About this single-family home
A rare gem of a home. This enchanting, immaculately updated 1920s Spanish is a true sanctuary in the hills. This California contemporary house unfolds to a rare, private lifestyle. Stepping through the sleek wood entry gate, the house greets you with colorful original tiles and its cheerful red door. Spend mornings in your lush front garden surrounded by greenery and the soothing sounds of your mosaic tile fountain. Original wide plank hardwood floors connect the dramatic facade of the entry hall to an open and airy layout infused with natural light and boasting Old Hollywood city views. The spacious floor plan makes for easy and inviting entertaining, with the kitchen, dining, and living room flowing from one to the next. Open the French doors off the kitchen to snip fresh herbs from the front yard or hear the fountain as you cook. Carrara marble countertops, Thermador chef's range, Schoolhouse Electric pendants, and custom distressed wood shelving make this tastefully designed kitchen a delight to spend time in for the chef and novice alike. Enjoy cozy nights nestled in the living room with the gas fireplace on, watching the city lights shimmer. Enjoy warm days lounging in the sunroom and come face to face with the hummingbirds who visit the orange bougainvillea on the other side of your large window. Or walk outside on the balcony underneath the avocado tree and greet them yourself. This home features 2 bedrooms and 2 en-suite baths. Custom double doors lead into the primary suite which offers a Serena & Lily light fixture, Croft House shelf, walk-in closet, balcony with city and backyard views, and a tranquil bathroom bathed in light. A second bedroom offers spectacular morning light and views of a grand spruce. Original solid wood doors, iron doorknobs and lovingly restored double pane windows celebrate this home's original charm. With modern comforts like a Nest thermostat, Rainbird drip system, and organized custom cabinetry, every detail has been thought of for a curated turnkey experience. And with earthquake retrofitting, new insulation, and a whole host of unseen updates, this home is as solid as it is beautiful. Surrounded by serene landscaping with an emphasis on California native plants, a picturesque setting with the dream outdoor space awaits you in the backyard. Multiple entertainment areas under the well-manicured avocado, fig, bamboo, and king palm trees create a magical oasis in the midst of the city. Imagine throwing spectacular dinner parties or summer BBQs in this gorgeous, peaceful, and secluded space. Or go out, with the Hollywood Bowl, Musso & Frank's, and the famous Sunday Hollywood Farmers' Market all within walking distance. This home has an energy and serenity that is truly special.
