5136 LOS BONITOS WAY, LOS ANGELES CA 90027

There's nothing like a good quote. For example, in the immortal words of Hall of Famer Yogi Berra: "If you don't know where you are going, you might wind up someplace else." Hmmm. One of my personal favorites comes from Mae West: "You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough." Some quotes make us laugh. Others make us pause. The best ones do both -- and leave us thinking. These two gems? They're more than clever quips. They're subtle nudges toward a life well-lived. And what better place to live it than ABOVE THE BOULEVARD in Los Feliz, in one of the area's most coveted enclaves: THE ESTATES. Pull up to this 4BR / 3.5BA traditional and feel it instantly -- comfort, familiarity, ease. Not flashy. Not overdone. Just timeless charm on a corner lot lined with brick sidewalks and pretty landscaping. Step inside, take in the dramatic 17' ceiling, and bathe in the gorgeous natural light. Freshly painted & featuring newer carpet throughout, neatly trimmed balustrades above immediately capture attention. Turn left and see French doors leading into an expansive Living Room w/ wood beams + fireplace; attached find unique indoor/outdoor space ideal for home solarium + evening breezes. A spacious family room features a built-in bar, ideal for football Sundays or award-season soirees. A formal dining room accommodates gatherings of any size, while the kitchen offers everything you need, plus a sunny breakfast nook that invites lingering conversations. The attached two-car garage includes oversized storage closets -- Costco runs welcome. Out back, enjoy a private oasis with pool, hot tub, mature foliage, and direct views of the Griffith Observatory; oversized BBQ area doubles as a play space for pets or a canvas for your outdoor vision. Upstairs, the dramatic staircase leads to 4 well-placed bedrooms; serene primary suite includes an en-suite bath with dual vanities, soaking tub, shower, and generous closet space; 3 additional bedrooms are nearby -- but just far enough for privacy. Move-in ready or primed for your own customization, this home offers the rare chance to live with intention and comfort. As Yogi said, you don't want to end up someplace else. And Mae? She'd tell you this is how you do it right. Life ABOVE THE BOULEVARD is calling.
