You will love the elegant, yet relaxed character of this two-story 1934 Spanish Colonial in Griffith Park. I did. The brick, the crown moulding, the wood floors, french doors, the garden, the nearly wraparound porches. It’s all here, and tastefully restored in a sophisticated, dynamic fashion.
Upon entering the home, you are greeted with a wide staircase and an open layout in all four directions. I wasn’t sure which I wanted to check out first. 
The heart of the home, this living room, features tall windows, taller ceilings, and a classic fireplace with a distinguished marble mantelpiece.
The dining room’s white wainscoting, baseboards, chair rails and crown moulding accentuate a stark, graceful blue wall color that feels at once provocative and relaxing. The new, hip lighting fixture, large windows, and French doors to the garden make this an irresistible place for entertaining.
There is a remarkable amount of storage space in this kitchen, both open and enclosed and new stainless steel Viking appliances. The huge barn sink overlooks the lush garden, which we will get to in just a moment, I promise.
Exposed brick in the forefront of the house offer this room a distinct and separate flavor, making it perfect for a home office, art studio, playroom, or even another bedroom.
The spacious master suite features beautiful masonry, exquisite hardwood floors, and access to a private patio space
This private porch from the master suite has a stunning view of the front yard’s 100+ years old oak tree.
Each of the bathrooms have been renovated, yet maintain a classic, clean, old school ambience. The en suite master bathroom has both a luxurious clawfoot tub and a subway tiled stand-up shower.
The garden is surrounded by abundant greenery in each direction. It was a very hot day when I visited, but the garden felt cool and Even though you may be just minutes from Los Feliz Village, Glendale, and Hollywood, you will fill completely at ease and removed in this true backyard oasis.
