Description

Experience this thoughtfully restored and upgraded 1930s Spanish Colonial Revival, nestled in the coveted Verdugo Woodlands neighborhood. A private walled front courtyard shaded with mature lime and lemon trees welcomes you, with the original wood front door opening onto the elegant entry hall. Arched doorways lead off the entrance into an expansive living room on the left and formal dining room on the right. The light-filled living room features restored hardwood floors, hand-hewn mahogany fireplace with Claycraft tiles and hand-painted wood ceiling beams. A large arched picture window frames a peaceful view onto the mature native plant front garden. Space-defining lighting from Isamu Noguchi, Charlotte Perriand, Poul Henningsen and others is featured throughout the house, with a vintage Mission style wrought iron chandelier dramatically illuminating the stairwell. The chef's kitchen and pantry have been recently upgraded with Miele appliances including a new induction cooktop. The large kitchen opens onto a second dining space with a wood and beam cathedral ceiling and bay windows architecturally framing the view. Off the kitchen, a wide media room opens out through French doors onto the saltillo-tiled pool area. The newly equipped Aqualink controlled saline lap pool and spa add to the serene feel of the home; the ample backyard is anchored by a mature olive tree, Weber gas grill, outdoor dining area and room to play. Upstairs are three bright and airy bedrooms with restored hardwood floors and unobstructed treetop views. The principal bedroom features a partially wood paneled walk-in closet with picture window. The generous-sized pair of secondary bedrooms, drenched in light from multiple wood framed windows, are ample in closet space. The upstairs also has a second spacious full bathroom with original tilework and period touches. Completing this self-contained oasis is a pool house space complete with a full bathroom, HVAC, built-in cabinets, stone countertops, storage closet and adjoining laundry room. Climate-ready and efficient, this home was substantially updated in 2023 with attic, wall and floor insulation, new duct work, 3.5 ton Mitsubishi heat pump HVAC, smart thermostat, upgraded electrical panel with new subpanel, high efficiency electric heat pump water heater, discreetly sited and fully owned solar panels, outdoor security cameras and more. Historic Verdugo Woodlands is known for its quiet walkable tree-lined streets, stunning mountain views, local parks, and proximity to the Montrose shopping district, where the community enjoys a mix of local restaurants, shops, farmers markets, and more. Enjoy a surprisingly modern and lovingly maintained Woodlands getaway home to buy and keep.
