About This Home

Nestled comfortably in the quiet, luxurious pocket of Melrose Hill, this meticulously maintained, 1,500 square foot, 1920s Craftsman home is ready to serve you the charm of early Hollywood, along with the benefits of modern engineering, amenities, and security. Before entering the home, simply marvel at your community: Melrose Hill, one of LA's most elegant neighborhoods with plentiful investment and growth. You're one block from Lemon Grove Park, and a short distance from the city's hottest new cafes and restaurants, such as Cafe Telegrama and Bar Etoile. The Melrose Hill HPOZ, a historic neighborhood that preserves the area's early 1900s architectural quality, is right next door. You can grab your coffee, step outside, take a right, and be transported into a charming, nostalgic past for your morning walk. This home offers the ultimate experience in both tranquility and urban convenience. Your privacy matters. You'll feel the freedom of no shared walls every day. Once outside, relax in your fully private, 1,200 square foot yard, framed by lush eugenia trees alongside regal privacy gates. In this dignified space, you're able to play in the yard, tend to herb in your planters, and host gatherings by the fire pit or on the porch, day or night. There's enough room to install an outdoor grill, if you desire! Between autumn and spring, the Birds of Paradise will bloom and provide an added spectacle. Enter through a century-old oak door into an enormous living room with a natural, quartz-stone fireplace. You're surrounded by classic crown moldings, standing on luxury vinyl plank flooring. As you explore, you'll appreciate the suite of upgrades: a Nest thermostat regulates your central HVAC system, recessed LED lighting is throughout the home, both renovated bathrooms provide a spa-like experience, with custom tile work, vanities with storage, large mirrors, copper/PVC plumbing and self-closing cabinets. Each of the four bedrooms is cinematically yet neutrally colored to provide a versatile environment for kids, adults, guests, or office work. The windows are double-paned and energy efficient, helping you maintain peace and temperature control. All bedroom closets have ample space, while some are boutique-style closets! The kitchen is fully renovated with quartz countertops, a double basin barn sink, & stainless-steel appliances (gas stove/range, microwave, large refrigerator, dishwasher, and garbage disposal). Next to it is your large laundry room, with ample light, shelving and space. Your home's foundation has been retrofitted to protect against earthquakes, the roof is less than two years old, and a state-of-the-art drain system routes water from the gutters out to the street. A 200-amp electric panel provides enough power for all of your needs. Behind the royal driveway gate is a level 2 EV charger and, motion floodlights and cameras surround the perimeter. Management lives in the neighboring house for convenience. The house comes with weekly gardening and monthly exterminator service around the perimeter. **$5,900/month with a parking spot (shared, tandem) in the driveway. $5,500/month with no parking (owner will pay for parking passes).
