With a charming blend of Mission and Spanish Colonial design, this graceful home epitomizes the California revival architecture of the 1920s. A time capsule of old-world design and craftsmanship, this property has been lovingly restored and updated with all the modern conveniences by the longtime owner. Designed in 1923 by A.F. Mantz, an accomplished architect and Hollywood Production Designer, this home is a testament to original craftsmanship. It showcases a wealth of authentic details, including the stunning California redwood mantel, buffet, and single-panel interior doors with period-perfect glass doorknobs and brass fixtures throughout. Upon entering from the covered porch through French doors, you're welcomed into a spacious living room. This room features a striking Batchelder tile fireplace and practical custom built-ins. A broad arched opening seamlessly connects to the dining room, distinguished by its original built-ins and classic crown molding. The home also offers a gourmet kitchen complete with a charming, five-window breakfast nook. The freshly painted ground floor living space includes a master bedroom with easy access to the rear yard, two additional bedrooms, and two full baths. A unique laundry room doubles as a bar area, featuring double doors that open to the back patio, perfectly setting the stage for outdoor gatherings. The home includes a private, second-floor studio with a separate entrance, functioning as the 4th bedroom and 3rd bathroom. This isolated space features an original 1918 Murphy Bed, GE Monogram indoor grill & burners, convection/microwave, granite countertops, split HVAC and a private balcony overlooking the backyard. Indeed, the spacious rear yard is an entertainer's dream, complete with a generous patio and a built-in bar. The original 1923 detached garage features work benches, pegboard, bike storage, and additional room for general storage. Nestled in one of Los Angeles' most desirable neighborhoods, this home boasts incredible walk-ability to local shops, diverse dining, and vibrant nightlife. You'll also love its central location, offering easy access to iconic attractions like Griffith Park (perfect for hiking, biking, horseback riding, tennis, and golf), the Griffith Park Observatory, the Greek Theater, the LA Zoo, the Hollywood Bowl, and Dodger Stadium. Lease Term & Payments: We prefer a lease agreement that spans multiple years. Your first month's rent and security deposit will be due when you move in. Tenants are responsible for all utility costs and gardener. Modifications & Upgrades: Any changes to the home, inside or out, require the owner's prior approval. For any approved modifications, the owner's long-time maintenance team (who has cared for the home since 2009) will handle the work. We're open to discussing alternative labor if you have a preferred, qualified professional.
