About This Home

As of October 2017

Own a piece of Hollywood history with an original 1922 Paramount Studio bungalow! Quintessential California living becomes a reality in this tranquil, super-private, lovingly restored Spanish home set far back from the street. Abundant light moves throughout this solar-powered 1 bed/1 bath + den home with new tankless water heater, new garage roof, new light fixtures, new water line, new sewer clean-outs, fresh paint inside & out, stacked washer & dryer, stainless steel appliances, updated electrical, fully retrofitted & bolted foundation, tons of storage, huge bathroom with dual shower heads, and Kohler fixtures. Spanish paver floors beneath gorgeous archways exude charm & sophistication. An ivy-covered 7-foot wood fence surrounds the home and its giant Queen Palm tree, private sundeck off master, and large brick patio. This one is done done done! Easy access to the 101, walking distance to the Edmon, La Descarga, and everything Hollywood's exploding Melrose Hill area has to offer.
