Description

Kind of like a “Spa Day.” New look and price for this Sycamore Square storybook charmer!! Bright and airy, 4 bedroom, 3 bath, English Tudor with surprise after surprise! Up the winding pathway from the lushly tree-lined street you enter in to a sun drenched living room with an elegant coved ceiling, leaded glass windows and a wood burning fireplace. The dining room features an enormous mult-paned arched window set in it’s own cove and a beautiful Tiffany style ceiling fixture. The updated kitchen includes a cozy, east facing breakfast area with a set of french doors that open out to the herb garden. 3 bedrooms down stairs including 2 that open through french doors directly out to the rear yard and one with it’s own, en-suite bath and direct access to the laundry room, perfect as a maids room. Generous and varied options for storage in the hall linen closet and laundry. And speaking of storage, how about a secret wine cellar accessed beneath the remote controlled lifting stairway (!) to the second floor. Upstairs an enormous primary bedroom suite is it’s own world and includes a large fitted walk-in closet, areas for an office, TV watching, reading and tons more easily accessible storage options. The sumptuous primary bath features, dual vanity, a sexy oversized spa tub and separate 2-person shower stall with dual rainfall shower heads and shower wand. An enormous 2nd story balcony across the rear is perfect for morning coffee, a little yoga or an end of the day cocktail. Outside a combination of gravel and nicely done artificial turf make for easy maintenance and great place for kids and adults. A natural gas firepit cuts the evening chill and invites conversation while a delightful vine covered pergola with built-in barbeque, sink and mini fridge offers shaded comfort. A detached 2 car garage with high pitched ceiling/roof teases options for any number of alternate uses. Copper plumbing, upgraded electrical with 220-amp service. Sycamore Square is a wonderful neighborhood so named for the classic sycamore trees that line the streets of this pocket of beautiful Miracle Mile homes south of Wilshire. World class museums, performance venues, restaurants and shopping are all within easy walking distance and a new subway station opening at Wilshire and LaBrea, just blocks away, present an auto-free way to engage with our fair city
