Property information can be viewed at 4420 Westway

Situated on a shaded street filled with historic, 1930s Mediterraneans, the home at 4420 Westway represents one of the most beautiful. The five-bedroom, four-bath home lends itself to an artistic and comfortable lifestyle. This Highland Park property is listed by Briggs Freeman’s LeeLee Gioia and Anne Goyer for $1,495,000.

"This home is a discovery, from its original slate-floored entry with leaded glass windows to its red-tiled roof and beautiful archways throughout," said Ms. Goyer. The historic property was converted from a duplex to a single-family home in 1995, boasting sophisticated updates while keeping its original charm.

Lush greenery, including a towering tree shading much of the home, welcomes one to the front entry. A deep, wrap-around veranda extends to the side of the house.

The foyer – large enough for a grand piano – overlooks the front yard through a large leaded-glass bow window from which light shines into the formal living room. This first of the formals is defined by wonderful proportions, a gracious fireplace, original hardwood floors and built-in bookshelves. A bay window in the formal dining room beyond provides great charm.

Just recently updated and nominated for a design award, the chef’s kitchen features a sleek look with bamboo cabinetry, concrete countertops and top-of-the-line appliances. Connected to a breakfast nook, this area flows into a spacious living area and rear gallery. French doors open to a tranquil patio with a miniature pond, abundant foliage and landscape lighting.

Two large bedrooms in the east wing complete the downstairs.

The wide staircase off the entry leads to the spacious upstairs living area currently used as an exercise room. The master suite shows off the ambience of the architecture with its mixture of hardwoods and multi-colored, slate tile flooring, separated by a broad archway that defines the bedroom from its front sitting area. Five floor-to-ceiling, leaded windows mirror the first-floor entry bow window and fill the suite with natural light. The suite also features a fireplace, arched built-in bookcases and an outdoor balcony with wrought iron railings. The large master bathroom has been updated and offers a room-sized, walk-in closet.

Two additional bedrooms – one with a sitting room – are located upstairs, each with a full bathroom. A light-filled corner study could be used as a sixth bedroom.
