About this single-family home
History comes home to Franklin Hills. Tucked between the restaurants, coffee shops and boutiques of Los Feliz & Silver Lake and atop one of the 14 secret staircases the area is known for, sits a secret oasis built by brothers Harold and Paul Young almost 100 years ago. Nearly hidden from the street above, this special home takes the meaning of natural light, privacy and views to new levels. Loaded with character details at every turn, 3914 Sunset Drive proves that what's old is very much new again. The living room features floor to ceiling casement windows, graceful arches, plaster walls and hardwood floors that flow seamlessly into the kind of dining room where meals are meant to be savored as the sun sets through a canopy of banana palms. The vibiest of sunrooms, paneled with reclaimed wood and opening to a dining deck with views for miles, begs for late night guitar and vinyl. A sun-drenched bedroom with painted grass cloth walls and separate full bath with custom redwood counters, rounds out the first floor. Venturing downstairs, you'll find two large bedrooms, both with en suite baths, one with a petite deck that opens to the garden, the other with a separate side entrance and enough room to be the ultimate primary retreat, an at-home production office or a creative space to launch your next business. Your seclusion can be replaced in moments with a quick trip down the hill to Casita del Campo, Barbrix, Trader Joe's, Gelson's and a host of other welcome distractions when you're ready to rejoin the world. Award-winning Franklin Elementary. There may be potential for future income as the larger of the downstairs bedrooms was previously outfitted with a kitchenette and rented out. Pending LADBS approval, there could be AirBNB or fulltime tenant occupancy; buyer to investigate. Please note that there is no covered parking, only a parking pad.
