Joie de Vivre! Lake Hollywood French Normandy Revival, circa 1927. A grand, enchanting architectural residence of notable distinction sited in one of the most sought after neighborhoods in the famed hills of Hollywood. Crowning a sprawling, near 1/4 acre lot the home beautifully bridges the aesthetic divide between structure and nature surrounded by a vast, magnificent mountain backdrop. Boundless, breathtaking views of the mountains beyond and the city below are showcased from abundant vantage points and picture frame windows. Inspired by the French farmhouses of Normandy and the Loire Valley, this romantic architecture is timeless in its appeal. With thoughtful reverence for the celebrated historical value, a magnificent restoration, reimagining and redesign was completed honoring the home's original charm and character creating a unique symmetry of alluring old world elegance with the style, design and amenities for today's contemporary lifestyle. Soaring barrel ceilings of the living room ascend above rich wood floors. Beautifully redesigned baths are dressed in travertine, venetian plaster, fine fixtures and bespoke cabinetry. The kitchen is a finely curated culinary center artfully adorned with Cremo Supremo Italian quartzite countertops, high end stainless steel appliances and adjoining rotunda breakfast nook. The lower level family room offers options as an entertainment/multi media room, home office or 4th bedroom suite! The backyard lawn and patio contribute to the Southern California lifestyle of outdoor entertaining and relaxed al fresco leisure. Highlights include dual driveways for ease of parking and refurbished converted garage with updated windows and added door for use as an office or gym. Ideally located in the coveted Valley View Elementary School and just moments from hiking trails, chic dining, Universal, NBC, CBS, Disney and Warner Bros. Studios, and the famed Hollywood Bowl.
