Description

Set far back from the street in the coveted Brookside neighborhood, this enchanting 1926 Spanish Colonial offers a peaceful retreat in the heart of the city. A serene front courtyard welcomes you through the gate, setting the tone for the home's timeless charm. Inside, corbel-style beamed ceilings and hardwood floors create an airy, elegant atmosphere. The living room is anchored by a fireplace and a grand arched picture window that fills the space with natural light, while classic archways and Spanish detailing add warmth and character. The remodeled kitchen blends beauty and function with custom wood cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, custom lighting, and a beverage cooler. A charming breakfast room offers space for casual dining or a work-from-home nook, while the formal dining room is perfect for gatherings. The main level also includes a bedroom, a full bath, and a laundry room. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms and a spacious primary suite provide a quiet retreat. The primary suite opens to a second-floor balcony overlooking the courtyard, an inviting spot for morning coffee or evening relaxation. The private backyard offers flexible outdoor space for dining, gardening, or entertaining. A detached two-car garage and extended driveway provide convenient off-street parking. Recent upgrades include a relined sewer line, HVAC system, gutters & water heater. Ideally located in Brookside, between Larchmont Village and The Grove, this home is just minutes from local eateries along La Brea and Wilshire like Republique, Apollonia's Pizzeria, Met Him At A Bar, Met Her At A Bar, The Night We Met, and All Seasons Brewery. Enjoy the newest Pickleball courts at Pikl, the historic El Rey Theatre, and The Ebell, making this one of Los Angeles' most vibrant and desirable neighborhoods.
