Steeped in history and rich in character, this remarkable estate once owned by Walter Matthauis now available for immediate occupancy as a fully furnished short-term retreat. Tucked behind gates within the coveted Sherwood Forest neighborhood, the private compound offers a rare sense of serenity, seclusion, and inspiration in the heart of Los Angeles.

Generous living and dining spaces are centered around a cozy fireplace, while the country kitchen features a Wolf range, sunny breakfast area, and seamless connection to the surrounding grounds.

A standout feature of the estate is the detached pool house, an exceptionally versatile space that can serve as a professional recording studio, creative workspace, private office, guest quarters, or personal retreat. Complete with its own bathroom, kitchenette, and sleeping area, it provides remarkable flexibility for a variety of uses.Beyond the residences, the grounds evoke the feeling of a hidden botanical oasis. Mature fruit trees, raised garden beds, towering palms, and a sparkling swimmer's pool create a setting that feels worlds away from city life.
