LOCALLA

Set above the street in Verdugo Woodlands, this 1933 Spanish Colonial enjoys the kind of privacy and outlook usually found higher in the hills. Curved stucco lines, tiled steps, and wrought-iron railings guide the approach, hinting at the architecture waiting inside. The living room sets the tone with stenciled timber beams, a carved fireplace, arched thresholds, and windows that draw the landscape into the room.Just beyond it, the dining room connects naturally to a large modern kitchen with generous workspace, ample storage, and a broad window over the sink. A den and sunroom extends the living room and opens through French doors to the upper patio, where hillside views become part of daily life.The main floor includes two bedrooms, with the primary suite offering an adjoining alcove suited to an office or dressing area. The original bath remains beautifully intact with its mint tile, black trim, and period hardware. A second flexible room near the lower-level utilities provides another quiet corner for work or projects. The permitted ADU sits slightly downstairs from the main floor and includes its own entrance, patio, kitchenette, wet bar, living area, bedroom, and bath. It works easily as a guest suite or a more independent retreat for longer stays or focused work. Terraced spaces wind across the property, forming a series of landings and patios that feel tucked into the hillside. Mature plantings, gorgeous trees, shifting light, and the enchanted treehouse give the grounds a quiet, almost storybook quality, creating inviting spots for entertaining, unwinding, or spending time outdoors. A circular driveway and lower-level garage offer welcome convenience. Rooted in its 1933 architecture and surrounded by layered outdoor living, this Spanish Colonial feels both private and connected to the landscape, offering a quiet foothold in one of Verdugo Woodlands' most appealing pockets.
