The story
Timeless English Tudor charm meets a fresh, thoughtful remodel in this storybook retreat, set on a notably large lot for the neighborhood in a quiet pocket of West LA. Centrally located near shops, restaurants, and sought-after Westwood Charter Elementary School, the home offers convenient access to Westside employment centers while providing a welcoming retreat from the city's bustle. High-pitched wood-beamed ceilings, elegant French windows, and character-rich details preserve its old-world appeal, while new flooring, fresh paint, remodeled bathrooms, and a beautifully updated kitchen with new appliances bring renewed style and function. A new heating and air conditioning system adds year-round comfort. An upstairs loft-style bedroom presents potential for future expansion, including the possibility of an added bathroom. Visible rough plumbing at the roofline invites further exploration, with expansion and bathroom feasibility subject to independent verification and required approvals. The expansive backyard is a true highlight, with generous space for outdoor entertaining, gardening, and everyday relaxation. String lights define inviting areas for open-air dining, weekend gatherings, and evenings under the stars, while a mature, fruit-producing avocado tree, a fruit-bearing orange tree, and grapevines add to the garden's charm. The garage, finished with drywall and an epoxy floor and currently arranged as a gym and bonus area, provides versatile space for workouts, hobbies, or creative pursuits. Blending classic architecture, modern updates, and exceptional outdoor living, this distinctive home places the conveniences of West LA close at hand in a peaceful neighborhood setting.
