Description
Welcome to 5518 Carpenter Ave, your new private zen-inspired sanctuary surrounded by luscious olive trees, a masterfully reimagined turnkey residence appointed with luxury amenities at every turn, nestled on one of Valley Village's most tranquil streets just minutes from Studio City, the NoHo Arts District, the Hollywood Hills, top-rated schools, places of worship, and the very best of Los Angeles living. Begin each morning choosing your own private ritual: a four-person outdoor spa, a TheraSol steam shower, or simply the unhurried peace of a fully enclosed retreat that the rest of Los Angeles cannot offer at this price. This graceful residence perfect for an ADU above the garage sits on an approximately 8,000 square-foot lot, offering a rare sense of seclusion without surrendering a single convenience. Three spacious bedrooms, three baths, and an open-concept layout flow with effortless sophistication throughout. Wide-plank engineered oak hardwood flooring every room with warmth and intention, while all-new black-frame dual-pane windows and motorized skylights flood the interiors with natural California light. The redesigned galley kitchen is the social heart of the home, appointed with custom cabinetry and a full Wolf appliance suite including an in-island slide-out Wolf microwave, newer Wolf range, dishwasher, and Sub Zero refrigerator. Just off the kitchen, a discreet third bathroom offers effortless convenience for rinsing off after a dip in the spa, the kind of detail that separates a well-designed home from a truly considered one. The reimagined bathrooms are sanctuaries in their own right: Toto toilets throughout, crisp white subway tile with black grout, a Toto bidet in the primary, seamless linear drains, dual shower heads, malibu tiles and Delta champagne bronze hardware at every turn. The guest bathroom offers a dedicated freestanding soaking tub paired with a TheraSol steam shower that transforms the daily ritual into something altogether indulgent. A dedicated laundry room with newer large-drum units completes the picture. Step outside and the California lifestyle unfolds in full beneath stunning open skies. A four-person hot tub with its own subpanel and an expansive rear deck provide a private, resort-caliber stage for gatherings of any scale. Mature ficus trees create a lush perimeter of privacy, while a producing orange tree and three olive trees complete the landscape with quiet Mediterranean elegance. A fully outfitted home gym occupies the garage, with a Tesla EV charger, 220-amp power panel, and newer insulation ensuring the home performs as precisely as it presents. The garage also offers future potential to transform into an additional dwelling unit above. Minutes to the 170, 101, 134, and 210 freeways, Universal Studios, Warner Bros., Netflix, Disney Studios, the Chandler bike path, Redline subway, Burbank Airport, Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, Sprouts, Costco, Equinox, Orangetheory, and 24 Hour Fitness. Own a piece of the future. District NoHo, a $1 billion master-planned urban village at Lankershim and Chandler, and Metro's NoHo to Pasadena Bus Rapid Transit line, targeted for the 2028 Summer Olympics, are reshaping this neighborhood for a generation.
