Travel up the private driveway to a lovely flat pad and a classic mid-century two story, Fryman Canyon Estate home with 3,100 square feet, 5 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, swimming pool, and two car garage. Additional parking space is available for up to four cars. The custom-built residence is situated on a ½ +acre parcel with all windows offering pleasant views of native California Coast Live Oak, Toyon and mature Olive trees. Wake up to an occasional deer, coyote or bobcat passing through the grounds on their morning forage. This location is all about privacy and convenience for both work and play. Put on your walking/ hiking shoes or grab your mountain bike and head down the street to enjoy the many trails off of Wilacre Park. If you are heading to the Westside or to the studios, it is all nearby. You will appreciate being close to shopping and restaurants all along Ventura Boulevard. Just down the hill is the highly rated Carpenter Community Charter (public elementary) School; Bridges Academy is just across the street and Campbell Hall is only a short drive down Laurel Canyon. This home was built in 1963 when homes featured generous room sizes and ample storage! Upstairs are four large bedrooms, one a primary suite with dual sinks and a walk-in closet. Downstairs public rooms include a grand piano sized living room with a wood-burning and gas fireplace, a separate formal dining room, family room with wet bar, powder room, and a custom Euro-style bright red kitchen with an abundance of cabinets and counter space. Off the kitchen is the laundry room, and fifth bedroom with full bath. On the market for the first time in 40 years, homes like this rarely come up for sale in this neighborhood. This home has excellent bones; it needs some TLC and vision to make it your dream home. Opportunity is knocking, this Fryman Canyon Estate property is priced to sell. Property being sold “as is.”
