Imagine the perfect craftsman. Think: relaxing porch, awesome backyard and pool, a grassy yard for picnics with the kids and the dogs, an upgraded kitchen inside, a craftsman with more than one full baths, enough bedrooms, and, yes, all that glorious original craftsman-style woodwork. Now imagine your perfect craftsman is in your perfect neighborhood, in that sweet spot nestled between Beachwood Canyon and Los Feliz, close to great shops, restaurants, amazing hikes, and so much more. The word “dreamy” only begins to describe 1924 Canyon Drive.
Looking at it, it may be difficult to believe the home was built in 1916. The property house is gated and hidden from the street by mature landscaping. Once you enter through the gate, all the worries from city life seem to drop away. The grounds are expertly and lushly landscaped and the brick path is downright charming.
A sweeping roof line hovers over the large front porch. Thankfully, the wood beams have maintained their natural wood stain. You’ll love that. And what perfect craftsman porch would be complete without a porch swing? The exterior is a perfect blend of brick, wood, and period-specific hues.
Once inside 1924 Canyon Drive, you will find gorgeous and gleaming hardwood floors, crown moldings, wood paneling, and wonderful 1910s built-ins. Expansive and original leaded-glass windows bring the lush, green outdoors inside. The living room also boasts an original fireplace.
Not one but two original built-in china cabinets can be found in the formal dining room.
The bright and airy kitchen feels authentic and yet totally modern. Walls of windows let in plenty of light,. The stainless-steel appliances, kitchen island with prep sink with room for bar stools, original built-ins, custom cabinets painted a lovely blue hue, and a nice tiled backsplash all combine to create a one-of-a-kind kitchen.
And I didn’t even mention this deep and wide farmhouse sink.
Or this built-in diner-style banquette booth with hidden storage. Why skip breakfast when you can enjoy it here each morning?
The main house boasts three bedrooms and two updated bathrooms.
One bath is quite large and has a step-in shower with frameless glass enclosure.
While the other enjoys a soaking tub.
The second upstairs bath enjoys calming treetop views.
The third bedroom is on the first floor.
Okay, let’s move onto this absolutely charming guest studio. Yes, it is a converted garage, and what an amazing conversion.
This versatile space could be used as a fourth bedroom, office, writer’s room, pool house, or gym.
The studio has stacked full-sized laundry machines perfect for all those beach towels). NOTE: There are additional laundry hook-ups in the main house.
And a walk-in shower with easy outdoor access to the backyard and pool.
And come on, this pool is simply to die for. 1924 Canyon Drive’s backyard is one for the books, offering the best of Southern California indoor/outdoor living.
The swimmer’s pool features three waterfalls, a Baja shelf, and an elevated sun deck.
The property also boasts multiple outdoor entertaining and dining areas.
I’ve seen hundreds (maybe thousands?) of craftsman homes over my years of working in real estate. It’s one of my favorite architectural styles. And on a given day I may even say my favorite style. And today is one of those days. because 1924 Canyon Drive is simply one of the best in recent memory.
I’d love to show you this incredible Beachwood Canyon craftsman home. Let’s do it. Call me today at (937) 243-2349 or email me at tatiana.tensen@sothebyshomes.com.
