5879 South Le Doux Road

Behind the red door lies an unexpected Ladera Heights retreat - beautifully remodeled, completely single-level, and designed around the way Southern California was meant to be lived. Remodeled in 2017, this 4-bedroom, 3-bath residence combines warm contemporary design with exceptional indoor-outdoor living. Wide-plank oak hardwood floors flow through a dramatic open living space where soaring vaulted ceilings and four skylights fill the home with natural light. Expansive accordion doors open the living area to the backyard, allowing the indoors and outdoors to become one effortless entertaining space. At the heart of the home is a kitchen made for people who truly love to cook and gather. A substantial quartz island offers storage on both sides, while JennAir appliances include a six-burner range with pot filler, double-door refrigerator, dishwasher, wine refrigerator, dedicated wine storage, and an impressive three ovens, including convection. The private primary retreat features vaulted ceilings, direct backyard access, a generous walk-in closet, and a spa-inspired bath finished with quartz surfaces and marble flooring. A separate soaking tub, rainfall shower with handheld fixture, and linen storage complete the space. Outside is where this home becomes something truly special. The private edible garden is filled with peach, nectarine, plum, Meyer lemon, avocado, lime, blood orange, navel orange, strawberry guava, and mango trees, along with fragrant rosemary. Sprinkler and drip irrigation systems help maintain the lush landscape. Gather around the gas fire pit with built-in seating, cook beneath the pergola at the quartz-topped outdoor kitchen with BBQ, Green Egg, and dedicated gas plumbing, or enjoy the turf, play area, outdoor gas fireplace, and remarkable privacy. Additional features include central air and heat, two tankless water heaters, a dedicated laundry area, marble bathroom floors, and a semi-circular driveway leading to a welcoming front porch. Ideally situated in coveted Ladera Heights, the home offers convenient access to Culver City, Playa Vista, Westfield Culver City, LAX, LMU, Marina del Rey, SoFi Stadium, Intuit Dome, YouTube Theater, and the best of the Westside and Inglewood. Beautifully considered from the skylights above to the garden outside, this is a home designed not simply to be seen, but to be lived in. Some homes are impressive. This one is unforgettable.
