About This Home
As of December 2024Welcome to a charming cottage in one of the finest tree-lined pocket neighborhoods in Studio City. This adorable home has new Milgard windows, a sensational updated chef's kitchen with black beadboard kitchen cabinets, caesarstone countertops, and a farm sink all opening onto the dining room which makes a wonderful place to entertain. There are beautiful oak hardwood floors throughout and the living room is flooded with plenty of natural light. Two delightful bedrooms share a full bath and the primary bedroom has a walk-in-closet and a French door where you will step out into an incredible zen-like garden with a romantic alfresco dining area. You will love this magical backyard which includes a covered deck, beautifully landscaped garden with Japanese Maple and Fig Trees. Best of all, the approximately 340 square-feet studio (former garage, house is 1,083) is loaded with cabinet space, cork floors and rich French doors that cascade open to an amazing view of the greenery and inspiring setting. This area has been converted into a spacious studio which is also great for a good work-out. Walk, bike or roll to great shops and restaurants including a newly remodeled Whole Foods, Hugos, Monster Thai, Gino's East, M&M Market, M Street Coffee and soon to be open Sportsman's Landing with easy access to Beverly Hills and the Westside. Also enjoy the awesome 4th of July parade with fun for everyone. This carefully maintained home is a gem located in Studio City's most coveted area.
