Agent Remarks: Back on Market! No fault of property. Behind a lush green wall of ficus hedging, a flagstone path winds it's' way to the front door of this Sycamore Square stunner. With 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, each turn reveals a new view, a new room or a new feature. Generous banks of leaded glass windows in the living and dining rooms shower the interior with sunlight, reflecting in a warm glow off curved walls and a romantic barreled ceiling. Cozy built in seating flanks the wood burning brick fireplace while rich ebonized original hardwood flooring throughout imbues the home with a sophisticated classic feeling. Elegant millwork walls line the long central hallway leading to the "al fresco den"(!!) with flatscreen TV and bar at the outside rear of the home. That hallway is one of 4 exits to the yard, including those from 2 of the bedrooms and 1 from the kitchen. The large kitchen features a center island, dual ovens, tons of cabinetry, a handsome farmhouse-style sink, a new "insta-view, door-in-door" refrigerator, a breakfast bar AND an eat-in area with built banquette tucked snugly into a bay windowed corner. A spa tub in the master bath offers the perfect way to unwind, or maybe you'd prefer luxuriating in a multi-head, marble walled shower..., check! Your call. Stepping in to the rear yard, the clatter of the world outside melts away replaced by the feeling of "ahhhh". Though agent is unaware of permits, a clever re-imagination of the garage affords a fully finished, climate controlled alternate living or office space, with a full kitchen, bathroom, a separate bedroom and even an indoor-outdoor meditation/yoga studio. At the driveway, a level 2 charger makes for speedy recharging of your EV and a remote access gate offers security and convenience. Sycamore Square is a wonderful pocket and close-knit community. Centrally located, eminently walkable with some of the best resources in the city for dining - like Republique, or entertainment - like the El Rey Theatre, or museums - like LACMA or the Peterson, or shopping - like LaBrea Ave!, all located within blocks. There's easy freeway or street access to all parts of the city, too, but the fact is that Wilshire Blvd, just 2 blocks away, has more public transportation options than any traffic corridor in all of LA and with the new subway station blocks away at Wilshire and LaBrea slated to open in early 2024 this home offers an enviable location for those looking to embrace a brave new world of mobility untethered to a vehicle as well as a host of other ownership enhancing features - Central air and heat, a re-built chimney, a new sewer line, an immaculate basement with laundry area and additional storage space, a monitored security system for both structures and with the classic Tudor roofline design, a large stand up attic invites serious consideration of the expansion options that the current owners had considered as their 2nd floor master suite.
