Charming two-story quintessential Traditional located in Westwood Hills. Built in the late 1930s and home to silent movie director Rollin Sturgeon and his actress wife Edna Fisher Sturgeon, much of its original architectural characteristics remain intact including an outdoor incinerator that now is used as a fireplace where you can enjoy your morning coffee or evening glass of wine. Having been impeccably maintained over the decades, this home exudes an abundance of charm at every turn!

The space

A lovely, tasteful, and well-appointed home with easy access to UCLA/Westwood Village/405 Freeway.

Bathed in an abundance of natural light, the rooms are open and spacious. The large living room with fireplace and TV opens to the verdant back patio spaces as does the wonderful cook's kitchen through banks of French doors.

The true hub of this home, its the bright and expansive eat-in kitchen that has everything a discerning chef would desire. The formal dining room is framed by a large bay window and is perfect to enjoy a homemade dinner. A powder bath and pantry complete the first floor. This home comfortably sleeps 6. Upstairs there are 3 bedrooms including an expansive en-suite master bedroom with King bed and two walk-in closets. Two additional bedrooms share an updated hall bathroom. First guest bedroom features a Queen bed and a work/study station (chair and desk; no computer). Second guest bedroom is a nursery with crib and futon (futon it is a bit smaller than a Queen).

The private, lush backyard has several tranquil alfresco spaces. Perfect for dining, barbecuing and lounging. The hillside above, serene with its mature landscape, includes beautiful oak and fruit trees and feels just like having one's own nature preserve. It offers several areas for quiet contemplation while enjoying the views.
