About This Home

Sprawling Restored Spanish-Style 3 Bed / 2 Bath Lower Duplex in Carthay Circle Ready to escape? Come with. Whether you are seeking a peaceful sanctuary for your family or a magical backdrop for entertaining, this labyrinthine 2,200-square-foot, 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom luxury home invites you into a slower, more beautiful way of living. Bustle out of the hustle of the city into tranquil beauty, where magnolia trees grow outside your own storybook stone castle. Enter through the private gate, past the little hidden bench, to your secluded front patio. Will you have a breakfast table there? A secret garden? A playground? Give the password through the speakeasy hatch in the front door, stripped and lovingly restored to its original vintage finish, hinting at the deliberate elegance within. Bespoke tiles, handpicked in Mexico, greet you in the foyer, sparkling in the sunlight pouring through the floor-to-ceiling through-the-looking-glass window in the grand living room. At night, starlight flickers around custom chandeliers and sconces. Maybe a warm orange glow hums from the original fireplace. Get lost - like, literally - in a spacious labyrinth of soft surprises, graceful turns, and connected spaces. A layout that flows both intimate and expansive: Mission-tiled bathrooms link hallways and bedrooms with abundant built-ins and closets. Flow from the modern kitchen with enchanted-forest vibes to a bright laundry room or the butler’s pantry into the dining room - a wonderfully functional interior maze. Every inch of this abundant home has been painstakingly restored and thoughtfully considered—new electrical, plumbing, HVAC, foundation work, doors, floors, garage doors, pavers, and high-end finishes throughout. A soulful, storied home with the warmth of a bygone era and the ease of modern living. An oasis. A retreat back in time. Designed for the discerning. For those who delight in detail, who stop and smell the roses, the magnolia trees, the refinished cedar. For those looking for a little whimsy, a little romance in modern life.
