About this property
Tucked in a private enclave in the Hollywood Hills is a charming 1932 Spanish retreat home. The original architectural detail and old Hollywood glamour of the property have been retained and reimagined. 3359 Bennett Dr. feels like a vacation villa a million miles away, but its location is just minutes from Hollywood, Studio City, Universal, the 101, and all the best that LA has to offer. The courtyard entrance sets the tone, with mature landscaping, bougainvillea, jasmine, citrus and hand-tiled details surrounding a welcoming fountain. Inside, original details mingle with distinctive updates and improvements, including a generous cook's kitchen centered around a dramatic blue agate island, a refurbished vintage O'Keefe & Merritt range, and an expansive living room with refinished Douglas fir floors, a striking fireplace, and custom built-in walnut cabinetry and bookshelves. The three-bedroom, two-bath light-filled main residence is designed for indoor/outdoor living. The property unfolds in a series of distinctive spaces designed for entertaining and relaxation. Just beyond the large open kitchen and pantry, French doors lead to an inviting outdoor dining area and fire pit/grill for intimate gatherings under the stars. Two of the bedrooms feature balcony views of the extraordinary backyard with a classic black-bottom pool and mosaic pebble courtyard surrounding the vintage tiled pool shaded by two enormous king palms and the hillside. Citrus and fig trees, roses, an herb garden, and Italian cypress create a timeless feeling, completely removed from the hustle and bustle of the city beyond. Adjacent to the pool, sits a beautiful, expansive covered pavilion offering an additional shady retreat for work or cocktails, and a dedicated space for an outdoor gym or massage area. Together, these spaces create a wonderful sense of privacy and seclusion rarely associated with such a central LA location. Next to the pavilion is a modern guest house with a full tiled bath, kitchen, and washer/dryer perfect for renters, guests, work, or creative pursuits. With its combination of Old Hollywood detail and glamour, remarkable privacy and central location, 3359 Bennett Drive offers something unique and increasingly rare in Los Angeles: the feeling of having escaped somewhere entirely, without leaving your home. Be the next steward of this beautiful property that has been lovingly shaped by the current longtime owners as a distinctive place to live, create, and entertain.
