850 Birchwood Dr

Located on one of the most sought-after streets in the Little Holmby neighborhood, 850 Birchwood is a 1930s traditional 5-bedroom home, a masterpiece of old world charm and character, less than a block from Holmby Park. Fragrant gardens of vintage roses (e.g. Karl Lagerfield, among others), further offset with winter blooms, set the tone for the elegance within. The ideal floor plan features 4 ensuite bedrooms upstairs with stunning city views, including a luxurious primary suite with its own fireplace and access to a balcony overlooking lush greenery. A fifth bedroom and bath on the main floor provide flexibility for a guest suite, nanny quarters, or home office. The private backyard is a tranquil retreat, complete with a pool, patios, gardens, and sweeping views of the Los Angeles Country Club golf course and the Hollywood Hills to the Griffith Observatory. With nearly half an acre which extends to Comstock Avenue, the property offers room for expansion, whether adding a pickleball or basketball court, an ADU, a sustainable garden and generator or even extending the home. Inside, the step-down living room with a wood-burning fireplace and the paneled library/den with a second fireplace exude classic sophistication with soft tones and original wood molding. The formal dining room is perfect for intimate gatherings, while the newly renovated kitchen and sunlit breakfast room, all which open to the pool area, are ideal for daily living, entertaining or simply watching the sunrise over a morning coffee. Adding to its appeal, the home features buried power lines, preserving its scenic surroundings without disruption. Seller has plans and permits for a guest house and expanded landscaping. Located minutes from Beverly Hills, Westwood Village, UCLA, and within the highly desirable Warner Elementary School district, 850 Birchwood offers timeless style, modern comfort, and an unbeatable location to make a generational family home.
