Upstairs, five sunny bedrooms and three baths include a serene primary suite designed as a true retreat, with adjoining spaces for work, reading, or wellness.Outdoors, the landscape is composed as a series of enchanting garden rooms, artfully linked by winding paths and vine-covered pergolas. A park-like native California garden, fireplace terrace with pizza oven, Moroccan-inspired courtyard, bamboo shade garden, and a tranquil fountain introduce layers of texture and contrast, while a canopy of mature trees provides privacy and a sense of permanence. At the center, a 45-foot pool and spa are framed by dining terraces and shaded lounges, evoking the calm and refinement of a private resort. Located just blocks from Larchmont Village - with its boutiques, cafes, restaurants, and weekly farmers market - the home offers both convenience and a quintessential Los Angeles lifestyle. A truly rare offering, the Van Ness Home brings together heritage craftsmanship, privacy, and modern livability within historic Windsor Square - uniting architectural significance with the scale of a true compound in one of the area's most distinguished residential settings.
