Just like the house combines the just right amount vintage details and modern upgrades, this home also combines high style with low-key comfort. The living room has a beautiful brick fireplace, built-in shelving, and hardwood floors.
And this large steel casement window that helps bring the outdoors inside.
The home maintains many of its great original elements.
A dining room off the kitchen has lovely views of the lush hillside.
The remodeled kitchen features custom-built cabinetry, beautiful Heath tile, top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances, and a carefully placed window to take in views of the Griffith Observatory.
The first of two generous bedrooms. Both boast immaculate hardwood floors and those stylish steel casement windows that are hard to find these days.
Both bathrooms have been lovingly restored and designed. This en suite master bath features a gorgeous hardwood vanity, mirrors that provide plenty of storage, a soaking tub with Heath subway tiles.
And the master bath is highlighted by an original engineered indoor/outdoor walk-in shower that is seriously so cool that I am going to show three pictures of it.
Open the wood slatted panels, or why not the whole door for a bit of mountain air. The hillside surrounds the home so you can feel safe and private and not worry about any nosy neighbors.
The chic wood deck outside of the shower creates a spa-like feel to the bath.
The second bedroom is similarly spacious with awesome lighting, polished wood floors, and two steel casement windows that offer hillside views.
Could that be a dumbwaiter? I love seeing those out in the wild!
3927 Melbourne also includes a nicely designed laundry room with a sink a storage.
Outdoors you will find a thoughtfully landscaped and private oasis perfect for entertaining.
I mean, talk about lush. The landscape designer, Matthew Brown, is one of the best in his field. He’s been popping up all over Los Angeles (and in Architectural Digest) and was the landscape designer for one of Marilyn Monroe’s former homes. Brown is also a board member of The Oaks School and Art Division.
The roof, electrical and HVAC systems are newer and solar panels have been installed.
Seriously perhaps my favorite home I’ve seen so far this year and it might be yours too! 3927 Melbourne is sited on an elevated lot to take advantage of sunset views, a peaceful and enviable location, but still just a stone’s throw to Los Feliz Village.
