Spanish hacienda home reimagined and doubled in size to emerge as an exciting two-story, 2,970-sq.-ft., 5-bedroom, 5.5-bath Modern residence plus a new, fully-permitted ADU, for a total of 3,330 square feet of living space. Enter through an arched doorway into the Old World tiled foyer, which opens to the stunning original c. 1931 living room featuring a carved and colorfully-decorated open-beamed wooden cathedral ceiling, period chandelier and period-correct wall sconces, and an updated gas fireplace with period Spanish tile hearth. The room is lightened by new French oak wide plank floors and windows facing north and west. Step up to an arched passageway leading to the capacious open-plan dining room, sitting area, family room and kitchen. The dining room has a large picture window and can flexibly be formal or family-oriented. The chef’s kitchen offers high-end Thermador appliances, plus a large island including sink, dishwasher, wine cooler, and large bar seating area. It is open to a spacious family room, and the rear of this space consists of a fully retractable glass wall that opens to the rear deck overlooking a large back patio with mature landscaping along with water-saving artificial grass. The first floor bedroom wing consists of one original bedroom with character details (including arched doors) and new ensuite contemporary bathroom; a new bedroom and bath suite that also opens to the rear deck and backyard; and a powder room for guests. The staircase to the second floor cleverly separates the kitchen from the dining area; sitting beneath the upper portion of the staircase is a large, enclosed pantry. Upstairs, the second floor consists of a grand primary suite plus two additional children’s bedrooms and a very generous laundry/workroom. The two children’s bedrooms each have their own bathroom, with shower in one and shower over tub in the second, each with modern frameless glass enclosures. The luxurious primary suite spans the entire rear of the new second floor, and is entered from the hallway through double doors. This primary suite offers an extra-large bedroom which opens to a private balcony through double Pella glass doors, and a grand bathroom with free-standing tub, large shower with frameless glass, large vanity with two separated sinks, and adjustable lighted mirrors. The suite’s large walk-in closet features custom cabinetry and solar tube lighting. Both the restored portions of the original residence and the new construction are permitted and built to code. The entire residence is upgraded, including new electric (200 amp); new plumbing supply and drain lines; new sewer line; new dual-zone heating/air-conditioning including NEST WiFi-enabled thermostats; and updated foundation. Other improvements: the front yard is covered with drought resistant plants serviced by a clock controlled sprinkler system; and the driveway has a tall, motor controlled gate providing private access to the ADU or rear of the house with a security touch pad as well as remote control. All together, the main house has a total of five bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms. The studio ADU offers detached "family overflow living space" or a rental income opportunity. It has an open kitchen/living area with a sleeping alcove, a full modern bathroom with a large shower enclosed with frameless glass, and double Pella doors leading to a large private patio shaded by mature trees. Ideal location a few minutes’ drive to the Century City Shopping Center, UCLA, and Westwood Charter Elementary School. Walk to the new Google campus at former Westside Pavilion, well-liked local restaurants on Pico Boulevard, or the Expo line light rail station at Westwood Boulevard (ride to Santa Monica and DTLA).
