Perched up on a grassy knoll, this impressive Frank Lloyd Wright inspired home sits on nearly a quarter acre, an easy distance from Larchmont Village. It includes 4 bdrms and 4 baths (main house) plus guest house (large studio with 1 bath). Though updated and expanded, it still delights with much of its original character and charm; a sitting room off the primary, French windows, leaded glass windows, leaded glass cabinets, architectural crown moldings, a working Batchelder-tiled fireplace, crystal doorknobs, thick mahogany doors, and many original solid brass fixtures showcase the craftsmanship of a bygone era. The large sun-drenched family room off the kitchen (with 12ft ceilings) and permitted guest quarters (576sf) above a large (24 x 24) garage were all built after 2000: a full bath was added (downstairs off the den) when the kitchen and powder room were completely remodeled in 2015. The main house, built in 1918, has only seen 2 owners...and its flat-roofed, wide-eved, Prairie School design is unique in the Hancock Park/Windsor Square area (perfect for making rooftop patios). Margo, the local antique maven for 30 years, was instrumental in making North Larchmont an antiques destination. Her garden is filled with hundreds of flowers and numerous fruit trees: lilac, lavender, orchids, lilies, hydrangea, iris, camelias, jasmine, and too many roses to count, 2 avocado trees, 3 lime trees, 2 apple trees, 2 lemon trees, 2 apricot trees, papayas, figs, oranges, pomegranates, persimmons, tangerines and a wonderful peach tree. There is room to expand, room for a pool, or simply move right in. Just don't let another generation go by without seeing why this beautiful estate is one to keep. Assessor square footage on the main house is stated as 2,802 square feet while the guest quarters above the garage is approximately 576 Sq. Ft. for a total combined 3,378 square feet of living space.
