Description

A love letter to old Hollywood. Hidden behind a romantic curtain of lush hedges (the "Hollywood hedge") and welcomed by a substantial, solid entry door, this enchanting Spanish sanctuary whispers stories of a golden era while embracing you with modern comfort, all in the heart of Melrose Village. The moment you pass through the private gated entry, the city melts away, replaced by your own secret garden oasis and character-rich retreat. Hardwood floors offer soulful authenticity throughout. Sunlight filters through arched windows that look to the peaceful front yard with fresh landscaping and plenty of room to play. French doors in the gracious living space complement the cozy fireplace and access the rear terrace with the built-in spa. Perfect for entertaining under the stars or daytime fun in the sun. A formal dining room is plenty spacious for hosting a dinner party, seating 6 or more with ease. The heartbeat of the home is the renovated kitchen and laundry boasting elevated Ijen Blue quartzite counters, new cabinets and sophisticated hardware, plus stainless steel appliances including Wolf range and Signature Kitchen Suite refrigerator. Down the hall, 3 ample bedrooms, one with handsome built-in bookshelves standing ready to cradle your collection of beloved novels, vintage finds, or creative musings. The master bedroom features a character-rich bathroom ensuite, boasting 1920's green hex tile with black trim, an elegant pedestal dual vanity with a separate shower. An additional guest bedroom offers plenty of closet storage and access to the rear terrace. A large character hall bath boasts sophisticated tile detail, including a pedestal sink and built-in soaking tub with shower under a period-correct arched detail. Enjoy the quiet confidence of a home lovingly fortified with a bolted foundation, relined chimney breathing safely once more, and a robust 200-amp electrical panel. Artisan craftsmanship defines true Spanish romance, which this home has in spades. Wander tree-lined streets to discover the creative pulse of Melrose Avenue, where galleries, boutiques, and sidewalk cafes invite you to while away golden afternoons. The energy of Fairfax, the allure of Sunset Boulevard, the spirit of old Hollywoodall within reach, yet your hedge-hidden haven remains blissfully yours alone. This is the Los Angeles you've imagined: Spanish arches and morning light, privacy and possibility, vintage soul with modern ease. Welcome to the home where your story begins.
