Description
Tucked into the serene hills of BHPO just moments from Benedict Canyon, this charming Cape Cod inspired retreat offers privacy and character. Sunlight fills the open, multi-level layout, highlighting vaulted ceilings, graceful arches, and thoughtful architectural details throughout. A blend of Spanish warmth and classic design is showcased through Saltillo tile floors, exposed wood beams, and timeless finishes. The home spans approximately 2,309 square feet and features two bedrooms plus a versatile den or office that can easily serve as a third bedroom, along with two bathrooms and a loft-style living room anchored by a cozy fireplace. The kitchen is equipped with stainless steel appliances and a center island, flowing seamlessly into the dining area. French doors open to a spacious, private patio - an ideal setting for entertaining or unwinding under the stars. The primary suite occupies the entire upper level, offering a romantic escape with a fireplace, vaulted beamed ceilings, arched windows, and peaceful treetop views. A cedar-lined walk-in closet and a spa-like bathroom featuring custom cabinetry and slate finishes complete the experience. An enclosed private two-car garage provides secure parking and added convenience. A peaceful hillside sanctuary just minutes from the heart of Beverly Hills.
