5950 Winnetka Avenue

A long private driveway winds above the surrounding homes to a gated hilltop estate on approximately three quarters of an acre, embraced by mature trees dating to the 1950s. Blending a distinctive natural setting with a comprehensive two year remodel, the residence now includes a new roof, dual HVAC systems, new electrical, flooring, lighting and windows, along with a fully reimagined kitchen designed for serious cooking. An integrated home control system provides remote and voice control of lighting and climate, plus water leak monitoring.Inside are five bedrooms and four bathrooms. The primary suite is on the second floor, and a second ensuite bedroom on the first floor gives guests or extended family privacy of their own. The attached garage and courtyard present an opportunity for an ADU, with a conceptual design for a one bedroom residence featuring its own kitchen, living room, bath and laundry. The backyard features a pool set among established landscaping. As evening settles behind the gates, the grounds turn restful and still, with all of Los Angeles within easy reach.
