The chef's kitchen features stone countertops, custom cabinetry, and premium appliances, opening naturally to the main living spaces. The spacious primary suite includes dual walk-in closets, a spa-like bath with a soaking tub overlooking the treetops, and direct access to the serene backyard. Two additional en-suite bedrooms provide comfort and privacy, while a flexible bonus room is ideal for a home office, gym, or creative studio. Additional highlights include Fleetwood sliding doors, hardwood floors, custom porcelain tile, a two-car garage with 220V outlet, and integrated security with alarm and video surveillance. Blending iconic mid-century design with modern updates, generous outdoor living, and spectacular views, this is a rare opportunity to enjoy one of the Hollywood Hills' most sought-after settings just moments from the Sunset Strip.
