About This Home

Redefine the art of living and entertaining at this beautifully detailed and enviably private Spanish-style home in the heart of LA's Miracle Mile neighborhood. Characterized by a host of authentic architectural details and carefully curated upgrades, the gracious residence was built in 1925 and stands proudly as a testament to timeless design. A large, gently sloping lawn graces the front of the single-level residence, which embraces all with a gated front patio distinguished by Spanish tile and mature plantings. Indoors, an abundance of multi-paned windows and French doors welcomes natural light, illuminating an elegant fireplace-warmed living room with barrel ceiling, and a spacious dining room with a wall of windows. Romantic archways, hardwood and cork flooring, solid wood doors with glass handles, coved ceilings and custom window treatments lend an air of subtle sophistication to the home. Open to the dining room, a remodeled kitchen impresses with stained-wood Shaker cabinetry with glass uppers, a colorful full tile backsplash, solid-surface countertops, outdoor access, stainless steel appliances, and a convenient laundry closet with stacked washer and dryer. A large peninsula is perfect for casual meals and serving up small bites during memorable gatherings with friends and loved ones. Approximately 1,824 square feet, the move-in-ready home hosts three bedrooms and two baths, with one bath offering period-perfect finishes and the other displaying upgraded tile and fixtures. Bedrooms offer comfort, privacy and serene garden views, while a finished detached two-car garage can easily become an ADU, office or studio. With a newer deck, intimate patios and gorgeous landscaping, the private backyard presents an outstanding setting for cocktail parties, barbecues, and easy relaxation by sun and starlight. This sanctuary-style ambiance of this home belies its setting just moments from some of LA's best attractions.
