Rare gem of Valley Village! Tucked behind lush, mature landscaping, this extraordinary property feels every bit like a single-family home.

Inside, sunlit rooms flow effortlessly across stunning hardwood floors, anchored by a massive picture window and charming stone fireplace. Custom built-ins create endless function, storage and charm in every space while the in ceiling surround sound system helps to create atmosphere throughout the entire home. The thoughtfully designed chef's kitchen is both elegant and functional, boasting new high-end appliances, a walk-in pantry with a powered appliance bar, generous countertop outlets, and a hidden ice maker behind custom paneling.

The primary suite is a tranquil retreat featuring a cozy sitting nook and a large single-pane picture window framing the lush greenery and a graceful Japanese maple. The inviting bed alcove enhances the feeling of serenity, while the spa-inspired bathroom offers a deep soaking tub, separate shower with river rock flooring, and a spacious custom walk-in closet with laundry discreetly tucked inside. A second skylight in the primary bathroom brings in soft, natural light to complete the spa experience. The guest suite feels like its own private haven, with a pocket door creating separation from the main living area.

Mature and abundant lime, lemon, and mandarin trees provide color, fragrance, and a touch of orchard charm year-round.

There's also a secure gate leading to a private back entrance with convenient access from the rear parking area, the perfect blend of privacy and practicality.
