"And Charlie, don’t forget what happened to the man who suddenly got everything he always wanted." "What happened?" "He lived happily ever after." ~ Willy Wonka … A magical, private retreat where imagination abounds. Perched in the picturesque hills of Highland Park, this enclave on one of NELA’s most coveted streets promises a world of wonder. Built in 1978, this statement home spans 2,742 (taped) sq ft, with 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and an impressive loft. Bright vistas stretch across canyons, hillsides, and downtown, offering a breathtaking panorama at every turn. Quietly minimal at first blush, surprise awaits. Bold color, curving architecture, and natural light dance through the space creating an open and inviting atmosphere. The entrance atrium is the pause before the, "Wow!" Inside, peering down to the kitchen/dining area and open living space, floor-to-ceiling 3-story windows frame knee-shaking views, truly the heart of the home. Heading down, the one-of-a-kind staircase adds a touch of delight. This expansive gathering space is a whimsy of architectural lines, curves, and joyful light that dances throughout the day into dusk. Just try to be grumpy here, I dare ya. Not to be missed, a bonus bedroom with loft sleeping quarters and access to the backyard. The kitchen, a playground for culinary creativity, opens to multiple decks and patios, ideal for al fresco dining under the summer sky. Upstairs, the bright primary bedroom, with vaulted ceiling and outdoor access, features an ensuite bathroom, including a steam shower and separate jacuzzi bathtub. Just outside the primary, find a library, with built-in floor-to-ceiling bookshelves, and adjacent to it, the entrance to the catwalk that spans the wall of windows. Around the corner, a staircase to an airy loft provides an inspiring vantage point and a quiet place for creative endeavors. Past the loft on the west side of the entry floor, find another bedroom, with a pure vintage 70’s full bath. Outside, three separate lots totaling 19,316 sq ft create a fanciful outdoor paradise. An abundance of green trees and eye-catching blooms border a variety of deck levels. Experience the swimming pool, relax on terraces, and enjoy a soothing fish pond with a waterfall. The main lot is cocooned by the property’s two adjoining lots, creating a private sanctuary yeah, go ahead, take that in-the-buff dip! This tucked-away hillside location ensures peace and seclusion, a private island in the city. Solar panels, fully paid off at closing, ensure energy efficiency. This expansive property includes an attached two-car garage, ample storage, a projector, and a built-in whole-house sound system.
