First time on the market in nearly 50 years, this prime Beachwood Canyon custom-built mid-century exudes extraordinary craftsmanship and quality, with art-deco design elements and stylish flourishes throughout. Located on a quiet cul-de-sac, this wonderfully private home enjoys a magical garden (complete with a spa grotto and waterfalls) that cascades to a spacious, secluded dining patio. Orange, lemon and lime trees, red bark maple, sequoia, fountains and flowers make it a haven for hummingbirds. Over-sized windows bring the outdoors inside, with a lovely flagstone floored den and a striking stack-stone fireplace. The spacious living room maintains the connection to nature with an interior window that affords a lovely garden view from every angle. The well-proportioned floor plan exhibits an excellent utilization of space that belies its compact footprint. Two bedrooms, with an ingenious double bathroom between them, a vintage kitchen, a delightful Marilyn themed powder room, excellent storage, a laundry room, and an oversized two-car garage complete this lovely home. Close to the Beachwood Cafe and Market and the hiking and riding trails of Griffith Park and just minutes to vibrant downtown Hollywood, this private, peaceful home is the perfect Hollywood haven.
