4381 Ave Lemp Avenue

Why pay over $4 million when you can have approximately 3,500 square feet on an oversized 10,500-square-foot lot in the heart of Colfax Meadows. Reimagined and refreshed with new paint, new French oak wide-plank flooring, updated lighting and other thoughtful upgrades, this Contemporary Traditional combines comfortable living with traditional detail. Crown moldings, wainscoting, leaded glass windows and distinctive ceiling treatments give the home character that is increasingly hard to find. The entry opens to a formal living room with fireplace and vaulted ceiling, flowing into an oversized dining room with a stepped ceiling, picture window and detailed moldings. The main level also features a powder room, fourth bedroom, service area and direct access from the garage. At the heart of the home is the kitchen, appointed with JennAir appliances, a Fisher & Paykel French-door refrigerator, center island and breakfast nook overlooking the backyard. Adjacent is the family room with fireplace, opening to a covered porch and flagstone patio for easy indoor-outdoor living. Upstairs, the primary suite features a vaulted ceiling, a detailed walk-in closet and a large bath with an oversized soaking tub. Off the primary suite is a large deck overlooking the yard and pool. A second walk-in closet provides additional storage and can also function as a small office. Two additional upstairs bedrooms are en-suite. The backyard offers a broad expanse of lawn with plenty of room for recreation, entertaining or simply enjoying the outdoors. The grotto-style pool faces west and features a river rock wall, spa and surrounding deck. Mature tangelo and navel orange trees add to the setting, while the front garden includes lemon and peach trees along with established rose bushes. A detached, air-conditioned garden studio provides flexible space for a home office, gym, creative studio or pool house. Colfax Meadows has a neighborhood character unto itself, with a strong sense of community, pride of ownership, a Mayberry-like feel, and Carpenter Schools. The home is a short distance from Tujunga Village with its neighborhood shops and restaurants, and close to Ventura Boulevard, the Studio City Farmers Market and the restaurants of Sushi Row. The location also provides convenient access to the major studios, including Warner Bros., Disney, Universal and Netflix, as well as nearby freeways and other Studio City amenities. A gated entrance provides parking for up to four cars on the property. 4381 Lemp Avenue offers real value with generous interior space, a large lot and a comfortable indoor-outdoor setting in the heart of Colfax Meadows. Only two owners since built in 1999, this home has been the center for family gatherings, children after school, summertime by the pool and memories that make a house feel like a home.
