12835 Parkyns, Los Angeles, CA 90049

12835 Parkyns offers Brentwood Park living on a grand scale, in exceptional privacy. Tall motorized gates open to a courtyard framed by white brick architecture and mature greenery. Towering hedges surround the just over 25,000-square-foot property, screening neighboring homes from view and giving the grounds a sense of quiet seclusion. Extensively renovated by notable architect Ken Ungar, this traditional residence has been thoughtfully adapted for contemporary living, with 12,732 square feet arranged across just two levels. The scale is apparent from the entry: impressive ceiling heights, substantial rooms, and large windows that fill the interiors with light. Rich stained oak floors, elegant wainscot paneling, and refined architectural details bring warmth and sophistication throughout. Just as compelling is the floor plan, with distinct spaces for entertaining and everyday life that connect where they should. An office, sophisticated speakeasy with a lacquered cocktail bar, wine cellar, theater, dining room, and fireside great room occupy one side of the main level, with doors opening to the grounds. On the other, an expansive kitchen appointed with Calacatta marble countertops, separate walk-in pantry, and adjoining family room form the everyday heart of the home. Upstairs, the primary suite occupies a retreat of its own, featuring two distinct, beautifully appointed private wings. One offers a private office, dual walk-in closets, and a bright, generously proportioned bathroom centered around a statement tub. The second includes an additional substantial walk-in closet and direct access to the gym, with the option to restore a seventh bedroom. Three additional spacious bedrooms and a separate family lounge continue the sense of room to spread out. A split-level section provides a library or homework room, a full laundry room, and staff quarters with a dedicated living room and bedroom that can be closed off from the main household. An oversized three-car garage adds ample storage. Outside, the broad lawn is a defining feature - an inviting stretch of green with room for an afternoon of games or a large gathering. King palms rise above the pool and spa, while multiple dining and lounge areas offer places to settle in throughout the day. Mature hedging encloses it all, making the backyard feel as private as the arrival. Turnkey, with upgraded security and an exceptional North Brentwood Park location, this estate offers the rare combination of remarkable scale, timeless elegance, and complete privacy, all moments from Brentwood Country Mart, Brentwood Village, and the acclaimed dining, boutiques, and cafes along San Vicente Boulevard.
