146 Ashdale Avenue, Lower Bel-Air

Warm and inviting right from the curb and conveniently located just above Sunset Boulevard in Lower Bel-Air, this four bedroom, four bath Traditional Ranch has been recently renovated with exquisite taste and a refined, contemporary flair. Its crisp and neutral color palette features wide-planked, wood-look porcelain floors, iron casement windows, beamed ceilings, modern fixtures, honed marble and so much more. The open floorplan has a sun-bathed, light-and-bright feel at every turn, the front-facing rooms taking full advantage of sweeping city-light views.

The airy interior spaces offer a sensible floorplan with easy flow from room-to-room and to the outdoors. The living and formal dining rooms are both warmed by fireplaces. The spacious dining room has a full wet bar and wine refrigerator.

The large, gourmet kitchen is equipped with the discerning chef in mind; there’s custom cabinetry with multiple built-ins, a walk-in pantry, a farmhouse sink and Thermador appliances including an eight-burner cooking range with dual ovens. The kitchen has an informal dining area which opens to a deck. There’s an adjacent laundry area.

Ther are four spacious bedrooms each with its own bath. The primary suite’s bathroom is luxurious and spa-like with a large shower, extra-wide double vanities and a soaking tub.

The outdoor living spaces are beautifully landscaped and private. The expansive lounging and dining area and sparkling swimmer’s pool and spa offer delightful moments of alfresco entertaining under the Los Angeles sun and stars. The terraced backyard offers wide-open vistas of this maturely wooded neighborhood and beyond, of the city twinkle and the shimmering Pacific Ocean. Front and backyards feature plenty of grassy spaces, vegetable gardens and several fruit trees.

There’s direct access to a two-car garage and off-street parking for at least five vehicles.

All this wonder is in close proximity to the fine shopping and dining in Beverly Hills, Westwood, Century City and Brentwood and also very close to UCLA. Warner Avenue Elementary.
