The house at 130 North Bristol Avenue was built in 1924 and sits well back from one of Brentwood Park's best-known streets, behind tall gates and deep hedges, on more than half an acre. A recent remodel kept its Traditional character, and most rooms open through French doors to terraces, balconies and the garden.

Most of that half acre is garden. Old-growth trees shade a wide lawn and the motor court, used-brick paths run through an organic kitchen garden, and the beds hold more than 400 varieties of heirloom roses. There is a pool and spa, an outdoor kitchen and a detached artist's studio.

Inside are five wood-burning fireplaces and wood ceilings, the tallest over the library. The plan runs through a formal entry and staircase, the library, formal living and dining rooms, a family room and an eat-in kitchen with its own fireplace.

There are four bedrooms and four and a half baths. The primary suite has a fireplace, a terrace over the garden and pool, a marble bath, two fitted closets and an office, with a den upstairs.
