Immerse yourself in unobstructed views of sparkling Lake Hollywood, the iconic Hollywood sign, the hills of Griffith Park and the glittering lights of Downtown Los Angeles.

It has beautiful curb appeal with its high-pitched slate roof and its deep, gracious front porch.

The house is flooded with an abundance of natural light and the open floorplan is built for modern entertaining, Southern California style, with seamless flow from room to room and from the interiors to the exteriors. For truly unforgettable gatherings, your guests will delight in the expansive brick alfresco entertaining terrace running the length of the house. Completely private and tranquil, large enough to host family and friends, lounging and dining under the sun and stars, surrounded by some of the most coveted vistas Los Angeles has to offer. Beautiful detailed custom millwork throughout, bookcases, spaces for showcasing art, gorgeous fireplace mantelpieces, crown moldings, wall paneling, extra-high ceilings and more. Authentic French pavers, imported from chateaux in France, and wood floors gleam with good taste. The well-equipped, open kitchen area features custom cabinetry with plenty of built-ins, a pantry, and a center island with bar seating for six. Keeping the chef company is easy in the attached family room, complete with a cozy brick fireplace and wide-open access to the terrace and views.
