NEW exterior moving stairlift! *This magnificent Connecticut-style residence is situated on approximately 1/3 acre in the Sherman Oaks Hills. Built in 1942 and reminiscent of Robert Byrd's detailed architectural design, the captivating family home is a gated, hidden haven that features 3bd/3ba in the main house, plus a separate 1bd GUEST HOUSE (not included in sq footage), a large POOL with FOUNTAINS and SPA, and breathtaking VIEWS. After descending the custom stone staircase, guests are greeted by a storybook home that is incomparable in design and charm. The interior spaces boast remarkable craftsmanship, including a living room with handcrafted wood beams supporting a vaulted ceiling, hand-pegged floors, a large decorative fireplace, and bespoke latch doors and bookcases. The adjoining expansive great room incorporates reclaimed wood plank floors and massive windows on three sides to shower the space with light while framing the magnificent exterior vistas. Artistic detailing has been retained in the custom-built kitchen with its sunny breakfast area and beautifully crafted built-ins, while the cooking area is equipped with granite counters and the original 1947 O'Keefe and Merritt stove. Included in the impressive primary suite is a massive stone fireplace, walk-in closet, a bathroom with a clawfoot tub, and an adjoining alcove/study with pool access. One of two enchanting guest suites completes the lower-level bedroom wing. A second-story loft/office area with sweeping views leads to an additional guest suite with pitched ceilings and a large private bathroom complete with a sitting/dressing area. French doors throughout the home open to the enormous deck that accommodates several large entertainment spaces with barbecue areas, as well as a sparkling POOL that features a built-in spa, fountain, and an automatic cover. Overlooking the pool, the 2-story bonus GUEST HOUSE is suitable for use as an office, guest quarters, studio, or media room(s) with access to a detached bathroom with shower. The custom stonework and lush landscaping with colorful florals all add to the magical outdoor ambience. Street-level parking includes a two-car garage and two extra parking places. The new custom stairlift serves as an alternative to the exterior staircase that leads to this hidden oasis. This extraordinary celeb-owned home, perfect for family living as well as for entertaining, is not only emotional...it is unforgettable!
