REDUCED BY $1.4M FROM ORIGINAL LIST PRICE!! GREAT VALUE!!  Built in 2012 for the current owners, this elegant transitional home features seven bedrooms and seven baths and is enviably located on a quiet Brentwood cul-de-sac street, in close proximity to numerous schools and the dining, shopping and markets on San Vicente, at Brentwood Country Mart, and at Sunset and Barrington. Designed by acclaimed architect Philip Vertoch, the home features timeless design, exceptional layout and modern comforts.  The high-quality construction and materials, abundant natural light, and high ceilings on each floor are immediately evident. The main level features distinct spaces purpose-built for entertaining and living. A grand living room with a fireplace and bar opens broadly, through floor-to-ceiling accordion doors, to an outdoor living room with ceiling heaters. A formal dining room with a vaulted, beamed ceiling is adjacent to the living room. An enormous cook's kitchen with a spacious island, walk-in pantry, kitchen office and separate intimate dining/breakfast room connect to the indoor and outdoor living rooms through closable counter pass-throughs, cleverly placed slider windows and a swinging dining room door.  The back hall separating the entertaining and kitchen areas and connecting to the garage and three-story staircase features a powder room and separate dog wash.  A library, complete with a closet and full bath (which doubles as a second powder room), offers the flexibility to serve as a 7th bedroom suite, if desired. Upstairs, the expansive and beautifully appointed primary suite is complemented by four additional guest bedrooms  (two are en suite, while the other two share a convenient Jack-and-Jill bathroom). Three of the bedrooms have private balconies with western sun exposure. The daylit lower level is an entertainer's haven, showcasing a generous recreation room with a bar, a theater, a private guest suite with a separate entrance to the home, a laundry room with laundry chute connecting all levels of the home, and a flex space (ideal for a gym or wine room).This gated, drive-on property provides unmatched privacy and security, making it a serene retreat in the heart of the city.
