2533 Benedict Canyon Drive

Hidden from the street behind gates and towering 50-foot privacy hedges, this pristinely updated storybook traditional haven promises a charm-filled lifestyle amidst peace and serenity, with three bedrooms + den. A vast circular motor court wraps around the grassy front lawn and leads to the home's exposed-brick entry, its reddish hue complemented by the freshly painted creamy white facade. Inside, fantastic newly refinished dark hardwood floors impressively shine, reflecting natural sunlight welcomed by large picture windows. A bank of French doors lines the formal living room, with its elegant fireplace and dry bar/tasting area. The country kitchen includes a butcher-block island with wine refrigeration, comfy breakfast nook, open shelving, copious cabinetry, farm sink, period tin ceiling, and state-of-the-art stainless-steel appliances. Restored original wainscoting in the adjacent formal dining room adds classic prestige to intimate dinner parties. The primary wing, a true prize of the home, is equipped with a double-door entry, French doors to the backyard, fireplace, built-ins, and a versatile antechamber with a built-in desk, perfect as a television room, office, lounge, nursery, and more. The en-suite spa-inspired bath is complete with radiant floor heating, a glass-enclosed shower and separate oversized tub, subway tile wraparound, and massive department-store-like changing wardrobe with custom organizers, dresser island, makeup desk, and a safe for securing valuables. The guest bedroom is also warm and inviting and features a third fireplace and bath with shower. Outside, dine al-fresco and converse with friends and family surrounded by lush plant life. Or, retreat past terraced rose gardens for calm reflection from a trellis-covered patio, perched above the quaint grounds with delightful views of various treetops and natural ridge line. A detached guest house includes a wet bar, side-by-side laundry, doggy door, and three-quarter bath. In addition to the abundance of storage and deep closets found throughout the home, there is also a bonus storage shed. Parking is for eight to ten vehicles plus a two-car garage. Lovingly updated with modern finishes and gorgeous garden views from every room, this beautiful hidden jewel is move-in-ready and awaits its next chapter. Discover why this ideal location is dubbed Celebrity Row, cherished and private yet just moments to Rodeo Drive and the Westside. Welcome home!
