On the flipside of the Hollywood Hills you’ll find Studio City, an increasingly desirable real estate destination. Today’s Celebrity Home of the Week lies in the heart of the family friendly (i.e. great public schools) and Ventura Blvd convenient, Colfax Meadows neighborhood of Studio City.
The main house encompasses 3,202 square feet of living space divided into three beds and three baths. A separate detached studio-style guesthouse has a kitchenette and additional bathroom.
This two-story traditional style home dates back to the 1940s. The property makes complete use of its leafy corner lot, where high hedges and walls provide plenty of privacy. A gated entrance offers even more security.
Enter the welcoming hallway to find open living and dining areas. Hardwood floors, large brick fireplace, Dutch doors, vaulted ceilings and floor-to-ceiling French doors are a few of the highlights. The French doors open to a terra-cotta floored dining terrace.
The dine-in kitchen has been recently remodeled and upgraded with stainless steel appliances, including a hidden beverage fridge. Shaker cabinets, Carrera marble countertops and an island for prep as well as dining complete the fresh makeover.
Before venturing upstairs, we’d be remiss not to mention the Harry Potter themed closet room hidden under the staircase. Unfortunately, even though the listing describes it in detail, there are no photos included. So you’ll have to use your imagination.
All three bedrooms are located on the second floor, with two guest and family rooms sharing a vintage tiled hall bathroom.
Inside the master suite you’ll find more vaulted ceilings, another fireplace–this one in the corner of the room–a walk-in closet and more French doors, which lead to a private balcony.
The master bath features a soaking tub and separate shower as well as a vanity with double sinks. No fighting over nighttime routines with your significant other.
Outdoors you’ll find more terra-cotta tiles covering a large courtyard with ample sized swimming pool and spa.
