Nestled in the heart of the Sawtelle-Japantown restaurant, retail & office mecca sits an 872 square foot bungalow-style home sitting on an expansive 7,104 SF R2-zoned "retreat." Both the front and back yards have been fully re-designed and converted to drought-resistant artificial turf, succulent cactus plants, rubber mulch and large river rock building fringe, and paver stone pathways. This magical "escape-from-the-city" property is filled with a variety of Japanese maple and Fuji apple trees, Hawaiian plumeria, western cactus, and a large Hawaiian Mango Tree that serves as the centerpiece of this elongated backyard space. Built in 1939, this "bungalow" style home was updated in 1971 with two rear porch areas -- one immediately behind the house and the other behind the detached garage. Inside the home, the entire interior of the home was repainted in 2025 with high-quality scratch-, stain- and fade-resistant satin paint on both the walls and ceilings. The front living room area was converted into a 208 SF Master Bedroom while there is a Second Bedroom in the rear and a finished Office in the front (both of the latter feature their original hardwood floors). There is the flexibility to switch the room configuration back to the two secondary bedrooms and converting the master back to a Living Room space, if desired. The cement driveway leading to the detached garage can accommodate up to 4 cars in tandem and two cars in the garage. Electrical, gas and water utilities lead up to the house from the front strip by the curb, and house is wired to receive either fiber-optic (Frontier Communications) and cable (Spectrum) high-speed broadband Internet/WiFi, TV, and VoIP phone services.
