Description
The one you've been waiting for! Welcome to "Casa de Coral", a beautifully restored Spanish Revival estate in the heart of Beverly Grove. This private, hedged, and gated oasis features three unique structures: a charming 3-bedroom, 2-bath main home, a detached ADU casita with its own entrance and address (542 1/2), and a versatile studio/recreation space with custom carriage doors, kitchenette, and private patio. Named for the 25 year old Coral Tree in the front parkway that blooms beautiful coral-colored flowers that feed the migrating hummingbirds each year, winter through spring. Lovingly restored and extensively upgraded since 2020, improvements include a new roof (2022), central HVAC (2022), copper plumbing, upgraded electrical, sewer line replacement, restored stained glass, updated Art Deco tile, and a fully renovated studio with dance floor, mirrors, soundproofing, and custom barn doors - ideal for hosting gatherings without disrupting the privacy of the main house. The primary home showcases timeless Spanish character with vaulted ceilings, arched doorways, leaded glass, ironwork, and original oak hardwood floors. French doors create seamless indoor-outdoor living, while the private bedroom suite is ideal for guests or multigenerational living. Outside, lush landscaping, Saltillo tile courtyards, custom Spanish tile accents, a commissioned mural (by world-renowned local artist Michael Rubino), landscape lighting, and a $20,000 endless pool/spa create a serene retreat. The detached casita offers excellent flexibility for guests, extended family, a home office, or rental income. 2-car parking on site, with a motorized driveway gate. Located in one of the best walkable neighborhoods in LA: Near the Grove, Farmer's Market, Bludso's Restaurant, Pizzeria & Osteria Mozza, Pan Pacific Park, List goes on and on.
