About this single-family home
Discover a serene oasis crafted by architect Alfred Truesdell Gilman in 1950. This gem of a house is built to integrate seamlessly with nature, featuring large windows that provide stunning views of the surrounding garden from nearly every room. The multi-leveled yard, designed by Joe Copp, acclaimed landscape architect of the Hotel Bel-Air and former owner, remains a masterpiece of botanical beauty. A gently flowing natural spring-fed stream, with lily pond, winds under a bridge through the property, creating a habitat for local wildlife, including snowy egrets & mallard ducks. Flowering bushes and trees bloom abundantly, adding vibrant color and tranquility all year long to the park-like setting. A lap pool & spa complements the grounds' aesthetic, offering a private sanctuary for relaxation next to the grassy lawn and rose garden. The home's expansive lot is unusually generous for its size, providing an ample & versatile space for gatherings. It has served as a destination for weddings, art shows, garden tours, and other memorable occasions. Located in the desirable Brookside neighborhood, the home is just minutes from Larchmont Village and easily accessible to Downtown, Hollywood, Beverly Hills, and Century City. Embrace the rare opportunity to own an unexpected & unique urban Eden, and enjoy a life of beauty and inspiration in this captivating retreat.
