Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1938, this home is well-maintained and move-in ready but shows clear signs of aging in its primary systems and finishes. The kitchen features dated tile countertops and older-model double ovens likely from a renovation 20-30 years ago. While the primary bath has been updated with marble, the overall aesthetic, including the wood-paneled cabinetry and light fixtures, reflects an older style that lacks contemporary luxury standards, aligning with the listing's mention of 'extraordinary potential' for modernization.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 22304, living area = 2792.
Elementary School: Fairburn Avenue Elementary School (9/10).
Situated in the highly coveted Lower Mandeville Canyon, this property offers a rare combination of secluded canyon privacy and immediate proximity to Brentwood’s premier dining and shopping.
Given its 1938 construction and 'extraordinary potential' marketing, the home likely requires significant capital investment to update systems and finishes to contemporary luxury standards.
While local elementary schools are top-rated, the assigned middle and high schools are located several miles away, which may present logistical challenges in Westside traffic.
Tucked inside coveted Lower Mandeville Canyon, where canyon privacy meets Brentwood convenience, this exceptional single-story residence offers a rare blend of character, scale, and timeless California living. Just moments from the heart of Brentwood’s dining, shopping, and daily amenities, Lower Mandeville is prized for its peaceful setting, larger lots, and effortless access to city life, a combination that is increasingly hard to find. A stately pine tree and brick drive lead to the three-car attached garage and secure gated entry with call box. Beyond the gate, a lush courtyard and brick pathway welcome you home. Inside, a gracious foyer opens to expansive living spaces ideal for entertaining and everyday living. The formal living room flows to an intimate step-down sitting area with wood beamed ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace, and French doors opening to the grounds. The formal dining room, enhanced by a bay window with built-in seating, is ready for intimate dinners or holiday gatherings. Nearby, the spacious kitchen offers abundant cabinetry, prep space, a gas range with copper hood, double ovens, and a breakfast nook. A versatile adjoining utility suite with laundry, full bath, and direct patio access provides endless possibilities as a gym, studio, mudroom, guest overflow space, or creative retreat. A standout feature is the richly detailed powder room adjoining the foyer, where a wood-burning brick fireplace, custom vanity crafted from an antique hutch, and built-in bookcase create a memorable design moment. The private bedroom wing offers excellent storage and two generous secondary bedrooms. One features dual closets and a window seat, while the other is currently styled as a handsome office with built-ins, desk area, and a Murphy bed for added flexibility. The primary suite is a peaceful escape with direct access to the backyard, dual walk-in closets, and a spacious marble bath complete with skylight, soaking tub, dual vanities, bidet, and glass-enclosed shower. Outdoors, mature trees, layered greenery, and the hillside backdrop create a private setting that feels worlds away from the city. The brick patio invite dining and lounging beneath the trees, while occasional deer sightings add to the serenity. A rare offering in one of Brentwood’s most sought-after enclaves, this is canyon living with soul, substance, and extraordinary potential.
