About this home

Lovingly dubbed The Barrel House of Bel Air, built circa 1949, step into a mid-century cottage unlike any other. Through the foyer, you enter a dining room that acts as the heart of the home. Bright and airy, it is accented by box-beam ceilings and built-in shelving surrounding a picture window with canyon views. Stepping along the original peg-and-board hardwood floors, you arrive at the living room where you'll find the defining feature of the residence: a barrel-vaulted ceiling. Covered in wood, it showcases a level of craftsmanship from a bygone era. Moving to the back of the public spaces is the kitchen, drenched in sunlight through three large skylights and garden-box windows. The primary bedroom is a serene retreat that invites the body and mind to wind down. Through its walkthrough closet you enter the en suite. Recently redesigned, the bathroom is a true showstopper, featuring Zia tile, a large soaking tub, and marble countertops at the dual sink vanity. Outside you’ll find a brick patio, perfect for entertaining and enjoying the natural surroundings. Step up from the side yard to access Dellwood Lane, an ideal route for walking the dog or taking a meditative stroll. On Oletha, you're within minutes of Glen Centre, a vibrant community hub featuring Vibrato, a world-class jazz club, along with neighborhood favorites like Beverly Glen Deli and Jayde's Market. Travel a short distance north to enjoy the restaurants and offerings along Ventura in Sherman Oaks, or head south to Sunset. The home is conveniently close to Beverly Hills and Century City. In addition, the property is situated within the highly rated Roscomare Road Elementary School boundary.
