OFFERS DUE TUESDAY 5/26 BY NOON.

Positioned on an expansive 8,500SF lot, the home is thoughtfully centered around a private courtyard, where nearly every room opens outward through French doors, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor flow filled with light, air, and greenery. Inside, soaring vaulted wood-clad ceilings, skylights, and rich organic textures create a space that feels expansive and intimate. The architecture carries the soul of a modern cabin retreat, with dramatic volume, natural materials, and dual fireplaces anchoring both the living room and primary suite. Sunlight filters beautifully throughout the home, enhancing the warmth of the wood interiors and creating an atmosphere that feels calm andgrounded.

The sprawling backyard has ample room for a swimmer's pool, guest house, gardens, or the creation of a true compound-style environment. Off the garage, an additional bonus structure and workshop space presents exciting possibilities for a future ADU, creative studio, wellness space, office, or poolside cabana. Surrounded by beautiful ranch and architectural homes on a quiet tree-lined street in the coveted Kester Elementary district, this is a rare opportunity to own a soulful architectural property that feels worlds away yet remains centrally located with easy access to the best of Los Angeles.
