2946 N Beachwood Dr Los Angeles, CA 90068

In upper Beachwood, in a peaceful residential neighborhood, sits a stunning carved-wood gate welcoming you into a true haven, unlike anything else Beachwood Canyon has to offer. From the moment you set foot in the brick-paved courtyard, hidden from the outside world by palm trees and lush, pink bougainvillea, you'll immediately understand why the few artists lucky enough to call this house their home have been so reluctant to leave. The artisanal entrance to this iconic 3-bedroom, 3-bath Spanish-style sanctuary, once owned by Oscar-nominated Spring Byington, exudes a warmth, creative energy and magic matched only by the charming blend of vintage sophistication and modern luxury found within. Abundant natural light streaming through expansive windows illuminates the living room's gorgeous hardwood flooring, coved ceilings, and inviting wood-burning fireplace. Graceful archways seamlessly connect to the spacious, convivial dining area with easy access to a huge front terrace, perfect for a pre-dinner cocktail or two. The heart of the home is the magazine-worthy kitchen, sporting top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances, custom shaker-style cabinetry, a farmhouse sink, gleaming countertops, and a lively breakfast nook with built-in leather banquette seating. A versatile flex room with a wet bar is any entertainer's dream, while the spacious media room is the perfect space for cozy movie nights. After a long day, retire to the restful privacy of the stylish bedrooms, one of which is on the lower level and features intricate hand-stenciled flooring. Upstairs, another is currently arranged as a luxurious walk-in closet for the primary retreat alongside an exquisitely tiled bath with a soaking tub. Multiple French doors open to the amphitheater-style backyard dotted with lush foliage, several shaded sitting areas, and a prized pizza oven imported from Italy. Enjoy the winding pathway up to a professionally preserved treehouse - the perfect spot to enjoy some morning meditation or a characteristic pink-hued Hollywood sunset. Other notables include the carefully thought-out laundry room and impressively equipped garage-turned-gym. Make this unique treasure yours before it slips away!
