Light-Filled Toluca Lake Pool Home with Old LA Charm

Description

A private, character-filled home in the Toluca Lake area, set behind mature landscaping on a private, secluded-feeling 8,008-square-foot lot. The private grounds provide several distinct outdoor areas, including: • A gated front entrance • Brick courtyard for outdoor dining • Grassy garden shaded by mature trees • Private swimming pool • Detached pool house • Multiple areas for relaxing, working and entertaining The house offers unusual privacy, generous outdoor space and a calm residential setting while remaining convenient to various colleges and universities, as well as Burbank, Studio City, Universal City and the wider Los Angeles area. The main floor is bright and welcoming, with hardwood floors, a formal living room with fireplace and built-in shelving, a separate dining room, and large walls of glass opening onto a brick courtyard. The kitchen includes a breakfast nook, and there are two spacious main-floor bedrooms and one-and-a-half bathrooms, including a remodeled bathroom with dual vanities and a steam shower. Upstairs is a large finished flexible space that can serve as an additional sleeping area, home office, studio, playroom or media room. A detached pool house provides further space for working, exercising or relaxing. Outside, the property includes a private swimming pool, grassy garden shaded by mature trees, a brick dining courtyard and several separate areas for reading, working or spending time outdoors. The layout works particularly well for visiting academics, writers, creative professionals, relocating families or anyone needing a comfortable temporary base rather than an apartment or hotel. The home will be fully furnished and equipped before move-in, including bedroom, living and dining furniture, kitchenware, linens, high-speed internet and dedicated workspace. For a longer stay, some aspects of the furnishing arrangement may be discussed in advance. Pool and garden service are included. Utilities are included subject to an agreed monthly allowance. Pets may be considered individually. We are looking for considerate tenants who will treat the property as their home during their stay. Please include your proposed dates, number of occupants, reason for visiting Los Angeles and any pet or workspace requirements when enquiring.
