About 2614 Rutherford Drive
This whimsical French Normandy residence, circa 1926, by John T. Bibb (whose notable work includes The Castle House - Glendale Register #7), rests on an elevated street-to-street oversized triple-lot, and offers privacy, iconic views, an expansive magical backyard and multiple terraces. This original Hollywoodland jewel will transport you to a bygone era, where time seems to slow down, away from the hustle and bustle of modern life. Upon entering, a graceful curved staircase leads you to the main level. From there, the open layout unfolds harmoniously, balancing old-world elegance and comfortable living: a stunning light-filled living room, featuring vaulted ceilings, sweeping views of the canyons, city lights and beyond, a delightful built-in bench seating and an alluring fireplace. Multiple French doors blurring the line between indoor and outdoor, open to an oversized deck with dining and lounging areas, ideal for entertaining, relaxing, or lingering beneath the stars. As you explore the grounds further, a grassy yard and upper lot stretching up to Hollyridge Drive, provide additional space for recreation, expansion, and a blank slate for your vision. The floor plan connects the dining room to the well-appointed kitchen, fitted with generous counter space and ample cabinetry. A bedroom and full bathroom complete the upper floor. When it's time to unwind, retreat downstairs to the light-filled primary bedroom, a sanctuary bathed in golden light, with a walk-in closet. A third bedroom with a walk-in closet, a renovated bathroom, a flex bonus room, a third generous walk-in closet, a 2-car garage tucked below the house, and a separate storage room with wine fridge round out this unique home. Ideally situated on a quiet cul-de-sac, comprising 3 separate parcels totaling about 9,600 square feet, steps to Griffith Park's trails, a short walk to beloved Beachwood Village, Franklin Village, the Hollywood Farmers Market and near world-class dining, shopping, and entertainment. Elegant in scale and remarkably inviting, the entire residence feels like a carefully curated treasure, blending warmth and bohemian spirit. This incredible property is a once in a lifetime opportunity that beautifully captures the romance and artistry of Hollywood's golden age.
