It’s not every day that a home appears on the market in one of the very best neighborhoods of Los Angeles. The Los Feliz Oaks neighborhood is the only neighborhood in Los Feliz that falls outside the 90027 zip code and into the Hollywood Hills’s 90068. As you drive that stretch of Los Feliz Boulevard and enter the Oaks neighborhood it really feels like you’re stepping out of one city and into another. The Oaks is a hilly and green and verdant area between Beachwood Canyon and Griffith Park. This neighborhood feels secluded with its winding, hilly, tree lined streets.
5605 Hill Oak Drive is a mid-century modern post & beam set on an elevated lot in this neighborhood. Many of the homes in Los Feliz Oaks boast stunning hillside and canyon views, but 5605 Hill Oak Drive’s canyon and observatory views are truly unrivaled.
The open concept living area features wood floors, wood beams, walls of windows, and an over-sized stack stone fireplace that separates the living room and a den and anchors the space, acting as the heart of the home.
Many architectural details have been virtually untouched, including this timelessly stylish custom bar.
The bright and airy kitchen has plenty of storage and nice views of your outdoor areas.
The kitchen also has a convenient eat-in bar with more period built-ins.
The formal dining room doesn’t feel so formal, except when you want to extend the wood partition to close it off from the kitchen.
Another room of the main living area is a wonderful office, dining, or flex space that features two walls of sliders that open up to an outdoor lounging space among the treetops.
The first bedroom has great hillside views. Imagine waking up the beauty of Los Feliz every morning.
If you know me, you know I love a period vintage bathroom that reflects the design of the time. You’ll love this one too. It’s classic and cute, without being too over-the-top.
The second bedroom has its own outdoor patio.
You’ll love the idea of waking up, swinging the patio door open and taking a deep breath of the mountain air. And it truly does feel like “mountain air” up here in Los Feliz Oaks.
Built in 1952, 5605 Hill Oak Drive represents the very best in mid-century modern design. This home is all about sharp lines and clean edges.
The covered deck offers a wonderful place to relax or entertain. Notice the stunning mid-century flourishes that are becoming increasingly more difficult to find in Los Angeles.
Original and authentic, this is the kind of home that only appears once in a lifetime.
Close to amazing hiking in Griffith Park, sunset viewings at the Griffith Observatory, and all of the restaurants and shops in Los Feliz Village and Franklin Village, 5605 Hill Oak Drive is one of my absolute favorite homes in the neighborhood. Let’s go see this mid-century beauty!
