and ready for its next owner.
