Description
Gracefully positioned on a tree-lined street in the coveted Miracle Mile North HPOZ, this 1933 Spanish residence blends timeless architectural detail with a sophisticated modern ease. A wisteria-draped courtyard with a central fountain creates a romantic, old California welcome to the home. Inside, a wrought-iron spiral staircase anchors the foyer, where arched doorways reveal a sunken living room with soaring beamed ceilings and gas fireplace, an office, and formal dining. The chef's kitchen features Brazilian granite counters, a Viking gas range, Sub-Zero refrigerator, along with a center island offering a prep sink and bar seating. Natural light pours in through skylights above, as the kitchen transitions effortlessly into a sunlit breakfast area and relaxed living room with direct access to the back garden. Upstairs, three bedrooms include a primary suite with two walk-in closets, an updated bathroom with soaking tub, and access to the front balcony that overlooks the romantic courtyard below. Two additional bedrooms, both with walk-in closets, are connected via a Jack-and-Jill bathroom, while the rear bedroom opens to a generous private patio framing views to the Hollywood Sign. A detached guest unit above the two-car garage, complete with a 3/4 bath, provides flexible space for guests or creative use. The back garden is a private sanctuary beneath a canopy of mature trees, featuring an oversized saltwater pool and spa, an artificial lawn, and multiple seating areas, all framed by lush hedging. Additional amenities include solar panels, Tesla EV charger, and exterior security cameras. Ideally situated moments from Pan Pacific Park, The Original Farmers Market, and The Grove, this is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Los Angeles history in one of the city's most celebrated neighborhoods.
