About This Home

Conveniently located in Lower Bel-Air in a sleepy, leafy neighborhood just moments from UCLA, this very charming, late-1940s, one-story Traditional has so much of its rich, original architectural detail intact; its wainscoting, paned windows, paneled walls, beamed ceilings, crown moldings and warm wood floors have been lovingly maintained by the same family for over 40 years. Beautifully set back from the street with warm curb appeal and a sweet, flagstone-clad front porch, this home's floor plan is very flexible and is bathed in an abundance of sunlight. The formal entry opens to a spacious living room with sweeping views of the front yard. The sizable living room can accommodate a few different seating areas and is warmed by a brick fireplace; it opens easily through a bank of French doors to a large outdoor patio. The formal dining room is located sensibly right off the kitchen. The family room also opens to the sunny kitchen and graciously opens to the backyard patio as well. Done in a crisp white motif and awash in sunlight via a tall, dramatic skylight, the cheerful kitchen serves as the true hub of the house. There are three roomy, serene-feeling bedrooms, each with ample closet space and lovely green vistas. There's also another private space, ideal as a study, library, home office or as a potential fourth bedroom. So incredibly special is the unusually large backyard. It includes a semi-enclosed, brick-clad patio space that functions like a true outdoor living and dining room. Beyond is a vast grassy expanse with plenty of room for kids to play in and if desired, there is so much space to work with to create an alfresco haven for entertaining and lounging including plenty of room within which to build a pool. All this in the much- admired Warner Avenue Elementary School District and moments from the wonderful shopping and dining found in nearby Brentwood, Westwood Village, Century City and Beverly Hills.
