Beautiful 1933 Monterey-Style Spanish, preserving many original fixtures and features, now available for the first time in 30 years. Enjoy the privacy and natural beauty of 2+ wooded lots in this welcoming, spacious family home on a quiet stretch of street in the highly desirable Lake Hollywood Knolls. Creators will appreciate the magnificent acoustics of the high-ceilinged great room and the peace of the many tree-shaded decks and patios. Some systems require modernizing, but the unspoiled authenticity and enduring charm of this Classic Hollywood Hills Era home shines through. The main rooms are entered at street level. The gracious hall with its wrought-iron-railed spiral staircase and arched doorways leads to a truly grand room with French doors, stained glass, high beamed ceilings, an impressive fireplace and abundant natural light. The adjacent library features built-in bookcases and calming mountain and treetop views. A long balcony deck provides an inviting sheltered spot for morning coffee or afternoon tea. The generously-sized dining room is perfect for parties and festive family feasts. The kitchen is a study in thoughtful design and a cook's delight! There are loads of customized and glass-fronted cabinets, a center island, stone counters, a Viking range, and a Sub-Zero refrigerator. A powder room completes this level. On the lower level are a large foyer with coat and linen closets, three good-sized bedrooms with high-coved ceilings, two bathrooms, and a family/game/exercise room opening onto a shady tiled patio for lounging or barbeques with friends. An oversized laundry area offers extra storage. This floor also features a sunny outdoor balcony overlooking the backyard. One story down, an additional bedroom and bathroom are accessed via a separate outdoor entrance, convenient for a nanny/maid or additional office. Located minutes from major studios, excellent shopping and outstanding parks, this unusually large property consists of three individual parcels with APN numbers totaling approximately 12,480 feet and offers privacy and a hard-to-find marriage of urban convenience and a refreshingly-rustic setting. Please note: This home is sold as-is and needs updating/remodeling. The fireplace is decorative.
