Previously owned by actors Emily Blunt and John Krasinski, this 3,657-square-foot, four-bedroom, 3 1/2-bathroom home with a two-car garage is situated on a double-wide 16,243-square-foot lot. Just off Mulholland Drive, it’s an easy drive to Los Angeles and nearby schools and shopping, while serving as a very private and tranquil sanctuary with a sweeping view of the nearby foothills.

The open layout includes a formal dining room immediately adjacent to the kitchen, with an office/family room beyond.

Constructed in 1965, the residence has been extensively renovated into a compact resort. Located on a quiet cul-de-sac, the property is essentially invisible from the street, buffered from view by mature trees, well-tended landscaping, and an entry gate. A path of fieldstones bordered by delightful topiary leads to the front door.

The home is set on a very private .37 acre lot that's completely buffered by mature trees and landscaping.

Inside, the foyer reveals warm wood flooring with skylights above, framed by exposed wood beams and equipped with retractable motorized blinds to let the sunshine in. To the left are a cavernous walk-in closet and a laundry room, with four bedrooms and three bathrooms beyond. The very spacious master bedroom has a glass wall and easy access to the patio and pool area, as well as an oversized bathroom featuring a soaking tub and multi-jetted walk-in shower. One guest room enjoys a private bathroom, while the other two share a well-appointed bathroom.

Going forward into the home past the half-bathroom for guests, the floorplan opens with the kitchen off to one side, equipped with SubZero, Wolf, and Miele appliances; a food-preparation island; and ample countertops that include an area for casual meals. Exposed beams above are illuminated by inset lighting and decorative hanging lights. To the left of the kitchen is the dining room, which is separated from the adjacent office or family room by a half wall. To the other side of the kitchen is the home’s casually comfortable living room, accented by a fireplace and windows looking out over the nearby hills. Outside, a saltwater pool is ideal for swimming laps, while an adjacent covered patio with shaded lounging areas is situated to provide a view of the nearby hills.
