Property Description

Infinitely charming right from the curb with its storybook diamond-paned windows and brick and wood façade, this vintage 1952 Traditional California Ranch is a true home. Sited conveniently in lower Beverly Hills Post Office’s Coldwater Canyon on a sleepy lane within a community of leafy, peaceful cul-de-sacs, this spacious residence has five bedrooms and four baths and is light, bright and cheerful at every turn. Wood floors, original tilework, many built-ins, and period architectural detail add a tremendous amount of warmth to the interiors.

Its welcoming formal foyer leads to the living room, complete with a stone-clad fireplace and wide-open access to the backyard. The formal dining room is graced by wainscoting and pretty street-side vistas. The family room is expansive with plenty of room for a few vignettes of seating; it has another fireplace, brick-clad in style and a wet-bar. Easy access to the backyard from here as well. The kitchen is sensibly adjacent to the family room and includes a sweet breakfast room with a beamed ceiling and original chair railing detail. The laundry room comes complete with its own sink. There is a fifth bedroom with a full bath in this wing as well, perfect for a guest or housekeeper.

There are four additional bedrooms, all in one wing, privately situated on the other side of the house. The three family bedrooms are all spacious. The primary bedroom retreat is very special with its own paneled sitting room and open access to the backyard.

And what a lovely backyard it is! There are both covered and open patios and a great flat grassy yard. Treetop vistas and glimpses of the mountain-scape beyond create the feeling of being “away from it all” yet this location is mere moments from Downtown Beverly Hills and its fashionable shopping and dining venues.

Plenty of extra storage throughout.
