Designer owned Spanish Revival in Mid-City with an effortless blend of historic and modern design. Built in the 1930s, this Spanish bungalow, in the coveted Steinkempt style, is the quintessential LA home with the romance of early Spanish styles of the period. Approaching the home, you pass through a lush garden of carefully chosen California Native plants that reflect the coastal chaparral terrain and envelop the home with a sense of privacy. Inside you immediately feel the warmth of historic details including original oak floors, rich mahogany millwork, French casement windows, large picture window, and original corner cabinetry. The living room feels grand with high ceilings, decorative plaster beams, and a stunning Mayan clay craft fireplace. The character remains intact while thoughtful updates were made by the professional design team, Whelan Design House. Specialty lighting by In Common With, Allied Maker, and Urban Electric can be found throughout the house. The kitchen has been re-imagined in a beautiful and functional way featuring custom inset cabinetry, ZLine appliances, and period-appropriate glazed terra cotta tiles. The bathroom is spacious with black slate floors, carrara marble, a clawfoot soaking tub and a generous skylight that bathes the room in natural light. The bedrooms boast intricate wedding cake plaster and views out to the verdant backyard. The primary bedroom opens onto a patio with mosaic Saltillo tile and a passion fruit vine draped pergola - a great spot for your morning coffee. The backyard is a dreamscape with lush native and regionally appropriate plants and a custom ipe-wood bench, conducive for sitting and enjoying the songbirds or dining al fresco with friends. The detached garage has been converted to a flex space which could be used as a gym, office or to accommodate guests.
