LOCALLA

Gated within historic Whitley Heights, this reimagined Spanish Revival is one of only five homes in private Kendra Court. Set on a rare street-to-street lot of roughly 3,058 square feet, the two-suite residence sits minutes from the Hollywood Bowl, Franklin Village, Griffith Park, and the Universal, Disney, and Warner Bros. studios, yet feels worlds away above the energy of Hollywood. Inside, a dramatic step-down living room rises to soaring vaulted wood-beamed ceilings, anchored by a fireplace and framed by French doors. It's a room made for candlelit evenings and easy conversation. Just beyond, the formal dining room flows into a reimagined chef's kitchen wrapped in Italian Calacatta marble, with custom cabinetry, panel-ready integrated appliances concealed for a seamless, furniture-quality look, an oversized center island, and a walk-in pantry. The adjoining family room spills through French doors to terraced gardens and patios made for indoor-outdoor entertaining beneath the stars. A separate flex space, filled with natural light and set apart for privacy, makes an ideal home office, studio, or creative retreat. The home's two expansive bedroom suites are private retreats, each finished with walk-in closets, custom built-ins, and spa-inspired baths in marble and natural stone. Both open to private balconies with the Hollywood Sign and Griffith Observatory straight ahead; from the primary, the downtown Los Angeles skyline and a field of twinkling city lights glitter in the distance. Every space has been thoughtfully updated, with rich walnut wood floors, renovated baths, designer interior lighting, and professionally designed landscape lighting, all with an unwavering respect for the home's period architecture. Outside, mature landscaping and multiple terraced patios create a hillside sanctuary equally suited to a lively gathering or a quiet morning coffee in the garden. Whitley Heights is Hollywood's first celebrity enclave, a 1920s Mediterranean village that drew Rudolph Valentino, Bette Davis, and the silent era's brightest names. Move-in ready, romantic, and rare, this is a chance to own one of Whitley Heights' most captivating homes.
