Tucked behind a gated entry lined with privacy hedging and exclusive private driveway access, this fully detached 1940s traditional bungalow (the front half of a duplex) has been completely updated and offers the privacy of a single-family home in the heart of Miracle Mile, with easy access to all parts of Los Angeles. The front door opens into a light-filled great room with a loft-like feel, where an office nook, living area, and dining space flow together beneath dramatic vaulted, wood-beamed ceilings and warm hardwood floors, anchored by a cozy bay-window banquette overlooking bursts of magenta bougainvillea. The updated kitchen features stainless steel appliances, a gas range, butcher block counters, and a slate tile accent wall, while the spacious bedroom and spa-like bathroom complete with a walk-in shower, floating marble bench, and subway tile round out the main house. Beyond it, a detached garage has been transformed into a versatile studio with its own mini-split AC and full bathroom, perfect as a second bedroom, guest suite, office, or creative space. Outside, a generous patio shaded by palms and bougainvillea connects to a drought-tolerant garden of agave and succulents, all wrapped in the privacy of a fully gated lot. Unfurnished and move-in ready, this is a rare chance to lease a private, character-filled retreat with flexible bonus space in an unbeatable location.
1242 S Sycamore Ave is a house located in Los Angeles County and the 90019 ZIP Code. This area is served by the Los Angeles Unified Rocp School District attendance zone.

In addition to an array of apartments available for rent, Miracle Mile is home to exciting districts like Museum Row and Museum Square. Renting an apartment in Miracle Mile affords residents quick access to the cultural attractions in Museum Row as well as the restaurants, shops, bars, and entertainment venues that populate Museum Square. The La Brea Tar Pits and Museum, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and Petersen Automotive Museum are all part of Museum Row.
