LOCALLA

West Hollywood West, this bungalow pairs original craftsmanship with custom details that are truly felt. The two-bed, two-bath lives larger than its footprint. The seller-designed touches are meticulous and give the home real personality. Layered lighting and built-in speakers set the tone room to room, with fixtures chosen for mood and hosting. A fully rebuilt wood and gas burning fireplace anchors the living room, and the space flows open and easy. The kitchen is built around a chef's workflow. It has a restaurant-grade vented hood, custom solid Cherry cabinetry, a new built-in Miele refrigerator, and a black granite countertop with a knife slot built right in. The flow from the kitchen into the backyard is the best part. An integrated plunge pool spa and an outdoor shower turn the yard into a private retreat, and a converted structure now used as a home office and art studio gives you dedicated work space without giving up a bedroom. The outdoor dining is built for hosting, with good natural light, warm ambient lighting at night, and a new gas grill. A mature Wisteria canopy shades the space in summer and blooms deep purple in mid-March. Easy flow from one entertaining space to the next, with the kitchen right there.Systems recently serviced, with warranties and documentation in order, this home is turnkey. Minutes from Cedars-Sinai and the shopping and dining along Melrose, Robertson, and Beverly Blvd., it offers craftsmanship, character, and walkability in one of LA's best pockets.
