Agent Remarks: Built in 1924, this Spanish-style home on a cul-de-sac is waiting for you to make it your own -- remodel or completely reimagine the property, as it is within the Hancock Park boundaries, but not within the Hancock Park Historic Preservation Overlay Zone. Once actually owned by a member of the philanthropic Hancock family, this wonderfully positioned diamond in the rough has so many possibilities. Currently, the entertaining area of the home features a central open floor plan living room with decorative fireplace, dining room, and expansive great room leading to the backyard. The galley kitchen is open to both a laundry area at one end, and a breakfast nook at the other. The private space includes 2 guest bedrooms, one with a beautiful triplet of Palladian windows overlooking the tree-lined street, guest bath, and the primary bedroom with en-suite bathroom, and two large closets outfitted by a closet company, one that is a walk-in. Original hardwood floors throughout. Central heat/air and solar panels to keep the cost of your utilities low. 2-car detached garage. You may want to change this gem a little or a lot, but here's what you don't want to change: proximity to The Grove, LACMA, the Academy Museum, Larchmont Village, the many shops and restaurants on La Brea, Hollywood and Beverly Hills. Restricted parking makes certain that you have a place to park. And the cherry on top? The beautiful street with historic lighting that seamlessly mixes historic homes and new construction, ends in the charming Mansfield Avenue pocket park.
