Behind private gates, a tranquil 20,000-square-foot woodland setting transforms this distinctive 1953 Mid-Century residence into something far more than a home-it feels like your own private retreat. Cherished by its owners for decades, this exceptional property is ready for its next chapter, with a substantial price adjustment creating a rare opportunity to own a home that combines architectural character, privacy, and natural beauty. The updated 4-bedroom, 3-bath residence offers more than 2,400 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space. Expansive windows fill the interiors with natural light, while original Mid-Century details-including exposed-beam ceilings, hardwood floors, clean lines, and a striking feature wall-blend with contemporary comfort. Dramatic living/dining spaces open directly to a generous wood deck, creating an inviting setting for morning coffee, intimate dinners, or evenings entertaining friends. At the home's center, a design-forward kitchen balances iconic Mid-Century style with modern functionality, featuring colorful custom cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, warm hardwood floors, and abundant workspace. Two secondary bedrooms and a modern bath complete the main level. Privately positioned, the primary suite provides a peaceful sanctuary with a spacious walk-in closet and light-filled, spa-inspired bath finished with clean lines and natural materials. Direct access to the grounds makes the connection between bedroom and nature effortless. A separate-entry lower level with private bath offers flexibility as a home office, creative studio, gym, or guest suite, or potential ADU. An unattached two-car garage adds convenience and versatility. Outside, the grounds are the true showstopper. A tranquil stream and charming footbridge meander beneath mature trees and lush landscaping, while stone pathways, natural rock accents, and multiple gathering areas create a serene environment for relaxing, entertaining, and escaping the pace of Los Angeles. Ideally positioned for Westside access, the property is near highly regarded private and public schools, local parks, Sherman Oaks Galleria, Westfield Fashion Square, and the restaurants, shops, and entertainment along Ventura Boulevard. For those seeking a distinctive Los Angeles residence where authentic Mid-Century architecture meets a private woodland escape, this is a remarkably rare offering. Come experience the setting, architecture, and sense of retreat for yourself.
