A fantastic Mid-century fixer, with stunning panoramic views, in Studio City hills. This 1950's single story home, has a spacious layout and original details throughout. A large motor court leads to a beautiful stone entry, with a grand double door, that sets the tone and opens into the foyer. A sunk in family room, with a bespoke stone fireplace, surrounded by oversized windows allowing in an abundance of natural light. An additional formal living room, with a wet bar, and a second custom fireplace, opens up to a generous kitchen through a breakfast bar, and on the other, to a sizable covered patio through grand sliding glass doors. The kitchen has all original cabinetry and built-ins, with an open dining area. The primary bedroom has a walk-in closet with plenty of storage, a primary bath, and a glass door that leads outside to the covered patio. There's a total of 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a large laundry room, and an oversized garage. The home sits on a considerable, primarily flat lot, that can accommodate a large pool, with plenty of room for entertaining, highlighted by the dramatic views. For the Mid-century enthusiast, this home is a perfect candidate to update the existing structure, maintain it's charm and characteristics, and restore it back to it's glory. Another option, and major benefit, is that this property also comes with breathtaking RTI plans, that took more than a year to design and fully approve, for a designer done, eco-friendly, ground up remodel, with additions, that will impress the most discerning clientele. The proposed plan will bring this single story residence to approx. 3,600 sq. ft., with four en suite bedrooms, 4.5 baths, high vaulted ceilings throughout, connecting with nature through earthy tones and materials, expansive walls of glass, and a central open air courtyard making you one with the elements. The copious chef's kitchen will connect you to a vast living room, drenched with natural light, open to the views through a plethora of windows and doors, accompanied by a linear fireplace, spacious bar, and a voluminous dining space, surrounded by extensive windows. The generously sized, luxurious primary suite is the epitome of peace and privacy, with an airy floor plan, a large walk-in, and spa-like bath, overlooking the spectacular sweeping views of the surrounding mountains, hills, major studios, valley, pool, and deck areas.
