About This Home
As of May 2025ONE OF THE LOWEST PRICE PER SQURE FOOT HOMES IN STUDIO CITY! Hey there, future homeowner, I'm me, 4559 Morella Ave, your future home with just the right amount of charm, character, and "hey, I've got it all together" vibes. Built in 1940, I'm a classic California Traditional home that's been upgraded and remodeled to match the modern-day demands of someone who knows what they want. Think crown moldings, three fireplaces (yes, THREE), and a beamed ceiling that'll make you feel like you're living in a cozy, elevated movie set. When you walk through my front door, you'll notice the entry on the main level, with a guest bath that screams "come on in, make yourself comfortable." To your left, there's the formal living room - perfect for cozy nights in or impressing friends with your impeccable taste. Keep walking, and you'll find a spacious dining area, followed by a kitchen so well-equipped it practically does the cooking for you (okay, not really, but it's g o o d). We're talking stainless steel appliances, a breakfast nook for your morning coffee, a pantry that holds a lot of snacks (or your collection of cookbooks), and a breakfast bar for those mornings when you just can't be bothered to sit down. The formal dining room is next to the kitchen, because why not impress your dinner guests with a seamless flow from cooking to dining? My 3 spacious bedrooms and 3 bathrooms are a sweet retreat after a long day. The primary bathroom is practically a spa with a claw foot tub, separate shower, dual vanity, and a closet/cubby space that makes you think, "I could actually organize my life here." Oh, and did I mention there's a zen garden space right off the bathroom? I mean, what else do you need in life? (The answer is more zen gardens, but we're on the right track here). The other bathrooms also come with plenty of storage and space. Because why choose between storage and traditional style when you can have both? The whole place is filled with hardwood floors, soft carpets (for those relaxing days in bed), and sleek tile. Many windows are double-paned to keep the noise out unless you're into the peaceful hum of Studio City living. Recessed lighting keeps the ambiance bright and modern, while fun fixtures show off that little personality you're craving. And if you're one of those people who loves a good laundry day, I've got a laundry area inside with extra storage to make life easier. Let's not forget to talk about my yard: I'm sitting on a sizable 9,919 square feet of land, with a beautifully designed front and backyard. (I'm basically the Beyonce of corner lot front yards.) The sprinkler system keeps me looking fresh, and I'm all set on the corner lot with a remote-gated entry for that added touch of exclusivity. My power gated driveway? Oh, I've got parking for two cars in my garage and more space in the driveway - perfect for when you want to invite all your friends over. I am happy to include the TV in the living room and wine cooler inside, but the washer, dryer, ring camera, garage fridge, and exterior TV are leaving w/o me. If all THAT wasn't enough, I'm located in one of the most coveted areas of Studio City, with easy access to local gems like the Studio City Farmers Market, Book star, The Tasting Kitchen, and even a tour of Warner Bros. Studios. You'll never run out of places to go or things to eat with favorites like Granville, Firefly, and Sun Cafe Organic right around the corner. Want to hike? Runyon Canyon and the Hollywood Walk of Fame are just a short drive away. Life is pretty sweet when you're living this close to everything. This is a unique opportunity, folks. I'm waiting and I'm ready for you. Hugs, 4559 Morella.
