Description

Hidden among the trees in Beverly Glen, this extraordinary three-story home feels like a private retreat a world away from the city. Built in 1965 and lovingly maintained and updated by the same family for nearly 50 years, the 3-bedroom, 3-bath residence unfolds vertically like a treehouse, with a bedroom and bath on each level, abundant natural light, lush greenery at every turn, and private outdoor spaces on every floor - each with a personality all its own. Enter on the lower level into an enormous and wonderfully private primary suite, complete with multiple closets, a charming library enclave, cozy fireplace and beautifully renovated en suite bath with dual sinks, gorgeous tile work, and a quartz vanity. Walls of glass draw your eye outside to a secluded patio oasis surrounded by greenery, the perfect place for morning coffee and a book while listening to the birds. Upstairs, gorgeous peg-and-groove wood floors set the tone for the second level. An open-concept kitchen and dining area is joined by a lovely built-in banquette and flows through oversized sliders to an expansive rear patio stretching nearly the length of the home. A second fireplace adds warmth, while the spacious bedroom opens to two separate balconies. The beautifully renovated full bath features a dual vanity and conveniently opens both directly to the bedroom and to the hall, allowing it to function as an en suite while remaining easily accessible to guests. Abundant built-ins and excellent storage are thoughtfully incorporated throughout. Continue upstairs and discover the home's showstopping third level, where peg-and-groove wood floors continue into a dramatic living space with soaring ceilings, a wet bar and yet another cozy fireplace. Oversized windows flood the room with natural light, complemented by beautifully placed skylights overhead. An entire wall of built-ins creates the perfect backdrop for art, books and treasured collections, while a private balcony nestled among the treetops extends the living space outdoors. A third bedroom and full bath complete this level, offering wonderful flexibility for guests, an office, or additional living space. Beyond its character and architectural details, the home has been extensively updated with central HVAC, a new roof, Anlin windows and doors, updated plumbing and electrical, all-new gas lines, and redone drain lines for the washer and dryer. The third-story outdoor deck has also been newly waterproofed, while tons of built-ins and excellent storage throughout make the home as functional as it is charming. With its wonderfully unconventional layout, incredible natural light and seamless connection to the outdoors, this is a home with genuine personality. Three distinct levels, three fireplaces and multiple private outdoor spaces create the feeling of a secluded retreat, yet the location is remarkably connected. Enjoy easy access to dining, shopping and nightlife at The Glen Centre and neighborhood favorites including Il Segreto, Fabrocini's, and Vibrato, with Beverly Glen and Briarwood Parks nearby. Beverly Hills, UCLA and Harvard-Westlake are all within easy reach, while a quick trip over the hill puts you in Sherman Oaks with favorites like Petit Trois. A magical setting among the trees with the best of both the city and the Valley close at hand.
