Agent Remarks: Breathtaking Spanish bungalow lovingly re-imagined and renovated in a brilliant collaboration with Murphy Moon Design. This fully gated peaceful urban oasis is perched high atop a sweet little hill on a street-to-street double lot in hot City Terrace, less than 10 min from DTLA. Privacy and tranquility abound in this generously sized 2 bed/2 bath modern beauty. Starting from the ground up, with a new foundation, literally every single surface has been touched, including all new plumbing, new electrical wiring, 200-amp electrical panel, partial sewer line replacement and sleeving, all new windows, new water heater, new roof, new light fixtures, new hardware, new French drain, and a brilliantly efficient new mini-split system, to name a few. This home was restored with a keen eye for detail and the overarching goal of bringing it back to its original quintessential Spanish nature by adding classic design elements like beautiful archways and insets, stunning encaustic cement tiles in each bathroom, and custom arched wood windows along the front of the property. The spacious open-concept living/dining area, complete with gorgeous wide plank oak floors and stunning new kitchen with Zia zellige tile, quartz counters, and all new LG stainless appliances, is the ideal space for entertainment and relaxation. And why not take the party outside? French doors open up to the back patio secret garden. A custom built-in bench with decorative Spanish tile accents anchors the space, and is the perfect spot to gather by the fire pit. Olive trees, mature agaves, vibrant lantana, and cacti (all on a drip system) envelop you creating a peaceful area to dine alfresco and enjoy the best in SoCal living. Head to one of your new decks (with ample storage space under each) to lounge and take in the panoramic views of the Hollywood sign & Griffith Observatory, as well as the most magnificent sunsets. This is the place to be for celebrations like the 4th of July! Fully fenced with a new automatic gate and room for two cars is extremely rare for the area and price point. Both bedrooms are generously sized, bright, and airy, and the primary suite boasts a walk-in closet, additional closet, and swoon-worthy en suite bath with dual vanity and stunning oversized walk-in shower. Easy access to Cal State LA, USC Keck, major freeways, DTLA, South Pasadena, and Hollywood. Soaking in the sunset amidst the giant cacti lining the front of the house is not to be missed - this property is an absolute gem! ***Property qualifies for community lending program via Insignia Mortgage, with rates as low as 6.175% on a 30yr-fixed with 10% down up to $1M (contact [email protected])***
