Description
Built in 1929, at the height of Hollywood's Golden Age, this Spanish Hacienda was commissioned for the early Studioland era, a time when homes were designed with intention, proportion, and lasting character. Set on a rare double-sized 8,001 square foot lot along a quiet, tree-lined street in Toluca Woods, the property stands apart from the more common bungalows of the time, offering architectural scale and presence that has become increasingly hard to find. A formal vestibule entry sets the tone, leading into a living room defined by soaring coved barrel ceilings, arched passageways, and original hardwood floors. A large picture window brings in natural light, while a crisp white plaster fireplace, paired with period-inspired brass fixtures, anchors the space. A dedicated dining room transitions into the kitchen, which has been updated with custom cabinetry, tile flooring, a designer backsplash, and chef-grade appliances. The layout remains practical and well-connected, supporting both everyday use and entertaining. Three well-proportioned bedrooms are positioned along the north side of the home, each with generous closet space and consistent natural light. The front bedroom includes a newly built en suite bath with a clean, modern finish. The main bathroom leans into classic Spanish influence, featuring terra cotta tile, a custom vanity, a deep soaking tub, and wrought-iron fixtures. The backyard opens to a wide, usable setting with a large green area and a covered dining space designed for outdoor living. There is ample room to introduce a pool, expand the deck, or further shape the grounds over time. At the rear of the property, a newly constructed detached ADU, fully permitted in 2026, adds a modern layer to the home's historic foundation. Complete with its own kitchen and bath, it offers immediate flexibility for rental income, a private office, guest quarters, or extended living. Beyond the ADU, a separate bonus structure provides additional space for a studio, gym, workshop, or storage. Alley access introduces further potential, allowing for additional expansion or future use options. Located within walking distance to Toluca Lake Elementary School and just minutes from Ventura Boulevard and the NoHo Arts District. Nearby favorites include Groundwork Coffee Co., Whole Foods Market and Epicurus Gourmet, along with local staples like The Idle Hour and The Front Yard at The Garland Hotel.
