Value meets charm! This classic 1940 Studio City home is in impeccable condition and has been beautifully maintained and updated with an emphasis on preservation of original details. Added value throughout with updated electrical (200AMP service), new HVAC, ductwork, vents and thermostat, copper plumbing, ABS drains, sewer replaced and/or lined to the street, tankless water heater, dual pane windows, permitted space in back with brand new high efficiency AC/heat, LED lighting and LVP flooring, all structures tented in November 2023. You enter from a covered front porch into a formal entry with an ample double door coat closet with storage above; the living room has a fireplace, built in shelving, and beautifully refinished original hardwood floors; the adjacent dining room is light and bright with built-ins and the same lovely hardwood; the kitchen is a nicely laid out galley with gorgeous refinished original wood cabinetry, quartz countertops, pro appliances, a small dining area, and backyard access through the laundry porch; a Dutch door leads to the spacious family room with a corner office space, fireplace, and direct access to the back yard. Note that the family room could be converted to a 3rd bedroom. On the south side of the house, you’ll find a guest bedroom with a window seat featuring built in storage; a full bath with original marble counters and backsplash; two hall closets for plenty of extra storage; and the expanded master suite with a full bath and walk-in shower. The back yard features plenty of patio space for entertaining, al fresco dining, gardening and relaxing, two planted beds feature fresh strawberries, peppers, tomatoes, lettuce and a variety of herbs, plus there’s an orange tree. At the back of the property, you have a detached two-car garage with entry on Landale and tons of storage space PLUS an additional permitted nearly 500 SF with new waterproof luxury flooring and a new mini-split 12k BTU high efficiency HVAC. The main house features new high efficiency central heat and air, 200 AMP electrical service, copper plumbing, ABS drains and upgraded sewer line to the street, dual glazed windows, refinished hardwood flooring, updated fixtures and finishes and new paint throughout. All structures were tented for termites in November 2023. Ideally located in a charming, walkable neighborhood on a spacious corner lot – walk to restaurants, grocery stores, shops and parks, while also having easy freeway access. This is a rare opportunity because there is very little inventory under $2MM in this area and this is an exceptional, move-in ready home.
