Description

This one is special. Nestled just north of Sunset on one of Brentwood's fabled Helena cul-de-sacs is this quintessentially charming Spanish gem. Tucked privately behind a walled and gated courtyard, this evocative home exudes emotion at every turn with its stone floors, warm woodwork, French paned windows and doors, heavy beams, fine finishes and gorgeous ironwork. It is rare to find a vintage-feeling home that lives like now and today and this one sure does. This highly-upgraded hacienda has a wide-open floorplan with its airy living area, dining area and kitchen flowing out to the glorious outdoors. The kitchen has a large island/breakfast bar, top-tier stainless appliances and plenty of storage and workspace. For those quieter moments, there is also a den with built in bookcases and views to the yard. There are three bedrooms on the main level, one ensuite and the other two sharing a bath, Jack and Jill style. A powder bath, a large laundry/utility room and direct access into the two-car garage complete the first level. Upstairs is fabulous primary retreat, complete with treetop-vistas, an unusually spacious closet and a lovely bath featuring a clawfoot tub. The backyard is magically landscaped and takes in magnificent, wide open views across this maturely wooded neighborhood. There's a swimmer's pool, a grassy expanse and a trellised patio... the perfect spot for lounging and dining under the Southern California sun and stars. All this in close proximity to UCLA, to Brentwood, to Santa Monica, to nearby beaches and to all the fine shopping and dining each area affords.
