About this home

Picturesque traditional modern home with interior design by Garance Rousseau awash in mature trees and greenery with fully done detached recording studio or guest house available now. Stepping past the mature tree and grassy front yard into the home puts you in the living room, featuring original hardwood floors, wood framed windows, and bespoke fixtures. Through the cased transition is the formal dining room with wainscoting that gives way to the kitchen area, all accented with Farrow & Ball paint and detailing. The custom kitchen is framed by picture windows, a built-in breakfast nook, and features stainless steel high end appliances. The bathroom has been renovated with Rosso Alicante marble floor and Fireclay tile walls, Rejuvenation vanity and antique glass knobs, and clawfoot bathtub and shower. The guest bedroom has beautiful wood windows and a door to the backyard, while the primary bedroom has a custom closet with built-ins and room for a king bed. The gated backyard has a covered patio for al fresco dining and a koi pond surrounded by mature plants, vines and fruit trees. Across the small bridge over the koi pond through a door is a fully outfitted approximately 300 sf recording studio or guest house with its own powder room bathroom. It has been soundproofed, fitted with hardwood floors and recessed lighting, features a window looking out to the koi pond and greenery, and has its own dedicated mini split HVAC system. The home has central heating and cooling, EV car charger, custom built-out laundry closet, and parking in the driveway for two cars outside the gate. A special oasis in North Hollywood ready for its next steward.
