Gated 1948 Traditional-style home with 5 bedrooms and 5 baths on nearly half an acre in a serene, park-like setting in the Lower Bird Streets north of Sunset. Exceptionally private, meticulously maintained, and extensively updated, the property is ideal for year-round indoor/outdoor entertaining. A wraparound porch overlooks the lush, secluded flat front yard. The front door opens to a black-and-white marble foyer and expansive living room with bay window, crown molding, and antique French marble wood-burning fireplace. The formal dining room with wainscoting and pocket doors opens to the family room featuring a second wood-burning fireplace with antique mantel, built-ins, and bookshelves. A breakfast bar and informal dining area flow into the large chef's kitchen with professional appliances and walk-in pantry. Windows and French doors throughout provide abundant light and backyard views. Off the kitchen is a separate guest or staff suite with ensuite bath and walk-in closet, plus adjacent laundry room. A central hall with powder room leads to the private primary suite with cedar-lined walk-in closet and bath with soaking tub and heated floors. Two additional generously sized bedrooms, one with built-in desk and shelving, share a full bath. The lower level with separate entrance offers flexible use as an office, bedroom, gym, screening room, guest and/or staff quarters, with ensuite bath, plus a temperature-controlled 1,500-bottle wine cellar, and large storage room. The exceptional deep lot is framed by mature trees and gardens and features a large swimmer's pool, lounge, and outdoor dining areas. Major NEW upgrades include a dual high-efficiency heat pump HVAC system and ducting, flame-retardant/cool roof, 400-amp electrical service, whole-house solar, tankless water heater, pool equipment, dual level 2 EV chargers, and drought-resistant landscaping. Warm, refined, and impressively private, just minutes to studios, dining, shopping, and West Hollywood Elementary.
