Here in the heart of the walkable Valley Village community, a short stroll to the coveted Colfax Charter Elementary School, top private schools, restaurants and shopping, this spacious home is situated on a large corner lot, fronted by one of the oldest oak trees in the neighborhood. The award-winning designer completely transformed this historic 1930’s house in 2015, retaining recognizable elements of the original, while opening the floor plan, raising ceilings and connecting indoors to out. The gourmet kitchen/dining room features a custom banquette, fireplace and French doors opening to a landscape of California native plants, a big pool, outdoor shower, fire pit and fountain. The result is an intentional evolution of a traditional Valley house with minimalist, modern design. This is a tasteful, sophisticated home, textured and warmed by an elegant palette of natural materials – hardwoods, stone, textiles, raw brass fixtures and other high-end finishes throughout. No expense spared. Close to studios, very accessible to the 101, 134, and 170 freeways.
