A very unique, wooden house located in much desired Chevy Chase Canyon. Built by a shipwright in 1972 who diligently designed a hillside retreat that happens to be located close to downtown LA and the beautiful Chevy Chase Country Club. From the brick driveway you see a masterpiece made of tongue and groove cedar planking which is carried on into the inside walls. The great room has soaring ceilings, redwood flooring and large fireplace made of ceilings cobblestones. The kitchen and bathrooms were remodeled seven years ago using high quality sinks, fixtures and granite countertops. The den is approximately 300 sq.ft., carpeted, two skylights and two beautiful stained glass windows, custom made wall cabinetry, and storefront doors going into great room. French doors go out to large front deck with mountain views and wonderful outdoor entertainment opportunities. The house has two large bedrooms upstairs with full bathroom in between (even the upstairs rooms have 20 ft. ceilings) and there is one smaller bedroom with attached full bathroom downstairs. The backyard has been landscaped with hardy native plants, watering system and lighting for peaceful views while dining in the sunroom. The house was repiped 15 years ago and included copper pipes, soft water system and later a tankless water heater. The last reroof was done in 2017. The heating/air conditioning unit was serviced and new ducting was installed. Although the a/c is as old as the house, it is a commercial grade unit operating at 80% efficiency. It is located in a 200 sq.ft. shop behind the garage. There are seven mature oak trees shading the 8,300+ sq.ft. lot.
