This 1937 Spanish compound is a striking union of vintage detail and modern California indoor-outdoor living. Renovated in 2018 the home is an entertainer’s dream, with an open floor plan and resort-like backyard with pool and spa and a gorgeous ADU.
The main house retains splendid period details such as its original crown moldings, archways, a central skylight and a wonderful ziggurat-style deco ceiling detail in the guest bathroom. Modern touches include wide plank oak flooring throughout, new windows, recessed lighting, linen window treatments and brass-accented light fixtures.
The elegant formal living room features a bay window overlooking the lush landscaping of the front yard and a cozy fireplace. Beyond, the dining room opens onto the true hub of the home, a stunning open plan chef's kitchen and family/media room.
The large custom kitchen offers ample cabinets and quartz countertops along with a breakfast bar, stainless appliances including wine fridge and a prep sink. The family room beyond is a perfect spot to curl up in front of the TV or with a book and keep an eye on what’s cooking. A wall of sliding doors opens the area up to the backyard oasis beyond.
The large primary bedroom is a peaceful retreat with a generous walk-in closet and a barn door opening onto an ensuite primary bath with double sinks.
The backyard sanctuary is spectacular. The newer pool is heated and features two waterfalls and a retractable pool cover. The ADU makes for a terrific guest suite and doubles as a pool house. It offers a designer bathroom with brass fixtures and hex tile, kitchenette with wine fridge and quartz counters and ample closet space. The romantic covered patio offers an outdoor fireplace and is perfect for al fresco dining and entertaining.
Behind the scenes, key upgrades include newer roof, plumbing, HVAC with Nest thermostat and solar panels that are fully owned. The central location is close to Culver City, Mid-Wilshire and West Adams, along with easy freeway access and proximity to the new Whole Foods on La Cienega.
