Description
Circa 1927 Spanish. Rarely does a home offer so much without compromise. The moment you arrive the home's Spanish bones announce themselves; wrought iron, vibrant tile, curved walls, and beamed ceilings. The character and soul of this home is paired with the comfort and livability of a home meticulously reimagined for modern life. (New Anderson French doors and windows. Roof, heating and air conditioning systems, hot water on demand, and water softener systems all update. Seismic upgrades to the foundation, chimneys are lined with stainless steel liners, new flooring, updated kitchen and baths) Lovingly curated over the past several years, the property reflects an extraordinary commitment to quality, craftsmanship, and enduring design. Beautifully reimagined from both a functional and aesthetic standpoint, nearly every aspect of the home from its finishes to its infrastructure has been thoughtfully improved while honoring the timeless character that makes so enduringly appealing - the bones are original. The ease is entirely current. Set in the Franklin Hills, one of Los Feliz's most sought-after enclaves, with an outdoor world rivals anything the neighborhood has to offer. A rare combination of hillside privacy, a variety of scenic vistas - from the surrounding mountains to the city skyline and the iconic Griffith Observatory. The outdoor space has been completely reimagined. A masterwork of considered design that turns every corner of the property into a reason to linger. A front yard perfectly oriented to capture eastern vistas creates a rare al fresco perch for morning coffee. Behind private gates, a secluded retreat unfolds with mature, thoughtfully designed, drought-conscious gardens, usable side yards, with wall mounted fountains. The outdoor fireplace anchors a backyard designed for gathering, with multiple seating areas, and automatic louvered pergola that frames the sky above, and lush, mature landscaping that cocoons the entire space. The outdoor kitchen makes the case for living and entertaining entirely outdoors. A fantastic yard for adults, children, and pets. Surprising "speakeasy" - type, secure direct access from the street level garage into the home. Perfectly positioned just moments from Griffith Park, Los Feliz Village, Silver Lake, and Hollywood, the home offers the warmth of Franklin Hills' close-knit neighborhood with the convenience of central Los Angeles. Some homes impress; others make you want to stay. Thoughtfully designed for gathering yet equally suited to peaceful everyday living, this is a home that leaves a lasting impression from the moment you arrive. Buyers and their brokers are advised to verify all aspects of the house such as: Age, square feet of the house and lot, property condition, permits, zoning, school enrollment, etc., with their chosen professionals.
