3216 Fryman Road

A generational opportunity to live in exclusive Fryman Canyon, one of the best locations in Los Angeles. This prime location in the acclaimed Carpenter school district is close to all of Hollywood's studios, a quick drive up Laurel into Hollywood and the Sunset Strip, while also enjoying easy access to Burbank and Van Nuys airport. The trendy shopping and restaurants of Ventura Blvd are close by, as is downtown's vibrant nightlife and theater/sports venues. The front curb appeal of this classic Colonial grabs you instantly. Those stately Georgian columns announce a statement of timeless beauty firmly rooted in tradition, but ready for the boundless excitement of the future. The moment you pass that enticing front brick porch into the foyer, you sense the intuitive floor plan. Everything is located where you want it to be. The gorgeous living room, anchored by the real wood burning fireplace, illuminated with a full wall of western facing windows for maximum natural light is a great room to re-invent. Across the front entry is the gracious formal dining room, also enjoying a wall of windows. This is where families celebrate life's milestone moments. We love the spacious "great Family Room" just off the kitchen. You can make this more of the modern open floor plan by opening a wall into kitchen for a peninsula bar top seating, or maintain the purposeful separation of the traditional floorpan. Either way, both family room and kitchen have separate French doors leading out to the back patio to further enhance the space and usability. The kitchen has been remodeled and enlarged over the years, and is now ready for state-of-the-art design finishes. The walk-in pantry, the breakfast nook and the additional storage area with a wine closet are all in the right places. The huge bonus or pool room off to the side has tremendous optionality. We envision a movie theater, an incredible home gym, or it could even be a main-level suite for grandparents. The main level home office is perfectly placed off the 3-car garage, and enjoys nice natural light. What a great work-from-home option. Up the staircase lays out second floor laundry, and three en suite bedrooms. They don't build homes like this anymore - your kids will love how big their rooms are! The primary suite, adjacent to those secondary rooms so that parents can be near kids, has ample space and lots of windows. The size and placement of the amenities all work - it's now time to enjoy the fun of selecting your specific stylish finishes. The outdoor area definitely accommodates al fresco dining and entertaining. Then, up some gentle stairs is where the magic happens - this huge, flat, park-like lot opens up and gets your imagination running on overdrive. What an enticing opportunity to create a fabulous guest house, a huge sparkling pool, a sports court, a soccer field or championship wiffle ball field, or all of the above. Located near the acclaimed Tree People/Fryman hiking trails is a rare opportunity to create and enjoy, a Wonderful Life.
