672 Amalfi Drive

Behind a private walled-and-gated entry in the Riviera south of Sunset, this charming single-level ranch sits on a nearly flat 14,031 sqft rim lot with long canyon and Riviera Country Club fairway views. Lots like this, both flat and facing the view, are hard to find in the neighborhood. The home has about 3,751 sq ft with 5 bedrooms and 4 baths, and it has kept its period character. An entry leads into a bright great room with a wood-burning fireplace, board-and-batten walls, and walnut sliders that open onto the pool terrace. The formal dining room is wrapped in glass and looks out to a quiet courtyard. Next to it, the skylit kitchen has Shaker cabinets, double ovens, stainless appliances, and a breakfast nook. A separate wing holds a family room with a second fireplace, and its own terrace. The primary suite opens straight to the backyard and includes a large walk-in closet and a remodeled marble bath. The rest of the home includes four more bedrooms, 2 baths, a wet bar, and an attached two-car garage, plus room for four more cars on the brick-paver drive. Outside, there's a classic mid-century pool, a covered loggia along the view side, mature landscaping, and board-formed concrete walls with a built-in teak bench. The house is comfortable to live in now and leaves real long-term upside on the land. Palisades Village, Will Rogers State Park, and Santa Monica Canyon dining are all close by, and the home is in the Canyon Elementary attendance area.
