The property has evolved with grace into a timeless English Tudor where every detail feels considered, a blend of craftsmanship, history, and warmth. Inside, soaring beamed cathedral ceilings create a sense of openness and light, while custom herringbone wood floors ground the space in quiet sophistication. Sunlight filters gently through colorful stained-glass windows, casting shifting patterns across the rooms throughout the day. Restored vintage lighting glows softly in the evenings, enhancing the home's intimate, almost cinematic ambiance. Each of the five en suite bedrooms offers its own distinct rhythm and personality, private & peaceful. At the very top, the primary suite feels like a retreat unto itself, bathed in natural light and surrounded by treetop views that stretch across the lush canyon landscape. On the lower level, the home reveals one of its most captivating chapters. Published as part of the original 1920s cabin, this space carries the spirit of another era. A dramatic refurbished screening lounge unfolds, leading to a hidden Prohibition-era speakeasy tucked behind secret doors- a playful and storied nod to the home's past as a gathering place for the Uplifters community. Outside, the grounds feel equally transportive. Mature greenery surrounds the home, creating a sense of privacy and calm, while the 54-foot saline pool and spa stretch elegantly across the landscape designed for long afternoons in the sun and quiet evenings under a verdant canopy. Incredible creative studio over 3-car garage. Gardening shed. Set within one of Los Angeles' most cherished and storied enclaves, this is more than a home... it's a rare and soulful retreat where history, artistry, and nature exist in effortless harmony.
