This Craftsman Traditional home was built over 100 years ago, making it one of the original homes of the Hollywood Hills. The 5 bedroom home has recently undergone a painstaking, no expense spared restoration and expansion that maintains the original character and details of the early twentieth century while incorporating all the necessary and needed modern amenities of the 21st.

This Hollywood Hills compound offers nearly a quarter acre lot completely wrapped in mature hedges for ultimate privacy, lush landscaping, rolling lawns, a vegetable garden, and multiple areas to relax and entertain including a sparkling pool.

The main level features a grand scale living room with a fireplace and pocket doors that can close the room off from the entry foyer and stairwell and the dining room.

The formal dining room has lovely built-ins evocative of the era, perfect for fine china storage or to display cherished art objects or as a bar.

The graceful open plan kitchen has been completely renovated and features stainless steel appliances, subway tile backsplash, two sinks, and custom cabinetry.

A relaxing family room has two sets of French doors that open to the vintage brick patio.

The brick patio has an outdoor grill and a dining area to accommodate large groups, plus a fire pit that overlooks the charming gardens below.

A half bath on the main level offers a chic and stylish space for guests to use as a powder room.

The top floor has three guest bedrooms and two baths.

The guest bedrooms are spacious and some include private patios and built-in bookshelves.

The primary suite features an office with walnut bookcases, walnut floors, a wood beamed ceiling, and direct access to the pool and backyard.

The primary suite is spacious with great backyard views.

The suite has double walk-in closets.

And a gigantic en suite bath with two sinks, plenty of storage, a soaking tub, walk-in shower, and laundry.

The home’s lower level features a wonderfully flexible space with direct access to the outdoors, a full kitchen, and a full bath.

It makes the perfect game room and is absolutely excellent for entertaining.

The Hamptons-style pool deck and its glistening pool provides the ultimate summer escape from city life.

The property also has a large, self-contained guest house with a separate storage room below. The guest house has a full bath, a sitting area, wet bar, sleeping space, a work station, plus beautiful wood beamed ceilings.

7523 Franklin Avenue also has a two-car garage with storage and a driveway that allows a total of five cars to be parked on the property – increasingly rare for the area.
