Description
Perfectly positioned atop a lushly landscaped hillside with sweeping mountain and city views, this Franklin Hills oasis is ideally located just moments away from all of the vibrant shops and restaurants that Los Feliz and Silver Lake have to offer. Once home to Graham Nash of Crosby, Stills & Nash, this private gem carries a soulful and storied history. A gentle ascent leads to the first of the home's several enchanting outdoor spaces - a sprawling Ipe deck designed for both relaxed mornings and effortless entertaining. Enjoy weekend brunches and intimate evening gatherings, all while looking out to panoramic views stretching from the Griffith Observatory and Hollywood Sign to Century City and beyond. Inside, light-filled interiors unfold with a sense of ease and intention. A gracious entry leads to the primary suite, a serene retreat featuring dual walk-in closets and an impeccably designed en-suite bathroom with Carrara marble countertops, a double vanity with custom walnut cabinetry, Brizo faucets, a Kohler soaking tub, and a separate shower. A conveniently located laundry room sits just beyond the bedroom. An oak staircase, flanked by original 1920s wood windows, leads to the heart of the home - a stunning chef's kitchen that blends craftsmanship with functionality. Anchored by a large island with Caesarstone countertops, the space is elevated by custom walnut millwork and shelving, Waterworks tile, Thermador appliances, Velux skylights, and Douglas fir ceilings. The adjacent dining room, lined with original windows and sliding glass doors, opens to a dreamy patio complete with a cedar soaking tub, native plantings, and custom Ipe built-in seating and redwood fencing. A welcoming guest bedroom offers patio access and features its own tranquil en-suite bathroom with Carrara countertops, a custom walnut vanity, and a shower overlooking a mature rubber tree. The property's incredible views continue from the upstairs sun-kissed living room, which boasts an abundance of windows and French doors that open to another Ipe deck, the perfect spot for stargazing and viewing sunsets. Additional highlights of the home include white oak floors and ample extra storage throughout. This special home perfectly captures quintessential California living, offering a rare sense of privacy and calm, in the heart of the Eastside's most coveted neighborhood.
