13027 Blairwood Drive

STUDIO CITY | 4 BEDROOMS | 4,996 SQ. FT.

Known as Chateau Marguerite, this classic Umbrian-inspired estate not only delights in the breathtaking scenery from a wealth of floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding glass doors, but also is graced with its very own vineyard. Found in the hills of the coveted Longridge Estates community, on the border of Studio City and Sherman Oaks, the private, gated retreat offers rows upon rows of Cabernet grapevines from Napa Valley’s acclaimed Quintessa vineyard.

The current owners contracted with local vintners Grape Expectations to prepare the land, plant the vines, install irrigation and maintain the harvest (which yields 12 cases of delicious Cabernet Sauvignon a year). “It’s so unique to entertain family and friends, drinking your own wine while enjoying these incredibly beautiful views,” says listing agent Craig Knizek of The Agency.

Adding to the property’s resort-like appeal: a show-stopping kitchen recently updated with new cabinetry and hardware; a one-of-a-kind master suite boasting an office, gym, and dual spa-like baths; separate guest house; and an expansive outdoor space hosting fountains, a sparkling pool, and spa, and built-in-barbecue.

HANCOCK PARK | 6 BEDROOMS | 8,308 SQ. FT.

At a time when many people are focused on spending more time at home, this grand Hancock Park estate spread out over one-and-a-half lots on more than a half-acre of land in the historic Windsor Park neighborhood has all of the amenities necessary to live, work, exercise, play, cook and entertain without ever stepping foot off of the property.

“There are two offices, a gym, a billiard room, a family room with a full bar, an eat-in kitchen and butler’s pantry, and spacious bedrooms,” says listing agent Juliette Hohnen of Douglas Elliman.

“And the large, flat lot has a massive pool, grassy lawn, pergola-covered outdoor dining area, and two detached guest houses, all surrounded by lush landscaping and fruit trees.”

Among the highlights: “A recently remodeled gym that would give Equinox a run for its money,” says Hohnen, along with a striking two-story foyer with a decorative staircase; a massive, light-filled family room that serves as the central hub of the home; opulent master retreat sporting a seating area with fireplace, office, indulgent bath, and large walk-in closet; and finally, a duo of detached guest houses.
