Property Description
Brookside! Rock n roll history! Gorgeous Spanish Revival home perched atop a knoll in the desirable and very sought-after Brookside neighborhood adjacent to Hancock Park. This estate-like property, gated and surrounded by thick mature private hedges has a main residence with 4-bedrooms and 3-bathrooms plus a bonus sun room off the primary bedroom as well as a spacious guest house complete with kitchenette, 3/4 bath, private patio, separate laundry, and separate access from the side. Upon entry, from its foyer and dramatic staircase, the home has retained many of its period details and classic architectural elements that are a testament to a bygone era. From the step-down living room with its dramatic double-height, beamed ceiling, sets of French doors open onto a covered patio overlooking the sparkling swimming pool that is flanked on one side by a spectacular architectural colonnade of arches. The formal dining room, with its own elaborate ceiling detailing connects to a very expansive gourmet chef's kitchen with Thermador appliances, double ovens, farm-style sink, pantry space, and a generous island perfect for dining/entertaining; in addition to there being ample space for a dinette, there is also an additional breakfast room and walk-in pantry. The sweeping staircase divides the upper bedroom level of the residence: a very well proportioned primary suite features 2 walk-in closets, a connected sun-room that overlooks the pool, and a spacious bathroom with double sinks, jetted-tub and glass-enclosed shower. The guest room wing features 2 substantial-sized bedrooms with walk-in closets, and a 3rd smaller room ideal for use as a bedroom, study/office or any number of uses; a large full bathroom with dual sinks services this wing and a laundry space for a stackable washer/dryer is located between these rooms. Once a hub for the musicians in the Laurel Canyon music scene, Peter Asher, folk singer, music producer, Grammy winner and friend of the Beatles rented this house for $400 and James Taylor and Carole King lived here for years as his guests; James Taylor's hit album "Sweet Baby James" was written/produced here.
