Built in 1955 by the Alexander Construction Company is this
Palmer & Krisel-designed home in the “Eastwood Estates” potion of Corbin
Palms in Woodland Hills, CA. With four bedrooms and two-and-a-half bathrooms in
1,624 square feet, this home once owned by Ish Kabibble sits on a large 16,100
square-foot lot and carries an asking price of $649,500.

Situated on Corbin Avenue, this east-facing home sits deep
on its lot, far back from the street, a distinct feature of the 13 Palmer &
Krisel homes built as Eastwood Estates, the fifth phase of Corbin Palms. The
front yard has recently undergone a drought-friendly makeover, with gravel
mulch and a smattering of random shrubs. A pair of mature olive trees sit near
the base of the home, and a stacked brick wall separates the carport from the
front yard.

The front door sits midway along the south side of the home,
and opens into a small foyer with dark glazed brick tiles. The rear-facing
living room appears to feature its original parquet floors and high, open
beamed celotex clings. The original fireplace is still there, but has long been
veneered with stone accents and a black tile hearth. Large floor-to-ceiling
windows and clerestories overlook the backyard patio, while the dining room
niche sits adjacent.

The kitchen sits at the rear corner of the home, and has
been updated at some point over the last 30 years, with flat faced cabinets,
laminate counters and black appliances. The former den adjacent to the entry
and kitchen has been converted to a laundry room, open to the kitchen with built-in
cabinetry and vintage swag globe.

A small jack and jill half bath sits off the entry, and
features it’s original medicine cabinet and angled mirror, and accesses a
secondary bedroom. The master bedroom sits at the northeast corner of the home,
and provides its own private patio and features an nearly all original en-suite
bath, with a tile countertop appearing to be the only update. The guest bath
has been fully updated in a simple, traditional materials while an additional
secondary bedroom sits at the front of the home.

The backyard features an enormous covered entertaining patio
with vintage slatting, shielding the west-facing living and dining rooms from
western sun. The backyard is large and open, with the driveway running along
the south side of the yard, and a tool shed against the western wall. A mature
shade tree sits near the home while the rest of the backyard space is wide open
and grassy.
This home is a great opportunity for those looking for a
large lot midmod home. There’s still plenty of great original detailing lending
character and worthy of preservation, while still providing room to make this
home shine again.
