Gray-scale pavers perk up a front patio and walkway off the widened driveway of a renovated 1950 ranch. The north-facing Larchmont property is on a street blocked from nearby Chimney Rock Rd. by the neighborhood’s border fence, though gates do allow pedestrian access; there’s also a sound buffering barrier beyond the homes on the street behind this one, which back up to a stretch of the Southwest Fwy. feeder road.
