A rare 17,008-square-foot flat, private estate south of the Boulevard. A Hamptons-inspired traditional, circa 1940, tucked behind tall hedges and a white picket gate. From almost every room you can see the grounds: broad lawns, a gunite pool and spa, and room left over to grow. You don’t have to choose between space and location.

Inside, the house is well proportioned and full of detail. The living room has a marble fireplace, built-ins and views of the garden. The cook’s kitchen is built for gathering, with abundant Carrara marble, a substantial center island, a 48-inch Wolf range and dual Sub-Zero refrigeration. The primary suite is on the first floor. The three bedrooms upstairs have pitched ceilings, window seats and views across the property.

Then there is the cottage. It is detached and has its own living room, bedroom, fireplace and bath. It works as a guest house, a studio, an office or a retreat. Genuine separation. Together the two structures total about 3,695 square feet, with Ventura Boulevard close by and easy access to the Westside.
