The story
Set behind private gates on one of the most recognized streets in the 90019, this 6-bedroom, 6-bathroom residence delivers the kind of scale and flexibility rarely found in a single-family home. At over 5,000 square feet on a nearly 8,000 square foot lot, the property offers two primary suites, one on each level, plus four additional upstairs bedrooms, three of which have their own en suite bathrooms, a bonus upstairs family room, and an elevator connecting both floors. The main level family room features skylights that fill the space with natural light throughout the day, and the open flow between the interior living areas and the outdoor entertaining spaces makes the home feel even larger than its already spacious footprint. The eat-in kitchen is well-positioned adjacent to a laundry room with potential to expand into a larger kitchen configuration for those who want to make it the centerpiece of the home. The indoor/outdoor layout is designed for effortless entertaining with seamless access between the living/dining spaces and the private yard. The upper level is designed around comfort and flexibility. The primary suite features vaulted ceilings with skylights that flood the room with natural light. A separate cedar dressing room offers dedicated wardrobe space that would be the envy of any LA fashionista. Also on the upper level is an accessible shower and soaking tub valued at $25,000, combining function with a spa-like finish. A total of 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, and a bonus family room complete the upstairs, offering room for guests, a dedicated workspace, or a media room. For added peace of mind, significant plumbing downstairs has been replaced, and the foundation has been professionally reinforced, providing a solid base for the home's next chapter. Brookside is a residential enclave of approximately 400 homes across eight tree-lined streets, bounded by Wilshire Blvd to the north and Olympic Blvd to the south, and between Highland Ave to the west and Muirfield Ave to the east. The location places residents near the La Brea corridor's galleries, dining, and coffee options along La Brea Avenue. Republique, Met Her at a Bar, Met Him at a Bar, The Night We Met, and Her Thai are neighborhood dining staples; Marlowe Coffee and Dam Good Coffee serve the morning crowd; and Trader Joe's, Sprouts Farmers Market, and Ralphs cover everyday grocery needs. Larchmont Village, LACMA, the La Brea Tar Pits, the El Rey Theatre, and the David Kordansky Gallery are all within easy access.
