5630 Spreading Oak Drive, Los Angeles, CA 90068

Property Description

Nestled in The Oaks, Los Angeles' coveted Los Feliz neighborhood, 5630 Spreading Oak Drive is a sophisticated and charming 4-bedroom, 4-bath traditional retreat. Built on a street to street lot in 1937 during Hollywood's golden era, the formative years of the neighborhood and just two years after the opening of Griffith Observatory in 1935, the home embodies the timeless spirit that drew discerning Angelenos to these quiet hillside streets beneath the Hollywood Sign, where you feel worlds away from the city's bustle but are moments from some of LA's most beloved destinations. Surrounded by mature trees and layered landscaping, the home offers exceptional privacy and quiet - a relaxing and inspiring setting for writers, artists, musicians, or anyone seeking an enchanting space. Inside, timeless traditional details blend beautifully with refined period touches. The multiple built-in bookcases create a rich grounded tone and the vintage in-wall toaster in the kitchen - a luxury life-style forward design feature prized in 1930s Southern California living - is a delightful nod to the home's history, personality and enduring appeal. This is all layered over an elegant and easy layout, ideal for everything from formal entertaining to relaxed daily living. The living room opens to a brick backyard patio with a bubbling fountain where you might catch a tiny bird playing in the water. It's your own secret garden about ten minutes from Maru Coffee on Hillhurst Ave. There is also space for intimate outdoor dinners and a winding staircase to Hollywood Sign viewpoints. Back inside you have the sought after convenience of three bedrooms and three bathrooms upstairs and a fourth bedroom or office downstairs. All of this and your secret garden are adjacent to iconic Griffith Park, - one of the largest municipal parks in North America - with the Greek Theater, miles of hiking trails and scenic paths, the Los Angeles Zoo, the Griffith Park Dog Park and The Trails cafe, everyone's favorite stop for picnic sandos, pies and pastries. Also a hop skip and jump from Franklin Village, Los Feliz Village, The Oaks Gourmet, UCB, Little Dom's, All Time, Skylight Books, the Los Feliz 3 & Vista Theaters and countless beloved neighborhood shops, cafes, boutiques, Pilates studios and more.
