The story
- Pool
With the romance of a European countryside retreat, this five-bedroom, three-bath home offers a private sanctuary in Woodland Hills, south of Ventura Boulevard. An approximately 100-year-old East Indian gate opens to an expansive brick courtyard framed by mature olive trees, a fountain, outdoor fireplace, and inviting gathering spaces. A raised terrace offers a quiet spot for morning coffee or evening wine, with views across the Valley toward the northern mountains. Inside, generous living and dining spaces welcome everyday moments and larger celebrations. Updated flooring, a sculptural fireplace, newer windows, and tall sliding glass doors create a light-filled connection to the poolside terrace. The kitchen features updated flooring, a gas cooktop beneath a substantial stainless steel hood, newer stainless steel double wall ovens, and a dishwasher. Adjoining dining opens to the pool terrace and barbecue patio.Two sets of French doors connect the downstairs primary suite to the courtyard, complemented by a spacious closet and dual-sink en-suite bath. Four upstairs bedrooms provide flexibility for guests, study, or work, with mountain views from two. Two recently renovated upstairs bathrooms feature European fixtures. Mature landscaping surrounds the secluded pool, level lawn, and outdoor entertaining areas. Copper plumbing, a separate laundry room, and an attached three-car garage add convenience. The generous, usable lot offers potential for a guesthouse or ADU, subject to buyer investigation and approvals.
