Nestled on a serene non-through street within Brentwood’s coveted upper Mandeville Canyon enclave, a hidden gem awaits those seeking a peaceful retreat. This enchanting residence is an embodiment of charm, adorned with mature drought-tolerant plantings and an unparalleled indoor/outdoor lifestyle. Most rooms effortlessly connect to a private backyard, inviting residents to savor the harmony between nature and architecture. This three-bedroom, four-bath charmer is listed for $2,695,000 at Compass. The listing agent is Sally Forster Jones of Compass Realty. 

Sitting on an expansive lot, the property enjoys a sense of tranquility rare within the city, thanks to the lush hills framing both sides of the street. This unique backdrop bestows an idyllic country ambiance, granting privacy and serenity in a harmonious natural setting. A walkway paved with ornate custom tiles leads guests to the home’s entrance, graced by a captivating mosaic that sets the tone for what lies ahead.

The living room is adorned with exposed wood beams and a fireplace, seamlessly bridging the gap between indoors and outdoors with glass doors that open to the inviting exterior spaces. An ideal setting for relaxed indoor/outdoor living.

The kitchen serves as a culinary haven, boasting vaulted natural wood-beamed ceilings, a charming eat-in area with built-ins, a practical breakfast bar, an additional wood-burning fireplace, and top-of-the-line stainless-steel appliances. Illuminated by an array of skylights, the formal dining room is a luminous haven that spills onto the rear grounds through a series of French doors.

The primary wing provides an oasis within an oasis, offering a hotel-suite-inspired entrance, a serene sitting room, a comforting fireplace, and glass-paned doors that lead to the outdoors. The primary bathroom is a haven of relaxation with dual-sink vanity, a luxurious tub, a separate shower, and a walk-in closet enriched with built-in shelving. The secondary bedrooms and bathrooms are generously proportioned and bathed in natural light. A dedicated office space caters to the demands of work and study alike.

Entertaining finds its ultimate expression in the inviting backyard, where a sizable patio, embraced by the sheltering canopy of overhead foliage, provides the perfect stage for al-fresco gatherings. An intimate fireplace and numerous cozy seating nooks enhance the ambiance, while a lush grassy expanse invites playful exploration. Positioned against the hillside, this outdoor haven ensures supreme seclusion and tranquility.

Ample parking facilities, including a garage and an expansive driveway, accommodate guests comfortably. Nearby hiking trails beckon outdoor enthusiasts, while the home’s strategic location offers a life of quiet leisure just moments away from the trendy shops, popular dining destinations, and amenities of San Vicente Boulevard.

Welcome to a haven where urban living merges seamlessly with natural respite.
