Property Description

This Vintage 1935 Spanish Hacienda in highly desirable Little Holmby is rich in character and original architectural detail. Sited on a large, mostly flat wooded lot on Lindbrook Drive, it benefits meaningfully from the notable absence of high-rise condominiums overlooking the property, a common occurrence on the south side of this lovely, tree-lined street. This, combined with the benefit of towering, mature trees along the property's perimeter, creates an uncommon sense of privacy at every turn. Much of this home's original architectural integrity remains beautifully intact presenting a rewarding opportunity for restoration, re-imagination and thoughtful reinterpretation. A true gem, this residence offers 5 bedrooms and 4 baths in a two-story floor plan. The dramatic living room features a tall, vaulted ceiling accented by carved wood beams. There is a romantic fireplace evoking the warmth and soul of old-world California architecture. The formal living and dining rooms open to a generous brick-clad patio and to the expansive backyard beyond. The indoor-outdoor flow is easy and gracious. A cozy paneled den with another fireplace is an intimate retreat steeped in the charm of yesteryear. Four bedrooms are found in one wing, two upstairs, two down. The tiled kitchen and sweet breakfast room evoke memories of times gone by. Off the kitchen in its own wing is the fifth bedroom, en suite, perfect for a housekeeper, nanny, house-guests or as a home office. A laundry room is found off the kitchen as well. The expansive, leafy backyard has several areas perfect for outdoor entertaining, lounging and dining. Even an outdoor grill. Mature trees provide a verdant canopy. Here is a property of remarkable potential in one of West Los Angeles' most sought-after neighborhoods, moments from UCLA, Westwood Village, Century City and Beverly Hills and included in the coveted Warner Avenue Elementary School District.
