Los Angeles, CA 90024 706 Thayer Ave

Majestically set on the corner of Thayer and Loring Avenues in Prime Westwood's Little Holmby, this magnificent Country English residence is rich in original detail and charm. Gorgeous hardwood floors, leaded and stained-glass windows, beamed ceilings, wainscoting, beautiful built-ins, rich wood paneling, colorful original tile and vintage fixtures make this house a true home, in every corner evoking the feel of a bygone era. Rare indeed is it to find a home so lovingly and sensitively preserved. The formal foyer is unusually large and welcoming and leads to the remarkably impressive living room, light-filled with soaring beamed ceilings and a dramatic fireplace. The paneled formal dining room and sweet and sunny breakfast room offer two delightful eating areas adjacent to the butler's pantry and to the well-equipped kitchen, complete with updated stainless-steel appliances. In this wing, there's also a large laundry room as well as a fifth bedroom with an associated bath, perfect as a home-office or for a housekeeper or guest. The main bedroom wing consists of four extra-spacious, bright and uplifting bedrooms, two of them ensuite and the other two sharing a very large bath between them. There are even sweeping views from some rooms. The stone-clad backyard is private and flat with plenty of room for play equipment or for lounging and dining under the California sun and stars. The location is in close-proximity to the very-well-regarded Warner Avenue Elementary School as well as to world-famous UCLA. The vibrant communities of Westwood Village, Brentwood, Century City and Beverly Hills are also very nearby offering a variety of great places for enjoyable dining and shopping.
