2227 Outpost Dr, Los Angeles, CA 90068

Sited behind walls and hedges on approximately 1/2 acre, this home is the epitome of understated sophistication. Originally conceived in 1935 by Charles E. Toberman, the home has been thoroughly re-imagined. One enters the property through grand double doors topped with gargoyles reputed to have been placed by previous owner, Bela Lugosi. Once within the compound walls, you feel the serenity of well-manicured landscaping and water features.  An elegant foyer leads to the living room set a few steps down and warmed by natural light from the 9-foot French doors that open to the pool area. Across the foyer is the dining room and large eat-in kitchen with enormous fireplace and built-in breakfast booth. Tucked off the staircase landing is a study and a powder room. The upper level includes a master suite plus 3 additional bedrooms and 2 baths. This rare property is completed by a poolhouse and guest house (each with a fullbath), outdoor kitchen, dining pergola with fireplace, pool and spa.
