Presenting a charming, original 1927 Spanish Revival gem that has been meticulously maintained and restored while retaining all of its character and period detail, complete with a beautiful yard and gardens for dining and entertaining. Located in the Lafayette Historic District, this bungalow — originally a part of the MGM studios backlot — is a prize of its classic Hollywood era and one of twelve residences promising the ultimate California indoor-outdoor lifestyle. The living room has a double-height vaulted ceiling with exposed beams, stucco fireplace with insets for displaying art pieces, rich hardwood floors, and two sets of French doors which open to beautiful, light-filled hedged gardens and stone pathways. Through a wide arched doorway, an adjacent library nook offers inspiration, pensive moments, and quiet solitude. A large dining room is adjacent to the charming kitchen, which is restored and updated, appointed with an abundance of custom cabinetry, subway tile backsplash, stainless-steel appliances, and patio access for al-fresco bites and conversations with friends. The dining room has a built-in china cabinet and French doors that open to an additional private open-air space with mature fruit-bearing citrus trees and a stunning olive tree. Ascend the dramatic staircase, with its scalloped banister designed by an MGM production designer of the 1920s and inswing casement windows, to discover spacious bedrooms and a full bathroom with built-ins and original arched shower. Other amenities and conveniences include a wellness-forward cold plunge, one-car garage, permitted street parking in addition to driveway parking, and close proximity to the police department, first-rate Culver City school, city hall, stage and film theaters, and some of the best restaurants in the Los Angeles area. A nearby four-mile bike path leads directly to the beach! The Culver Steps are also very close by. Welcome to a life well-lived and immersed in the cultural fabric of downtown Culver City, with its frequent community gatherings and events, Tuesday farmers market, thriving social scene, boutiques, eateries, and coffee shops. Here, the fortunate new owner (who would be the third family since it was purchased by MGM’s lead cinematographer) has the opportunity to live in a charming, historically designated house while having the added benefit of an explorable, close-knit neighborhood with a high Walk and Bike Score. Centrally located near Metro light rail and freeways, the home is within just twenty minutes of many highly sought destinations including Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, Downtown LA, West Hollywood, and LAX.
