Built in 1935, the home at 5637 La Gorce Dr. presents the perfect canvas for a masterful renovation, retaining its classic architecture while incorporating new modern amenities. Offered at $1,349,000 and situated within close proximity to top schools, boutiques, restaurants and the famed La Gorce Golf Course, it’s a picture-perfect setting for fine living.

Constructed with privacy in mind, the entire property is surrounded by lush landscaping. The two-story home measures 3,582 square feet in the interior and has a separate guesthouse.
