Bungalow

Rare gem of Valley Village! Tucked behind lush, mature landscaping, this extraordinary property feels every bit like a single-family home. Follow the stone pathway through a beautifully manicured garden to your private entrance adorned with a trickling fountain and charming Dutch door, the first of many distinctive details that make this residence truly unforgettable. Inside, sunlit rooms flow effortlessly across stunning hardwood floors, anchored by a massive picture window and charming stone fireplace. Custom built-ins create endless function, storage and charm in every space while the in ceiling surround sound system helps to create atmosphere throughout the entire home. The thoughtfully designed chef's kitchen is both elegant and functional, boasting new high-end appliances, a walk-in pantry with a powered appliance bar, generous countertop outlets, and a hidden ice maker behind custom paneling. Designer tile, upscale fixtures, and warm lighting add layers of sophistication. A skylight over the dining area fills the home with natural light, enhancing the open, airy feel. The primary suite is a tranquil retreat featuring a cozy sitting nook and a large single-pane picture window framing the lush greenery and a graceful Japanese maple. The inviting bed alcove enhances the feeling of serenity, while the spa-inspired bathroom offers a deep soaking tub, separate shower with river rock flooring, and a spacious custom walk-in closet with laundry discreetly tucked inside. A second skylight in the primary bathroom brings in soft, natural light to complete the spa experience. The guest suite feels like its own private haven, with a pocket door creating separation from the main living area. A mini foyer with built-in storage leads to a fun guest bath with a luxurious shower. A custom built-in desk and shelving make this space equally ideal for guests or remote work, with views of the gardens and fruit trees. From the light-filled living room, French doors open to a private stone patio, the heart of the outdoor sanctuary. Dine al fresco beneath the stars or relax to the soothing sound of three serene fountains scattered among winding stone pathways. The grounds are framed by towering ficus trees and romantic flowering vines, creating a secluded, storybook atmosphere. Mature and abundant lime, lemon, and mandarin trees provide color, fragrance, and a touch of orchard charm year-round. A separate single-car garage has been smartly converted into a versatile office and gym space, freshly painted and equipped with a wall-unit AC, while still allowing for vehicle parking if desired. There's also a secure gate leading to a private back entrance with convenient access from the rear parking area, the perfect blend of privacy and practicality. Seller improvements: 1 year old roof on both main home and garage, new refrigerator and dishwasher, new water heater, converted garage space.
