About this home

Hi, I'm 4559 Morella Ave but you can just call me "Home." I'm classic California Traditional on the outside, and a total glow-up on the inside. I was built in 1940, but before you think "vintage," just know I've had a full makeover and I look, well, fantastic. Let's talk stats (because I know you like numbers): I'm single-story and sprawling at 3,539 square feet, with 4 dreamy bedrooms and 3 shiny bathrooms. Mind you, 1 bedroom is non-confirming because i couldn't bear removing my leaded glass window, but that's a quick fix if you chose. I've been heavily renovated, and we're not just talking fresh paint and a candle. No no, we're talking custom engineered hardwood floors, new solid core doors, new lighting, new fixtures, remastered rooms, and a vibe so fresh you'll want to high-five the walls. Come on in through my brand-new front door to begin our tour. My open-concept layout is perfect for entertaining, awkward family dinners, or pretending to host a cooking show in your custom kitchen with new GE Cafe series appliances in matte white and brushed bronze. There's even a toaster oven so you can finally master the art of avocado toast like the millennial you are. I've got a secret wine cellar hidden in the pantry (shhh... it's between us), smart mirrors in the bathroom (because you deserve a mirror that talks back nicely), and a custom primary suite that feels like a boutique hotel had a baby with a luxury spa, with an oversized dual shower that looks into a "zen" space that you have to see in person to believe. Speaking of unbelievable, you can camp out in my 10 x 17 accent lit primary custom closet. Custom, like a tailored suit for your wardrobe. Aaannndd, just in case you want extra cool temps, i have a split AC in the primary AND central AC throughout. Laundry, you ponder? I've got brand-new machines stacked by the bedrooms that basically whisper sweet nothings to your delicates. Plumbing? Refreshed. Electrical? Upgraded. Roof? Touched up and ready for action. Dual sinks in the bathroom? Yes, in 2 bathrooms! Because love means never having to share toothpaste space. Before you go outside, let's at least mention my vaulted ceiling in the 4th bedroom mentioned before and vaulted living space with wet bar that walks out to the pool through traditional French doors (just like into the primary bedroom!) Outside? Oh, baby... I'm sitting pretty on a 9,918 sq ft lot, fully gated (privacy, please) with a renovated pool, fresh landscaping, and a lemon tree in the front yard for when life hands you, well, you know. Oversized two-car garage with attic storage and gated driveway? Obviously. I live in one of Studio City's most coveted neighborhoods, where the air smells like success and a hint of eucalyptus. You're minutes from the Studio City Farmers Market, Warner Bros. Studios, Granville, Firefly, SunCafe Organic, the NoHo Recreation Center, and the kind of trendy coffee shops that make your iced latte feel like an accessory. Not to mention Runyon Canyon and the Hollywood Walk of Fame are just a short drive away. (Get ready for lots of "oh hey, isn't that?" moments.) Did I mention hundreds of thousands of pesos/yen/kroner/drakma were lovingly poured into me? I'm basically a house-shaped love letter with great lighting. This is a rare and unique opportunity to own something special... a little bit classic, a little bit cheeky, and a whole lot of "won't last long." Book your private showing, come to the Open House, or just reach out to the amazing humans representing me. Trust me you want to see me in person. Pictures don't quite capture my charm (or my secret wine cellar). See you soon.
