About this home

Beautifully reimagined 1924 Spanish bungalow with a detached guest retreat (approximately 298 square feet with full bath) in the heart of Hancock Park. Thoughtfully renovated while preserving its original charm, this residence is filled with natural light and showcases classic architectural details, graceful archways, seamless indoor-outdoor flow, and a full suite of modern upgrades. A lush approach sets the tone past a curated succulent garden, Japanese maple, and mature bamboo hedging, a custom wood gate opens to a serene and private oasis. The outdoor spaces are designed for effortless living, from quiet mornings on the front porch swing to afternoons on the expansive deck. Inside, timeless character is on full display with a pristine Batchelder fireplace, original wood casement windows, rich hardwood floors, and a refined study complete with custom built-ins and integrated workspace. The living room features vaulted ceilings and flows naturally into an oversized dining room that opens to a charming side courtyard. The kitchen is both elegant and functional, appointed with Carrera marble countertops, a commercial-grade Thermador range, custom cabinetry, a separate laundry room and pantry, and a sunlit breakfast area with French doors leading to the backyard. The spacious primary suite offers a true retreat, featuring an en suite bath, California Closets, and French doors that open to a private deck and courtyard. Additional upgrades include central HVAC, a tankless water heater, updated windows, and thoughtfully designed outdoor lighting. Ideally located within close proximity to Melrose and La Brea, this is a rare offering that seamlessly blends character, privacy, and modern living
