Description
This stunning townhome with Old Hollywood charm is located just above the Sunset Strip, tucked away in lower Nichols Canyon. Part of The Courtney Desmond Estate (1926), Los Angeles Historic Cultural Monument #445, this townhome is 1 of only 5 unique homes that have rarely come to market in their storied near 100 year history. This beauty and charm of this extraordinary residence has been enhanced by a recent extensive and tasteful restoration, with thoughtful attention to detail, retaining the glamour of its romantic architecture. The home lives like a single family residence, while enjoying the ease of being a part of a small, idyllic community, sharing a tranquil pool, surrounding cabanas, and lush, manicured grounds. The gated entry opens to the expansive, yet private outdoor living surrounding the home which includes multiple water features, sitting areas, as well as a built-in sumptuous spa, a tranquil and lush European setting. The home has generous formal living spaces on the main level, with the elegant primary suite and additional 2 bedrooms and 1 bath on the second level. The authentic and meticulously selected finishes are evident throughout, with exceptional attention to detail. Each window overlooks verdant, leafy vistas, and provide a peaceful, quiet setting. Complete with its own private and gated parking, this rare, timeless, masterfully restored offering simply has it all.
