Breathe... Welcome to 'Le Secret' in Whitley Heights, a rare sanctuary of elegance perched on LA's most romantic hill. Nestled among whispering eucalyptus trees, this southeast corner three-bedroom, two-bathroom end-unit townhome offers a rare, expansive outdoor terrace, ideal for creating a retreat for relaxation, meditation, and rejuvenation. Set in the heart of Whitley Heights, this exclusive 9-unit Spanish-style community is surrounded by historically and architecturally significant homes that echo Hollywood's golden era. The secluded top-of-hill location ensures peace, yet vibrant cultural experiences are just a stroll away Michelin-starred dining, historic theaters, live music venues, avant-garde cafes, and unique destinations that embody the allure of Hollywood. Enter through a formal foyer into a breathtaking living space with 24-foot cathedral ceilings that tower above. Anchored by a warm gas fireplace, the room is illuminated by Palladian windows that frame serene views of tree canopies and blue skies. Step onto the charming balcony to savor your morning coffee or evening wine, a perfect prelude to the terrace below. The formal dining space is adjacent to the living area, showcasing tall ceilings and a large picture window, offering soothing views of the verdant outdoors, and a spacious kitchen with extensive cabinetry and space for a mobile island to meet your culinary needs. On the separate master retreat level, discover a haven of relaxation. A cozy fireplace, a seating area, and an expansive walk-in closet create a suite of comfort. The en-suite bathroom boasts double vanities, LED-defogger mirrors, and a soaking tub with a shower. Sliding glass doors lead to the crown jewel of this home: the extraordinarily large terrace, ideal for creating your private haven for quiet reflection. Ascend back up to the common area level and continue on to an open mezzanine, a versatile space that captures treetop views and glimpses of the city skyline and the Hollywood Hills - perfect for a family room or TV lounging area overlooking the rest of the home. A spacious guest bedroom with a walk-in closet and a nearby bathroom offers comfort and privacy at this level. Just a few steps higher, a second mezzanine with soaring 10-foot+ ceilings and skyline views serves as either a third bedroom or the perfect, commanding home office. Finally, the convenience of a private driveway at the front of the complex ensures easy access to guest parking spots for your visitors, which will have your family and friends stopping by whenever! 'Le Secret' is more than a townhome: it's a rare invitation to embrace a life of single-family-like comfort and privacy, timeless elegance, and endless serenity in the heart of Los Angeles.
