Located south of Riverside Drive on one of Toluca Lakes' premiere streets, 4359 Clybourn Avenue, is the refined marriage of elegant Spanish Colonial Revival architecture and modern essentials. The gated compound is comprised of a fully renovated and expanded single-level main residence and a newly built two-story guest house. The gracious tower-shaped entry and arched doorway lead you inside where your eye falls directly toward a spectacular living room; features include traditional barrel ceiling, tile-faced fireplace, wrought iron wall sconces, and newly created custom leaded, beveled glass windows with hand-painted and fired details. The entertainer’s kitchen features a coffered ceiling, honed marble dining island, bar area with beverage refrigerator, Thermador 6 burner range and oven with pot filler, an inviting breakfast nook, and formal dining space. The primary suite, accessed through double doors, reveals a stunning open pyramid-shaped ceiling of custom milled solid grain fir. The basketweave pattern floor tile in the primary bath is reminiscent of the era; double sinks, a separate shower, and a freestanding bathtub create a tranquil space to start or finish your day.
Two additional bedrooms are flanking a Jack and Jill style bath, basketweave floor tile, and shower tiles echo the design of the primary suite. Wide plank white oak floors are used throughout the home, along with consistent accents found in the crown molding detail, touches of Aegean Teal, and stained-glass accents that pay homage to the early days of Toluca Lake and nearby studios. The Hollywood Regency style guest powder room provides another affectionate nod to the area’s history. The two-story guest house is the perfect flexible accessory to accommodate any lifestyle change. Whether you need work from home office space, a creative studio, housing for live-in assistants or nanny, extended stay family, or your recent college grad, you will have as many options as there are possibilities. The guest house has a large living space, powder room, and laundry downstairs with an open kitchen, dining island, sleep space, and bath on the second floor. The kitchen is fully outfitted with stainless appliances. The same wide plank white oak flooring and custom windows have been used to create a consistent design signature.
