2-Bedroom Residential - 3134 Ellington Drive, Los Angeles, CA

Description

A storybook retreat in the lower Hollywood Hills. Built in the 1920s, this enchanting residence has been thoughtfully reimagined while still honoring the homes' historic architectural character and craftsmanship that make it truly special. Influenced by the romance of English Cottage and Tudor Revival design, this distinguished gem offers an extraordinary blend of timeless elegance, warmth, and modern livability. From the moment you enter, the home reveals its personality. The inviting living room is adorned with exposed ceiling beams, ornate stained-glass windows, and beautifully preserved hardwood floors, while an elegant, arched passageway leads gracefully into the dining room featuring floor-to-ceiling windows. The dining room flows effortlessly into a spacious kitchen, where classic charm meets a fresh, modern perspective, highlighted by a new stainless-steel Viking range, abundant cabinetry, and a cozy breakfast nook. Down the hallway are two generously sized bedrooms, including a serene primary suite with dual closets. Positioned perfectly between the bedrooms, the beautifully appointed full bath is a true haven, featuring a spa-like glass enclosed shower and a clawfoot soaking tub nestled between two exquisite stained-glass windows. Outside, discover your own private enclave. The peaceful backyard is framed by mature trees and established landscaping, creating a sense of privacy and tranquility rarely found so close to the city. Two distinct patio areas offer endless possibilities, from entertaining beneath the trees and string lights to enjoying a quiet afternoon in the sun. Beautiful exterior brickwork further enhances the home's storybook English-Country aesthetic, while a dedicated side yard provides an idyllic space for cultivating herbs, vegetables, or a garden of colorful blooms. Perhaps the property's most exceptional feature is its two-level guest house along with its own separate entrance, complete with a full bath, kitchenette, closet and loft. Whether envisioned as a private area for guests, creative studio, workspace, or flexible living space, it adds a remarkable layer of versatility and opportunity. A long driveway provides plentiful off-street parking, an especially valuable amenity in this coveted hillside setting. Rich with history yet thoughtfully adapted for modern living, this is a rare opportunity to own a home with genuine architectural soul. Ideally situated near some of Los Angeles' most prominent entertainment studios, including Universal, NBC, and Warner Bros., this captivating property offers a magical sense of escape while remaining wonderfully connected to the energy and culture of the city.
