4706 Cartwright Avenue, Toluca Lake, CA 91602

Beyond its classic white picket fence and covered porch, 4706 Cartwright combines a meticulously maintained home, a detached guest house, and an outdoor setting unlike almost anything else in Toluca Lake. Every part of the property–from the garden to the grapevines to the small orchard–has been thoughtfully cultivated over many years, offering a connection to nature that’s increasingly difficult to find in Los Angeles. A brick paver walkway winds through blooming roses, a mature olive tree, four producing pineapple guava trees, and a garden before arriving at the 1,600+ square-foot main residence. Inside, natural light fills the open living spaces, highlighting newly refinished hardwood floors, crown moldings, recessed lighting, and a welcoming fireplace. The kitchen features custom Brazilian granite countertops, generous cabinetry, and an open connection to the adjoining living and dining areas that makes everyday living as comfortable as entertaining. Just off the kitchen is a spacious laundry room complete with a utility sink and built-in storage. The home offers three bedrooms and three full bathrooms, including two en-suite bathrooms with jetted Jacuzzi tubs, spacious closets and abundant storage throughout, and a history of meticulous maintenance and genuine pride of ownership. Energy-efficient features–including central HVAC with a Nest thermostat and an attic fan that draws in cool evening air–help keep the home comfortable while reducing energy costs. Separate from the main residence, the approximately ~550+ square-foot detached studio guest house includes its own full kitchen, full bathroom, generous closet space, and laundry hookups, making it well-suited for extended family, long-term guests, a private office, a creative studio, or future rental opportunities. The backyard is where this property leaves a lasting impression. Mature espaliered Concord and white grapevines frame the perimeter of the yard and drape gracefully over the ~344 sq ft covered patio, creating a naturally shaded space for outdoor dining, weekend barbecues, or simply relaxing at the end of the day. An outdoor kitchen and barbecue area make entertaining effortless, while the surrounding landscape evokes the relaxed feeling of California wine country. Beyond the patio, a flourishing collection of mature fruit trees create a private orchard–including avocado, Minneola orange, mandarin, lemon, loquat, sapote, pomegranate, and weeping mulberry trees–that gives this retreat its unmistakable identity. Additional planting space provides ample room for a substantial vegetable garden, making the landscape as productive as it is beautiful. Whether you’re harvesting fruit for breakfast, tending the garden, or sharing the season’s bounty with family and friends, it’s a lifestyle that feels both simple and rewarding. Ideally located in the heart of Toluca Lake, you’re just moments from Toluca Lake Village, Lakeside Golf Club, Warner Bros., Disney, Universal Studios, NBC, CBS, and the NoHo Arts District. The location offers the charm of a quiet residential neighborhood with convenient access to some of Los Angeles’ premier entertainment, dining, and employment centers. Rarely does a property combine a meticulously maintained home, a detached guest house, and a private backyard orchard in one of Toluca Lake’s most desirable neighborhoods.
