About this single-family home
Step into the pages of a fairy tale with this enchanting English Country Cottage nestled in the idyllic Hollywood Hills. Impeccably restored by the long-term owner, this home exudes timeless charm with hardwood floors, a cozy wood-burning fireplace, and two full kitchens equipped with all appliances, including a large pantry and stackable washer/dryers. With newer split system heat/air conditioning in every main room, this property offers the perfect layout for multi-generational living or accommodating in-laws. There are 2 engaging loft spaces accessed by spiral staircases, 1 of which used to be a Speakeasy! The outdoor space expands your peaceful enjoyment with a large, gated front brick courtyard, shaded by majestic trees, and an adjacent dining/bbq area just steps from your kitchen. There is also an interior, sunny brick courtyard and garden area, offering privacy and seclusion. This magical home was designed by architect, Frederick Alexander Hanson, who was also responsible for designing sets for Hollywood movies. The storybook style, a nod towards Hollywood design, is technically referred to as Provincial Revivalism but more commonly known as Fairy Tale or Hansel and Gretel. This architectural style, popularized in the 1920s, is characterized by its whimsical and playful elements, such as sloping roofs, irregular shapes, and intricate details. It perfectly complements the tranquil setting of the Los Feliz Oaks area, creating a romantic atmosphere that is sure to capture your heart. Don't miss the opportunity to live in this one-of-a-kind home that seamlessly blends historic charm with modern comfort. Note there are 2 addresses to the property, 5850 and 5852 Tuxedo Terrace. Surrounded by equestrian trails, hiking paths, and playgrounds, this tranquil retreat offers the ideal setting to fuel your inner peace and creative energy. Don't miss the chance to call this utopian home yours!
