Description
Set across a rare double lot in Westwood Hills, this refined Colonial residence, originally built in 1940, unfolds through a series of richly layered interiors and expansive outdoor spaces, seamlessly blending timeless architectural character with thoughtful modern updates. Adding to its legacy, the property was once home to legendary entertainer Kenny Rogers, who famously celebrated his wedding in the home's gardens.Framed by mature landscaping and capturing views toward The Getty, the home has been comprehensively updated, including a significant upper-level addition that introduces a dedicated study and an expanded primary suite with dual walk-in closets and luxurious bath. Additional improvements include multiple bathroom renovations and a fully reimagined kitchen.A gracious foyer sets the tone with a warm material palette and classic detailing, opening to the formal living room where hand-hewn floors, a fireplace, and French doors create a seamless connection to the surrounding gardens. The dining room has been artfully redesigned with deep blue tones and oversized picture windows that draw in abundant natural light throughout the day.The kitchen serves as both a central gathering space and a highly functional workspace, anchored by a large Silestone quartz island and custom cabinetry, wood flooring, high-end appliances, and an expansive butler's pantry. An adjoining casual living area extends effortlessly to the outdoors, reinforcing the home's indoor-outdoor flow. A richly appointed wood-paneled bar and lounge introduces a more intimate setting for entertaining. Outside, an expansive flat lawn, a pool and spa, built-in barbecue, and multiple patios offer an ideal backdrop for both large-scale gatherings and relaxed afternoons beneath a canopy of mature treesthe very gardens that once hosted one of the property's most memorable celebrations.Upstairs, the home is anchored by the expansive primary suite, complemented by the newly added study. Two additional en suite bedrooms complete the upper level, while a main-level en suite bedroom provides a comfortable option for guests. On the lower level, a generously sized studio with its own entrance and poolside access functions equally well as a private guest suite or creative workspace.Positioned within one of Los Angeles' most established residential enclaves, the property is moments from Warner Avenue School, leading private institutions, UCLA, and UCLA Medical Center, while remaining conveniently connected to Beverly Hills, the greater Westside, renowned dining and cultural destinations, local farmers markets, and major transportation corridors.
