Description

Could this be your life? You come home from work to walk your pup through this beautiful tree-lined neighborhood, waving to warm neighbors that you connected with at the fun annual Picfair Village pumpkin race. Then you walk over to meet your friends for dinner and a glass of wine at Paper or Plastik. After dinner, you all walk back to your place for dessert under the stars in your charming backyard pergola. You then bid your friends adieu to snuggle up in your spacious bedroom before you start your day anew tomorrow. More adventures await - so many to choose from - maybe sifting through vinyl records at Nivessa vinyl beside Paper or Plastik to add to your collection. Maybe a quick workout at whole body Pilates. Maybe your pup wants to stroll to Belle's Doggie Daycare and Dog Wash for a playdate and a bath? Or brunch at Bloom - a chic neighborhood cafe with great breakfast and lunch! Maybe thrifting a fun outfit at Mumu Mansion? Or simply just staying home and enjoying your beautiful charming 1930s home - where you can to whip up a gourmet meal to enjoy with friends and family in your instagram-worthy dining room. After dinner, you debate between playing cards in the very spacious living room or maybe another round of dessert in that beautiful lush backyard - maybe today's menu includes ice cream with passion fruit sauce from your very own prolific vines? The private backyard is a true retreat, thoughtfully landscaped and anchored by a custom pergola ideal for lounging or hosting under the stars. The outdoor dining area off the kitchen is perfect for al fresco dining. Built in 1938 by Irving Moran, this gorgeous home features charming original moldings and plaster nooks, and a graceful bay window that floods the dining room with that beautiful south-facing sunlight. Brimming with character and warmth, the original hardwood floors flow throughout, lending a sense of classic charm and continuity. We love the many design flourishes that Spanish homes are known for : arches, saltillo tile, arched niches and more. The freshly remodeled kitchen is so chic - with beautiful brass accents and the most darling scalloped backsplash feature - it's the perfect perch to whip up a delicious pasta while your friends toast you from the dining table. This home is a rare blend of historic soul and contemporary upgrades like central heating and air conditioning, newer roof, newer electrical panel, along with a separate laundry room featuring washer and dryer. Nestled in the heart of the city and easily walkable to cafes, shops and restaurants - this Picfair Village home is just minutes from anywhere you wish to be. Enjoy local businesses like Bloom Cafe, Steve's Creole, My 2 Cents, Rosemary & Thyme sandwich shop (don't forget the amazing soft serve ice cream!), Mike's Bike and Board Shop, Madlab Coffee and more. We love the neighborhood events like the annual Pumpkin Race and Picopalooza! All this in a vibrant neighborhood pocket just 20 min from DTLA, 15 min from Culver City, 10 minutes from the Grove, and 20 from the beach! Designed and staged by The Art of Houses.
