Description
Begin each morning in your own reimagined sanctuary: a four-person outdoor spa, a private TheraSol steam shower, or simply the unhurried peace of a fully enclosed retreat that the rest of Los Angeles cannot offer at this price. Thoughtfully curated and masterfully reimagined on one of Valley Village's most tranquil streets, this residence sits gracefully on an approximately 8,000 square-foot lot, offering a rare and complete sense of seclusion without surrendering a single convenience. Welcome to 5518 Carpenter Ave offering 3 spacious bedrooms, 3 baths and open-concept residence that flows with effortless sophistication. Wide-plank engineered oak hardwood grounds every room with warmth and intention, while all-new black-frame dual-pane windows flood the interiors with natural California light. Each bathroom offers motorized skylight that casts a warm, ever-shifting luminescence that makes every space feel considered and alive. The redesigned galley kitchen is the social heart of the home, appointed with custom cabinetry, a full Wolf appliance suite including an elegant in-island slide-out Wolf microwave, a newer Wolf range, dishwasher and refrigerator with finishes that signal no detail was overlooked. Just off the kitchen, a discreet third bathroom offers effortless convenience for rinsing off after a dip in the pool or spa thoughtfully positioned and impeccably finished, it is the kind of detail that separates a well-designed home from a truly considered one. The chic bathrooms are sanctuaries in their own right: Toto toilets throughout, white subway tile with black grout, a Toto bidet in the primary, seamless linear drains, dual shower heads, and Delta champagne bronze hardware at every turn. The primary bathroom is elevated by hand-selected Malibu tile work and a refined, spa-inspired aesthetic that invites genuine restoration. The guest bathroom ascends to an entirely different register inviting you to a dedicated freestanding soaking tub for unhurried retreat, paired with a TheraSol steam shower that transforms the daily ritual into something altogether indulgent. A dedicated laundry room appointed with newer large drum sized units which adds a layer of everyday luxury that is rarely overlooked once experienced. Step outside and the California lifestyle unfolds in full offering generous land designed for effortless entertaining under stunning blue open skies. A dedicated four-person hot tub with its own subpanel anchors the outdoor experience, while the expansive rear deck provides a private, resort-caliber stage for gatherings of any scale. Mature ficus trees create a lush, living perimeter of privacy, and a producing orange tree gifts the grounds with something rare in the city the simple, sun-warmed pleasure of orange fruit grown at home. Three mature olive trees complete the landscape with a quiet elegance that feels both curated and timeless. For those who prioritize wellness, a fully outfitted home gym occupies the garage with a private, dedicated space that rarely exists at this price point in this neighborhood. Arrive home and plug directly into the Tesla EV charger, knowing the infrastructure supporting this home is as thoughtfully engineered as everything within it. A 220-amp power panel and newer insulation throughout ensure the home performs as precisely as it presents. The garage also offers generous storage and the future potential to transform into an additional dwelling unit above compelling opportunity for added value. Minutes to the 170, 101, 134, and 210 freeways, the NoHo Arts District, Studio City, Universal Studios, Warner Bros., Netflix, and Disney Studios. The Chandler bike path, Redline subway, Burbank Airport, places of worship, Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, Sprouts, Burbank Empire Center, and Costco are all within easy reach. Equinox, Orangetheory, EOS Fitness, and 24 Hour Fitness round out a lifestyle that demands very little compromise. Come check it out!
