Set behind gates in the Hollywood Hills above Lake Hollywood, 3396 Tareco Drive is a private view home with a pool and a rare flat backyard, the kind of residence that makes it easy to forget you are in the middle of Los Angeles. Panoramic city and mountain views stretch across nearly every room, while walls of glass open the house to decks, a private pool and beautifully landscaped grounds.The main living level is designed around the view, with an open kitchen, dining and family room that feels equally suited to slow mornings at the oversized island or evenings spent entertaining friends. Hardwood floors run throughout, bringing warmth and continuity to the interiors. The chef's kitchen features Italian cabinetry, Viking appliances, generous prep and gathering space, and a nearby wine closet. A modern fireplace anchors the room, while floor-to-ceiling glass fills the space with light and frames the Los Angeles skyline beyond.Downstairs, the living and dining rooms open directly to a large view terrace where an outdoor fire pit creates a natural gathering place for dinner, drinks and evenings overlooking the city lights. Two en-suite bedrooms on this level offer privacy for family, guests or a home office.The primary suite feels like its own escape, with a fireplace, expansive dressing room and spa-like bath with a freestanding soaking tub and oversized rain shower. Sliding glass doors lead straight to the pool and sun deck, making a morning swim or an afternoon outside part of everyday life.Beyond the pool, olive and cypress trees and multiple outdoor spaces create a surprisingly lush and private setting in the hills. A private, flat backyard, a rare find for a hillside home in the Hollywood Hills, offers room to dine outside, entertain, garden or simply spend the afternoon in the sun.The home is a short walk to the Lake Hollywood Reservoir and its hiking trails, with the Hollywood Bowl, Universal Studios, the Burbank studios and the San Fernando Valley all within easy reach. It feels tucked away in the hills, but the city is never far.
