About This Home

As of September 2024

In the heart of Franklin Village, a true gem awaits a meticulously renovated Craftsman home with a separate guest house. This 4-bedroom, 4-bathroom beauty has been lovingly restored, paying homage to the original character of the home. Step inside and be greeted by high ceilings, elegant moldings, and gleaming hardwood floors that whisper stories of the past. The original windows bathe the sun-filled rooms in natural light, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout. The bathrooms have been tastefully renovated, and the large kitchen, complete with a breakfast bar, is a chef's dream. As you explore further, the romantic stained glass and original oak paneling cabinetry and windows will capture your heart, adding an extra layer of charm to this already enchanting abode. The separate accessory living quarters, boasting high ceilings and an open floor plan, is ideal for both office space and accommodating guests, complete with a Murphy bed and a renovated bathroom. Step outside to discover a lush rear deck overlooking the enchanting backyard, with a porte-cochere adorned by the cascading beauty of Wisteria framing the long driveway. The large 9450 SF lot is a stunning landscape featuring Japanese maple, wisteria, dogwood, and pomegranate, creating a tranquil and picturesque outdoor oasis. Nearby Franklin strip offers the best of LA life with The Oaks Gourmet, La Poubelle, Gelsons, Birds, Daily Planet, Hollywood/Western Metro station, and Upright Citizens Brigade just a stone's throw away.
