Property Description

Timeless Mediterranean Elegance in Little Holmby. Nestled on a quiet, picturesque, tree-lined street, this 1930s Mediterranean residence embodies the romance of old-world craftsmanship infused with sophisticated European flair. With 5 bedrooms, 6 baths, and over 3,600 sq. ft., it is a rare offering in one of Los Angeles' most sought-after enclaves, moments from UCLA, Holmby Park, Beverly Hills, and the acclaimed Warner Avenue School. From the very first step inside, the home enchants with its warmth and detail. A private, enclosed courtyard with French doors leading from both the dining and living rooms sets the stage for effortless indoor/outdoor entertaining. Period craftsmanship is evident throughout, with soaring beamed ceilings, vintage Spanish tiles, rich hardwood floors, intricate crown and coffered moldings, and exquisite hand-painted Italian mosaic murals that elevate the home's artistry, stunningly showcased through several windows in the home. The step-down living room, anchored by a grand fireplace beneath exposed beams, exudes character, while the adjacent formal dining room offers timeless elegance for gatherings. The chef's kitchen combines function and charm, complete with stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, multiple prep areas, and a wine cooler. Additional living spaces include a wood-paneled study, a game room, and a refined den...all oriented toward the home's exquisite exterior details and natural light. The lower level includes two bedrooms, one a generous mini-primary with vintage-tiled bath, the other a cozy en-suite ideal for guests or staff. A sunlit staircase leads to the upper level, where the primary suite reveals its own fireplace, voluminous walk-in closet, spa-inspired bath, and a covered balcony overlooking serene treetops...a perfect way to start any day. A secondary upstairs en-suite bedroom completes the private wing. The hallway has an incredible bookcase to house all your favorite classics. At the rear, a large, tiled patio invites al fresco dining and festive gatherings, surrounded by unique tile artistry. The converted garage/guest house, complete with bath, serves as a versatile space for guests or as a home office, with ADU approval in process. This home is more than a residence it is a piece of architectural history. Beyond its enduring beauty, it offers an unrivaled location near UCLA, Westwood Village, Bel Air, Century City Mall, Beverly Hills, and Holmby Park, combining tranquility with world-class convenience.
