Courtyard Classic in Toluca Lake! With so much of its period detailing intact, "Atomic Ranch" is a fitting moniker for this hidden gem in Toluca Lake built in 1958 in the modern ranch style for George & Violet Tharpe by custom home builder Armand Le Tourneau. The tree lined wide estate-like gated private drive leads to the 50's carport, and the central courtyard around which the house is built. Upon entry one is struck by the light filled and generous scale of the living space. The living room displays a pitched wood beam ceiling, a grand real wood burning fireplace, and is open to the adjacent family room. Wide glass sliders unite the Living Room and Courtyard for indoor-outdoor entertaining.
