Located just north of Brentwood Park, adjacent to the private Oakmont enclave and near Kenter Canyon Elementary, 676 Elkins Road offers approximately 13,468 square feet of land in one of Brentwood's most established residential neighborhoods. Set slightly above street level, with more than 100 feet of frontage and a circular driveway, the property presents two compelling possibilities: a future owner may reimagine this vintage 1955 single-story ranch residence, while a developer may envision an entirely new home befitting this exceptional setting. The property is offered at approximately $285 per square foot of land. For the future owner, the existing single-story residence offers approximately 2,872 square feet with three bedrooms, three bathrooms and a two-car garage. Built in 1955, the home features a well-proportioned floor plan, an expansive layout and original midcentury details throughout. Double entry doors open to a central foyer and formal dining room with a bay window overlooking Elkins Road. The principal living areas include a spacious formal living room, a family room with a decorative fireplace, and a den overlooking the pool. A wood-paneled wet bar with stained-glass cabinetry provides another distinctive period detail. The kitchen retains much of its original 1950s character, including wood cabinetry, double ovens, generous counter space and a built-in brick charcoal barbecue with a chimney-style enclosure. The fireplace and built-in barbecue are decorative period features and are included in their present as-is condition, with no representation as to operability. The kitchen opens to a breakfast nook with backyard access and views of the pool. A separate laundry room connects the kitchen to the garage, which offers high ceilings, built-in shelving and additional storage. The light-filled primary suite features expansive windows, ample closet space and a bathroom with a soaking tub, separate shower, dual vanities and dedicated makeup station. A secondary bedroom is currently used as an office, while a third, more privately situated bedroom, historically used as guest quarters, has access to a bathroom that also serves the pool area. Altogether, the single-level floor plan lends itself to comfortable living and entertaining, with considerable flexibility for modernization and reconfiguration. The private backyard is centered around an approximately 35-by-17-foot swimming pool with a separate spa, mature landscaping, generous hardscape and an elevated patio for outdoor dining. Several rooms overlook or open directly to the pool, creating a natural connection between the interior living spaces and outdoor entertaining areas. For the developer, the property's RE40-1-H zoning, substantial frontage, scale and setting present an opportunity to design a new residence in a highly desirable Brentwood location. The rear of the property adjoins the Oakmont private road and is subject to a recorded easement. Buyers should independently verify zoning, allowable floor area, easements, access and all development potential with the appropriate professionals and governmental agencies. Square footage and lot size are approximate and derived from public records; buyer to verify all information independently. Property is being sold in its present as-is condition.
Brentwood, located between Santa Monica and Bel Air, is a residential and commercial Los Angeles neighborhood with leafy streets and hillside views. San Vicente Boulevard sets the tone, with espresso bars, produce stands, and polished boutiques clustered around the Brentwood Country Mart. Architectural character ranges from mid-century ranch homes to contemporary builds tucked behind mature hedges. The Getty Center crowns the nearby ridge with galleries and gardens that shape the area’s cultural gravity. Brentwood Country Mart and the Skirball Cultural Center act as local pillars for shopping, dining, and exhibitions. Barrington Recreation Center and the wide sidewalks along San Vicente support an outdoors-forward daily rhythm.
