About this home

Set on a desirable street in Valley Glen, this beautifully preserved and enhanced 1920s Craftsman bungalow offers a seamless blend of character and convenience. Ideal for a history enthusiast who appreciates the timeless character and functionality of a Craftsman, it is rumored to have been moved from its original location to accommodate the development of the Hollywood Freeway in the 1940s! The craftsmanship from the 1920s era is meticulously showcased throughout the home. The front door is framed with sidelight windows, allowing natural light to fill the space. Rich wood beams accent the ceiling. The beautiful fireplace with hand-made Batchelder-style tiles is a centerpiece of the living room, tucked perfectly between classic built-ins and charming stained-glass windows. Detailed fixtures and wood flooring complement the 1920s design. The first floor features three bedrooms and two bathrooms, while the loft above provides extra space ideal for a home office, guest room, or creative retreat. The updated kitchen has granite counter-tops, ample storage, a large walk-in pantry, and top-of-the-line appliances, which create an ideal space for cooking and entertaining. There is a large laundry room off the kitchen with even more storage and a door leading to the backyard. The secluded outdoor space with lovely landscaping is ideal for a Southern California lifestyle. With an enclosed front yard, gated driveway, carport, and one-car garage, there is plenty of parking and privacy. The spacious front porch is a charming accent from which to welcome guests or decorate for a host of holidays. Close to everyday amenities and easy access to major Valley thoroughfares and freeways. This is a special property from another era waiting for its next chapter.
