100 S Crescent Heights Boulevard

Description

Also for sale @ $3,895,000. In a city like Los Angeles, where the lines between reality and illusion sometimes blur, this home stands as a testament to both security and serenity. Behind full-grown hedges and security gates you find yourself cocooned in a sanctuary that seems almost too quiet for a city known for its relentless pace. The downstairs RiotGlass windowsbulletproof and smash-proofwhisper of a world outside that cannot intrude, while the residence's motorized blinds close at your command, offering a private world within. Going further inside, there's a harmony to this house, a blend of modern convenience and old-world coziness that defies its 4,100 sq.ft. (including pool house). Despite its generous size, the home remains intimate, inviting. Natural light floods the front living room and dining area, especially in the late afternoon, turning it into a place where time seems to slow, just for a moment. The vast, floor-to-ceiling kitchen with an island almost as big as a continent, begs for culinary experiments, with appliances that anticipate every need. A large family room with a fireplace (one of three in the house) is adjacent to the kitchen, forming the hub for modern living. These combined areas open - really open, with sliding walls of glass - to the great outdoors. It's here, in the back quadrant of the home, that indoor/outdoor flow really gets going. Also on the ground floor, the first of five bedrooms in the main house, a powder room, a mud room, and direct access to the large 2-car garage (which opens onto 1st Street - not Crescent Heights). Upstairs is a complex of four en-suite bedrooms that can be used as an owner's needs dictate. The primary suite is a retreat within a retreat, a space where you can light a fire and let the world walk on by. The bathroom puts most hotel Presidential Suites to shame, a 280 sq.ft. in-home spa with a large tub, step-in shower (for at least two), and double sinks. Life inside the primary suite is, as your mother used to say, like "Fort Knox," but with all the warmth and security of a well-worn blanket. The other three upstairs en-suite guest bedrooms (two have tubs in their bathrooms) are ready for kids, companions, and/or long-term guests. There's even a flex space upstairs that is perfect for an office, TV area, gym equipment, or play space. The pool and hot tub outside invite leisurely afternoons with friends, while the spacious outdoor areas are perfect for gatherings that stretch long into the evening. BONUS ALERT: A separate 140 sq.ft. structure with a bathroom and HVAC sits away from the main house and would make the perfect pool house, writer's retreat, gym, or an additional sleeping area. Also outside, the pool, a sparkling gem, invites you to immerse yourself in its cool depths, while the bubbling spa jets offer a warm embrace under the starlit sky. The ultra-private (no one looking in) outdoor space, expansive and inviting, covered and uncovered, is perfect for cooking for gatherings that stretch into the night while laughter and conversation carry on gentle L.A. breezes. This is a home for those who seek both the pulse and the pause of city lifea place where you can live fully in the moment, secure in the knowledge that when the world becomes too much, your private life is just a key turn away.
