1912 Benecia Avenue Los Angeles , CA 90025

Luxuriate in your own private countryside in the heart of Century City. This extraordinary family home -- on the market for the first time in almost 40 years -- sits on a gorgeous, expansive lot -- 10,952 sq foot (over .25 acre), one of the largest in the neighborhood. The inviting main house is thoughtfully appointed with hardwood floors, crown moldings awash in natural light pouring into the spacious living and dining rooms. At its center is the gourmet kitchen, featuring stainless-steel appliances including a 6-burner Bertazzoni range, with a show-stopping view of the sweeping verdant landscape; four bedrooms and two baths complete the main level. On the lower floor is a full apartment enveloped in garden views; over the garage, an airy studio space provides flexibility as a home office, gym or guest suite. Both units are permitted and may be rented out or configured to create a family compound. Hidden behind mature hedges, the thoughtfully planted and meticulously tended lush garden is a serene spot to enjoy bucolic surroundings while maintaining prime access to world-class shopping, restaurants and entertainment within minutes. The scale of the grounds will inspire the new steward of this unique property, presenting options to reimagine the spaces a/o move right in and generate additional income.
