Description

Perched above the street, this 1920's English Country home marries the best of its era's character with a modern sensibility. Arches, sash windows and built-ins complement wide plank, Sahara white-oak floors, a timelessly updated kitchen and bathrooms, a converted guest house and a heated, salt-water pool. The public rooms open to a deck that invites alfresco dining, overlooks the grounds and creates the perfect sanctuary under a canopy of trees. Beyond the pool is a guest house that makes an ideal...Perched above the street, this 1920's English Country home marries the best of its era's character with a modern sensibility. Arches, sash windows and built-ins complement wide plank, Sahara white-oak floors, a timelessly updated kitchen and bathrooms, a converted guest house and a heated, salt-water pool. The public rooms open to a deck that invites alfresco dining, overlooks the grounds and creates the perfect sanctuary under a canopy of trees. Beyond the pool is a guest house that makes an ideal studio, office, or in-law suite. Stroll to Little Dom's, McCall's, Lassens and the heart of Los Feliz village. Reminiscent of the French and English Countryside, it offers privacy for the discreet, taste for the discerning, and proximity for the urbane. The best of life in Los Angeles.
