The story
Painstakingly reimagined historic Spanish bungalow moments from the best of Melrose, Fairfax and Beverly Blvd, blending original architectural character with a fresh renovation. Taken down to the studs, no expense was spared, including all new plumbing and electrical systems, an entirely new HVAC system, tankless water heater, expanded kitchen, new gas lines, and extensive upgrading across all major components. Beyond the drought resistant front yard and elevated patio, the home opens to a sun splashed living room with a dramatic arched picture window, barrel ceiling and warm oak floors, accented by alabaster sconces. Arched openings connect the living room, dining room, and kitchen, creating an easy flow while preserving the home's classic character. The brand new custom kitchen pairs natural wood cabinetry, Namibian marble countertops, and stainless-steel appliances with a picturesque Spanish breakfast nook, complete with custom built in cabinets and shelves, and framed by an original wood trimmed window. The primary suite is complemented by a generous closet and custom finished en-suite bathroom featuring a striking walk-in shower with a rain shower head, wrapped in soft green tile. The hallway bathroom offers easy access from the secondary bedroom while still convenient for visitors. French doors open directly from the secondary bedroom to the backyard with space for lounging and dining beneath a mature tangerine tree. The landscaping features native plants, a new drip system, and crushed granite to provide an eco-conscious backdrop to sunset dinners and hangs with family and friends. Thoughtful lighting and hand-selected finishes carry a warm, understated aesthetic throughout while abundant windows drench the interior with natural light in every room. This home is intentional, meticulous, and designed to welcome the next owners with character, style, and inviting indoor-outdoor living.
