Nestled on an expansive, storybook parcel in the heart of Mandeville Canyon, this extraordinary estate feels worlds away from Los Angeles, yet remains just moments from the best of the Westside. Surrounded by lush landscaping, a sprawling meadow framed by a ranch-style fence and enchanting gardens, the property offers a rare blend of natural beauty, privacy, and old-world charm. The grounds are truly magical, with sun-drenched patios, peaceful verandas, and a lagoon-style pool featuring a grand waterfall, creating a resort-like atmosphere. Tucked behind gates, the home evokes the romance of the Tuscan countryside, blending timeless materials with European elegance. From the forged ironwork to custom stone and wood finishes, artisan workmanship is evident throughout. Venetian plaster walls add warmth and refinement throughout the interiors, while a striking oversized front door - over a century old with detailed engraving - sets a dramatic tone upon entry. Inside, the grand formal living room is a true showpiece, with ceilings soaring over 20 feet, dramatic wood beams, and elegant built-ins. French doors open to a spacious balcony, flooding the space with light and connecting the interiors to the surrounding beauty. A gourmet kitchen flows seamlessly into a cozy breakfast nook and inviting family room, both of which open to the outdoor living areas. The covered patio is ideal for entertaining, featuring a wood-burning clay pizza oven and a built-in stainless-steel grill. The pool, spa, and sweeping meadow accommodate both relaxation and large gatherings. Upstairs, the luxurious primary suite offers a private retreat with a fireplace, spa-like bath, walk-in closet, and a secluded balcony overlooking the verdant grounds. Two additional ensuite bedrooms provide comfort for family and guests, while the lower level offers a flexible fourth bedroom or gym and a wine cellar with custom stone and wood finishes.Warm, authentic, and entirely unique, this is more than a home - it's a private escape that captures the romance of the European countryside, nestled in the heart of Brentwood.
