On walks with my dog throughout the neighborhood over the years I’ve always stopped to admire this gorgeous craftsman. Perhaps the best looking home on this stretch of Melbourne in Los Feliz, just east of Los Feliz Village, the lovely 3 bed/3 bath home and grassy flat backyard has been thoughtfully renovated in 2016 and again just last year, in 2020.
The recent updates have incorporated the latest modern design concepts while respecting the original vintage architecture that is such a signature to the Arts and Crafts movement of the early 1900s.
By my guess, the long driveway can easily fit four or five cars. From the front porch, enter the home into a brightly lit, oversized entry and living room. The first of two.
The row of windows help create an excellent reading nook, work space, or add a daybed for the ultimate chaise lounge area.
The living room features bookshelves, storage, recessed lighting, and notice the hardwood floors throughout.
The formal dining room is seriously spacious and has great views of the front yard.
The cook’s kitchen has long granite counters and commercial-grade stainless steel appliances, plus custom cabinetry, and a tile backsplash. Plus, haven’t you always wanted to hang your pots?
The second living room is a large family room that boasts lovely wood beams and opens to the private back yard.
There’s a newly built office space attached to the second living room that could offer multiple uses such as a children’s playroom, home gym, or artists studio.
The en suite primary bedroom is much larger than your typical primary bedroom in 1900s craftsmans.
The primary enjoys a newly renovated, en suite, spa-like bathroom with double sinks and designer finishes.
Two front guest bedrooms provide excellent separation between sleeping quarters, essentially creating separate wings to the house. There are two more full baths and laundry.
In the private and fenced-in backyard, you’ll find a stylish, full-length wood deck with a pergola for shade. The deck has built-in storage that doubles as seating. It will be absolutely perfect for al fresco gatherings with family and friends throughout the year.
There’s also a charming, barn-like garage that could be used for multiple purposes including possibly as an ADU, guest suite, or game room. The flat, grassy yard is great for dogs.
4317 Melbourne Avenue is located in one of Los Angeles’s best school districts, from kindergarten through high school. Its choice location allows you to live just a stone’s throw from the area’s best cafes and shops, mere minutes to Griffith Park’s best hikes, and a short drive to the studios in Burbank and beyond.
