7640 Woodrow Wilson Drive, Los Angeles, CA 90046

A long-standing dream of life in Los Angeles has long been summarized by the phrase “A house in the Hills” — meaning the Hollywood Hills. Just down the street from where Mama Cass lived, and downhill from Anthony Perkins’ longtime residence, here on sought-after Woodrow Wilson Drive is an elegantly remodeled Eclectic Modern house that fits this expression to a T. Pool? Of course. Gated entry? Naturally. Privacy? Nearly complete, as the house is screened by carefully planned landscaping from the street along with almost all neighbors on a quarter-acre lot. On one level except for the open loft above the living room, and with access to the outdoors from all rooms but one, the house proper has been elegantly remodeled to the highest standards of today’s taste. A sleekly Modernist guest house by Luno Design Studio (permitted as a full ADU) off the auto court was completed just a bit over one year ago. The interior plan of the main house itself was enlarged and transformed in the early 1980s, but all finishes and much of its large picture-window glazing are now completely renewed since 2019. A smartly rebuilt Cooks’ kitchen, the large family/media room, and the outdoor walled dining terrace with built-in barbecue make up a space ideal for entertaining… or quiet relaxation on a Sunday afternoon. The sun deck over the ADU, in-ground spa and pool patio add more places to sun-bathe while reading … “Variety”; Didion; manga — or novels? As you prefer.
