About this property
Set on nearly half an acre south of the boulevard, 4901 Palo Drive offers a refined take on California ranch living in a coveted Tarzana hillside setting. Polished and exceptionally livable, the residence combines architectural character, beautifully updated interiors and expansive private grounds. Recently renovated with a sophisticated yet comfortable aesthetic, this 3,338 square-foot residence pairs generous proportions with warm, modern finishes and an effortless connection to its surroundings. Inside, expansive living spaces are filled with natural light, where vaulted ceilings and exposed wood beams add warmth, character and architectural dimension. Designed to transition easily from everyday living to entertaining, the interiors feel open and inviting without sacrificing a sense of intimacy. At the center is a beautifully appointed chef's kitchen featuring Viking appliances, custom cabinetry, quartz countertops and a casual breakfast area. An adjoining formal dining space creates a more intimate setting for dinner parties, while a stylish built-in bar adds another layer of function to the main living area. Three spacious bedrooms offer privacy and flexibility, including a serene primary suite distinguished by vaulted wood beam ceilings along with a walk-in closet and generously scaled bath. Two bedrooms are en suite, and a versatile bonus room provides valuable additional space for a home office, media room, gym or 4th bedroom. Outdoors, the expansive grounds are a standout. Mature landscaping and a broad, private backyard create a peaceful setting with ample room for entertaining, dining outdoors, recreation and enjoying the Southern California lifestyle. The property's generous lot size and hillside location give the home a sense of space and privacy that is increasingly difficult to find. An attached two-car garage completes the residence. Ideally positioned in one of Tarzana's desirable south-of-the-boulevard neighborhoods, the home offers convenient access to Ventura Boulevard's restaurants and shopping, nearby hiking and recreation, and highly regarded schools.
