Property Detail

Description

A cherished Garvanza Tudor bungalow with roots stretching back to 1926, this Rex D. Weston, Bungalowcraft Co. design blends history, charm, and the everyday rhythm of the city in perfect balance. The soft hum of birdsong and the distant bells of the Church of the Angels - a reminder that this is a place with a past and very much a present. It's the kind of home where mornings begin slowly, light filtering through leaded glass, and evenings stretch out in the backyard under open sky, cooled off by a dip in the cowboy pool at the top of the hill. Original hardwood floors run throughout, holding the warmth of a thousand quiet steps. The built-ins aren't just functional; they tell a story, cradle books, and hold memories. The kitchen, a timeless simplicity - functional, familiar, vintage detailing from the original cabinetry with cold closet/ice box intact, Douglas fir floors, and a classic Wedgewood stove. Two bright and comfortable bedrooms, one bathroom preserved with care to keep true to the home's original spirit, and a detached garage with room for reinvention, whether as a studio, workshop, or simply a place to store all the things that make a house a home. Beyond the walls, the backyard opens up in tiers, planted with natives and designed for calm. There are nooks to sit, to read, to gather. And just when the sun hits right, the city hum fades, leaving a moment that feels personal, still, and complete. For those looking to honor the home's storied past, there's potential to qualify for the Mills Act, bringing both preservation and long-term tax benefits. This is a home with soul and presence, ready to be lived in, loved, and woven into someone else's story
