From the Agent: "History comes home to Franklin Hills. Tucked between the restaurants, coffee shops, and boutiques of Los Feliz & Silver Lake and atop one of the 14 secret staircases the area is known for, sits a secret oasis built by brothers Harold and Paul Young almost 100 years ago. This remodeled home takes natural light, privacy, and views to new levels. Loaded with character and details at every turn, 3914 Sunset Drive proves that what’s old is very much new again. The living room features floor-to-ceiling casement windows, graceful arches, plaster walls, and hardwood floors that flow seamlessly into the kind of dining room where meals are meant to be savored as the sun sets through a canopy of banana palms."

Thick vegetation encloses the sage-green home, allowing it to merge with its surroundings.
