Description

808 Enderby Drive*****Come home to this welcoming Beverly Hills brick and stone abode, constructed in 1938 but carefully and comfortably brought forward into the twenty-first century. Beautiful evergreen and deciduous plantings surround the front lawn providing a rich adornment to the façade of this charming colonial. Decorative shutters add to the inviting countenance while a driveway leading to a garage allows off-street parking. A pedimented entry foyer serves to introduce the main level where freshly refinished wood floors and the glorious light of many windows invite the warmth of sunshine to permeate throughout. Toast your toes by the living room fireplace, with a stainless steel lined chimney and rebuilt front, before enjoying the camaraderie of friends around the dining room table. A butler’s pantry with generous cabinetry and counters joins the kitchen and dining room, further enabling easy
entertaining. Recent appliances and a hammered copper farm sink in this well-equipped culinary
space sit aside granite counters, banked by expansive white-washed cabinets and drawers. Enjoy a
quiet moment, have a bite to eat or sip a libation at the table overlooking the expansive iron fenced
rear yard accessed by a glass door. A family room or main level bedroom with full shower bath adds
to the relaxed, yet cosmopolitan, feel of comfort. Completing this level is a powder room for all your
guests and family. The second level includes three bedrooms, two with wood floors and the third newly carpeted. A ceiling fan contributes to the ambience of a primary bedroom while a nicely appointed tile bath with oversized shower stands at the ready for all. Time away from it all can be found in the cozy carpeted study created on the lower level where entrance to a laundry/utility area, abundant storage and the garage are also found. The garden whisks you away from the realities of daily tasks with its cooling grass surrounded by wide planting beds and a petite brick patio. Residents will thoroughly adore this exterior room with plenty of room for croquet, kicking a soccer ball, placing a badminton net or gentle gardening. It’s clear to see the care these owners have taken in their dedication to the property. Many
improvements have been made over the tutelage of their residency including: renovations of the
three bathrooms, replacement of all appliances, utility improvement/replacement – heating system
and air conditioning, electrical panel and outlet upgrades, renewed attic insulation. Exterior work
