4901 Carpenter Ave

In the heart of walkable Valley Village, close to coveted Colfax Charter Elementary, top private schools, restaurants & shopping, this spacious 'modern traditional' home on a large corner lot is fronted by one of the oldest oak trees in the neighborhood. Award-winning designer Alberto Rivera completely transformed this historic 1930's house, opening the floor plan, raising ceilings, connecting indoors to out - the intentional evolution of a traditional Valley house with minimalist, modern design. The gourmet kitchen features a custom banquette and fireplace. French doors open to a landscape of California native plants, a big pool, outdoor shower, fire pit and fountain. This tasteful, sophisticated home is warmed by an elegant palette of natural materials - hardwoods, stone, textiles, raw brass fixtures and other high-end finishes throughout. No expense spared. Close to studios, very accessible to the 101, 134, and 170 freeways. 4 BD, 2.5 BA, 2,260 SF + 1 BD, 1 BA, 305 SF Guest House.
