Set on a 36,645 square foot lot that stretches from Mar Vista Avenue to Maiden Lane, this 'Early California' property includes three distinct structures: the 3623 square foot main house (five bedrooms and four baths), a 1142 square foot guest house (two bedrooms, one bath) and a 365 square foot studio with bath adjoining the garages and laundry room. This magical property creates a rich connection with the land by incorporating organic vegetable and herb gardens, 50+ fruit trees and a large chicken coop with leafy sunlit meandering pathways leading to romantic vignettes throughout. In the main house, character and original details start in the tiled entry hall with its pitched ceiling and wall of windows framing a view of the courtyard patio. The handsome living room is highlighted by a marble-faced fireplace, a large bay window and crown moldings. Pocket doors open to the sunroom, where the tile floor, barrel ceiling, and roped molding detail pay homage to another era with doors that open to the pool and verdant landscape beyond. The charming library/den features a corner fireplace, built-in shelves, wood-paneled walls, and crown molding. The formal dining room features paneled pocket doors, wainscoting, crown moldings, and a pretty built-in corner cabinet. A long hall wraps around the courtyard patio where floor-to-ceiling windows blur the boundary between inside and out.The heart of the home is an enormous chef's kitchen with a nine-foot end-grain butcher block island. Skylights, vaulted ceiling, and clerestory windows create a sunny ambience, making it the ideal place to prepare the wide array of fresh foods that flourish all over the property. The primary bedroom, bathroom and dressing room were recently remodeled and beautifully updated with high end fixtures and finishes that speak to the original architecture with new paneled wood wainscotting, built in shaker style cabinetry and a freestanding tub and separate shower. The hall bath was also fully redesigned with wainscotting, a stone stopped vanity and elegant handmade tiles. The two bedroom guest cottage built in 2000, is a charming separate home which includes a full kitchen, a three-quarter bath and a laundry room. High vaulted ceilings and skylights make this a light and bright space. The cottage has its own separate entrance gate off of Maiden Lane. A dreamy front porch adds to the charm of the home, reinforcing the romantic California ranch aesthetic of this incredible property.
