Gorgeous Craftsman rich with character and renovated to perfection near Larchmont village. The first restoration of this historic property came in 2019 when HGTV's Tarek & Heather El Moussa purchased the home and spent months reimagining the design, while leaving cherished details in tact. A welcoming front porch wraps around the entire front of the house as the extra-wide wooden door with glass emblem detail leads you into the beautiful spaces. New hardwood flooring, dual-paned windows and designer touches can be found throughout. Original plaster walls, built ins and a newly-tiled fireplace create a warm ambience. Sunshine filters through as you make your way through the dining room, bonus sun porch and adorable eat-in breakfast area. The chef's kitchen was completely redone with new cabinetry, quartz counters, high-end stainless appliances and a large center island with stools which has become the central gathering spot in the kitchen. Primary suite on the 2nd floor enjoys its own level and is surrounded by windows and views of the architectural roof lines. Ensuite primary bath with dual vanity, nickel fixtures and a custom-tiled shower with bench. On the first level are 2 spacious bedrooms that share a renovated hallway bath and a 4th bedroom (or office) nicely located in the front of the house. In 2024 the new caretaker of this lovely home picked up where the El Moussa's left off. Creating gardens in the front and back - intentionally designed with beauty and longevity in mind. Meandering paths, a working pond and outdoor lighting create a tranquil atmosphere for day or night. The front enjoys a newly constructed privacy fence, designed to look like its been there for ages and a well-established jacaranda tree offers a canopy of privacy. Upgrades include foundation bolting, roof repair, electrical & plumbing upgrades and a new irrigation system. Decorator touches throughout include new hardware, window treatments and light fixtures. A new fence at the back of the property and a detached 2-car garage finished off for multiples uses. Take a short stroll to the Larchmont farmers market on Sundays and walk to new coffee shops & LA Grocery at Melrose & Western. A central location alongside a strong sense of community in a beloved neighborhood.
