Originally designed by Gordon Hayes, AIA, and set on an idyllic 11,000+ square foot lot with a pool, this character-filled residence is surrounded by lush gardens, mature landscaping, and a collection of outdoor spaces that create a rare sense of privacy. Cottage-inspired details, including diamond-pane windows, decorative brick pathways, and storybook-like garden settings, lend the home a timeless quality, while a thoughtful series of updates enhance everyday living. More than just a residence, the property unfolds as a private retreat where architecture, landscape, and outdoor living exist in equal measure.Inside, the home's primary gathering spaces are warm, inviting, and filled with natural light. Original wood floors run throughout the living and dining rooms, where a brick fireplace serves as the focal point and French doors extend the living experience outdoors. Large divided-light windows frame verdant views at nearly every turn, keeping the gardens and greenery present throughout the interiors.The kitchen preserves much of its original character while incorporating thoughtful updates. Knotty pine cabinetry, scalloped millwork, and restored yellow tile countertops and backsplash lend a warmth and authenticity rarely found today. A new range, updated fixtures, open shelving, and additional prep space have been introduced while allowing the original craftsmanship to remain at the forefront. An interior Dutch door, original pass-through, and sink window framed by mature lemon trees further distinguish the space.The bedrooms are thoughtfully arranged, creating separation between guest spaces and the primary suite while maintaining a strong connection to the surrounding gardens. On one side of the home, a guest bedroom features an impressive wall of built-in shelving and is paired with a dramatic color-drenched bathroom. Across the home, two additional bedrooms include a generous primary suite and a secondary bedroom distinguished by exposed wood ceilings and diamond-pane windows overlooking the greenery beyond. Updated bathrooms bring a fresh layer of functionality while remaining in dialogue with the home's original architectural details.The grounds are every bit as compelling as the residence itself. A freeform pool serves as the centerpiece of the backyard, framed by mature bamboo, flowering bougainvillea, citrus trees, and established landscaping that creates a remarkable sense of privacy. Just beyond the covered patio, brick pathways lead to intimate outdoor seating areas shaded by lemon trees and lush plantings. At the rear of the property, an additional flat terrace expands the usable outdoor space, offering flexibility for gardening, recreation, entertaining, or future creative use. Together, the grounds feel less like a backyard and more like a private garden retreat hidden within the city.Neighborhood favorites include Casalna in Woodland Hills, while nearby Calabasas offers a vibrant collection of dining and caf destinations including Cafecito, SUGARFISH by Sushi Nozawa, Superba Food + Bread, Porta Via, Toscanova, and Pedalers Fork, many located within The Commons at Calabasas and Old Town Calabasas. Everyday conveniences are equally close at hand with Erewhon Calabasas, Whole Foods Market Woodland Hills, Trader Joe's, and Gelson's. Residents also enjoy easy access to The Commons at Calabasas, along with two of the area's most popular farmers markets, including the Woodland Hills Farmers Market on Saturdays and the Calabasas Farmers Market on Saturdays in Old Town Calabasas. Nearby hiking trails and outdoor recreation further enhance the area's connection to nature, while convenient access to Warner Center, The Village at Topanga, Calabasas, Studio City, and Sherman Oaks places shopping, dining, entertainment, and major commuter routes within close reach.
