Property Description

Set in prime Westwood's coveted Little Holmby, is this unspoiled, well-maintained, four bedroom, three bath classic Spanish graced by authentic period details akin to fine, early Los Angeles architecture. Its genre is beautifully realized throughout with intricate iron work, richly-detailed carved ceilings, original colorful tiles, steel casement and stained-glass windows and period built-ins.

A private welcoming, gated front courtyard, set in stone, is a perfect spot for a morning coffee or al fresco lounging during cocktail hour. As one enters this iconic residence through the beautifully carved front door, the formal tiled entry welcomes you with a sweeping staircase and a stunning iron railing. A skylight provides the foyer with warm natural light. Off the entry is an expansive living room with a high carved beamed ceiling, a large pretty stained-glass picture window, a corner fireplace and wide-planked wood floors. Adjacent is a cozy, wood-paneled library with a beamed ceiling and the warmth of an additional fireplace.

Opposite is the spacious formal dining room with an elegantly-detailed carved ceiling. The sunny breakfast room is adjacent and opens up to a grassy backyard through wide French doors. There is an updated kitchen with stone counter tops and floor, a Viking range and an adjacent butler's pantry outfitted with a wine cooler. A downstairs fourth bedroom, perfect as guest quarters or media room has its own private bathroom also opening to the center hall.

Upstairs are three amply-sized bedrooms including a terrific master accented by pretty stained-glass windows and a romantic covered veranda; the perfect sanctuary. The master bath has a separate tub and shower. Two guest bedrooms, one with another special balcony overlooking the backyard, share a full Jack & Jill bathroom.

The backyard features a large uninterrupted grassy expanse, an elegantly hardscape play area, and a detached two-car garage. This lovely home is located in the coveted Warner Avenue School District.
