Property Detail

Description

This 1920's Spanish Bungalow is a genuine treasure, tucked behind a gated courtyard in one of Toluca Lake's most picturesque enclaves. Evoking the romance of early Hollywood with its arched doorways, coved ceilings, rich wood details and hand-forged accents, the residence has been thoughtfully updated to reflect a modern sensibility without compromising the style of its architectural soul. Enter through the charming peek-window door to the interior which boasts two original fireplaces that anchor both the living and entertainment spaces. The home features two tranquil bedrooms, a lovingly restored vintage bathroom, plus a guest bath, a classic galley kitchen with an newer range and Bosch dishwasher, as well as a tall, etched-glass pantry door, a formal dining room, and a bonus space, currently styled as a bar and lounge, but could be your reading room, home office or breakfast salon. There is a laundry nook, with cabinets, in addition to the generous amount of closets throughout. The backyard is a private and fenced oasis with a covered pergola and green lawn, bordered by an assortment of fruit trees, including Meyer Lemon, Tangerine, Kumquat, Pink Pomelo & Fig. Modern upgrades include double-paned Milgard energy efficient windows and French doors, a 200 amp electrical panel with updated wiring throughout, including a 240-volt EV outlet, and the house has been updated with insulation in the attic and walls as well as a brand new tankless water heater. For those seeking added potential, the detached 2-car garage could be converted to an ADU, guest house or studio. This property also offers the possibility to expand its current footprint, or you could explore the possibility of adding a second story, making this house as versatile and valuable as it is sublime.
