Up a private drive, this warm & inviting classic two story home resides on a generous flat parcel in an exclusive park-like setting above the lovely Lake Hollywood Reservoir. Cherished for 40 years by the same meticulous owners who have thoroughly enjoyed its dazzling views, uncommon privacy & super convenient location, this light-bathed home exudes a tranquil ambiance that feels as if you may have been transported to Provence. From the primary suite balcony at dawn, most days begin with vibrant sunrises that break over the hills of Griffith Park to the downtown skyline before lighting up the the iconic Hollywood Sign, the Griffith Park Observatory & the occasional family of deer grazing on the pasture that stretches 100 feet in front of the house. In early evenings on the charming brick patio surrounding the sun-drenched pool, most days end with brilliant sunsets that melt behind the silhouette of the Hollywood Hills. During the day, lush landscaping & mature trees that flank the patio pool deck offer several spaces for moments of contemplation, inspiration & relaxation - reminiscent of a private romantic villa tucked away in the foothills of northern Italy or southern France. Inside, original hardwood floors, crown moldings and French doors/windows provide a comforting sensibility throughout a floor plan that includes a grand living room with fireplace, a formal dining room adjacent to a cheerful white tiled eat-in kitchen & a den/4th bedroom with fireplace downstairs - all with French doors that invite in the light and the fresh afternoon breeze. Up a formal staircase the second level features a generous 2nd bedroom with built-ins, a large vintage tiled bathroom, a 3rd en suite bedroom with balcony and a sumptuous primary suite with a high pitched ceiling, spa like bathroom that feels like a treehouse, walk-in closet, fireplace and that spacious balcony overlooking those superb views. With a home life so serene in this extraordinary setting near acres of open space & miles of hiking trails, you'll have a hard time believing that most major studios, downtown & Hollywood are all just minutes away. It just might take you 40 years to believe you've found this slice of heaven in the heart of Los Angeles.
