Located on a tree-lined street within the sought-after Miracle Mile North HPOZ, this timeless 1933 Spanish residence perfectly balances period craftsmanship with modern comfort. Enter through a wisteria-draped courtyard with a central fountain that evokes the romance of old California and offers an enchanting first glimpse of the character waiting within. Inside, a wrought-iron spiral staircase anchors the foyer, where arched doorways reveal a sunken living room with soaring beamed ceilings and gas fireplace, a connecting office, and formal dining.  The chef’s kitchen features stainless steel appliances, Brazilian granite counters, a center island with bar seating, and skylights above, opening to a sunlit breakfast area and casual living room that flows seamlessly to the back garden. Upstairs, three bedrooms include a primary suite with two walk-in closets, an updated bathroom with soaking tub, and access to the front balcony that overlooks the romantic courtyard below. Two additional bedrooms, both with walk-in closets, are connected via a Jack-and-Jill bathroom, while the rear bedroom opens to a generous private patio framing views to the Hollywood Sign. A detached guest unit above the two-car garage, complete with a ¾ bath, provides flexible space for guests, office, or artist’s studio.The enclosed back garden is a private sanctuary beneath a canopy of mature trees, featuring an oversized saltwater pool and spa, an artificial lawn, and multiple seating areas, all framed by lush hedging. Additional amenities include solar panels, Tesla EV charger, and exterior security cameras. Ideally situated moments from Pan Pacific Park, The Original Farmers Market, and The Grove, this is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Los Angeles history in one of the city’s most celebrated neighborhoods.
