About 5944 Manola Way
Set in the hillside of Beachwood Canyon, this thoughtfully restored Spanish Colonial Revival residence captures the appeal of its 1924 origins while embracing modern functionality. The home's original bones immediately stand out, from beautiful old windows and Batchelder-style tiled fireplaces to graceful archways and built-in details that reflect the craftsmanship of another era. Positioned high enough to enjoy sweeping views yet still connected to the neighborhood and city below, the home offers a rare sense of calm. Sunrise views from the bedrooms unfold across the canyon, creating a peaceful morning ritual. The thoughtful layout creates a seamless flow to the interior while emphasizing light, space, and views throughout. The interior features a bright, open layout with refinished white oak flooring, restored original windows and doors, and fresh interior and exterior paint. Recessed lighting enhances the main living areas and primary suite, while curated fixtures and architectural details add warmth. The kitchen blends performance and design with Taj Mahal leathered quartzite countertops, new soft-close cabinetry, and gorgeous Energy Star appliances, including a GE Cafe range, refrigerator, dishwasher drawers, and an LG washer and dryer. A vintage Murano chandelier adds a distinctive entry moment. Major systems have been updated, including a new roof with a 20 year warranty, a two-zone energy-efficient HVAC system with smart thermostats, an energy-efficient electric water heater, updated plumbing and electrical, a new electrical panel, foundation bolting and structural reinforcement, and a newly lined sewer main with a 25 year guarantee. Outdoor living extends the home's design with French drains, drought-tolerant landscaping with drip irrigation, exterior utility hookups for a future patio kitchen, a custom front entry gate, and a custom mahogany garage door. The terraced garden and patio create a private backyard oasis. Located in a scenic hillside setting with convenient access to Gelson's, The Oaks Market and Cafe, dining, cultural destinations, and outdoor amenities, this residence offers classic Los Angeles architecture enhanced by thoughtful upgrades, views, and a seamless indoor-outdoor connection.
