Less than a block from the storied Movie Colony neighborhood is this wonderful, newer, Spanish-style home with bedroom/2 bath casita. Created by Stephen De Christopher in 2004 for easy entertaining and expansive living the home is at once both warm and welcoming. The rotunda entry hall with slate flooring introduces visitors to the large living room with fireplace and sunken wet bar, which is in turn open to an office/library, a formal dining room as well as the enormous kitchen with center island. The master suite has a beautiful bath and stunning walk-in closet. On the opposite side of the home is an extra room and two guest/family bedrooms that share a bath. But wait! Don't forget the 2 bedroom/2bath + living room casita, perfect for extended-stay family and guests! Outdoors there is a 50' lap pool + spa, built in BBQ and garages for 3 cars. With upgrades too numberous to list, you'll just have to see this one! A market value appraisal was done on 8/23/10. Results: $1,250,0
