Description
Easily the best bang for your buck offering in Lafayette Square. A contemporary expression of the Italian Mediterranean vernacular, this move-in-ready residence sits at the very heart of historic Lafayette Square, offering a rare synthesis of old-world romance and modern California ease. Reimagined in a meticulous, down-to-the-studs renovation and maintained with unwavering care ever since, the home radiates warmth, luminosity, and enduring character. A broad, welcoming front porch sets the tone, ushering you into interiors that feel simultaneously airy and intimate. The generous floor plan includes 4 bedrooms upstairs and a fully realized third-floor attic loft along with four beautifully appointed baths. Sunlight pours through the main-level rooms, which include a serene sunroom, a substantial home office/bedroom option, and two en-suite bedrooms. The primary suite evokes the quiet luxury of an Italian countryside retreat, complete with a fireplace that invites lingering evenings and a private balcony overlooking the tree-lined neighborhood. Ascending to the third floor reveals a flexible loft level (apx. 500 sf?), ideal as a playroom, studio, guest and storage space, or secondary office, enhancing the home's sense of scale and evoking the romance of a classic three-story Italian villa. Outdoors, the property unfolds into a lush Mediterranean garden sanctuary. A vibrant tapestry of lemon, pomegranate, apple, apricot, blood orange, and fig trees anchors the landscape, complemented by thriving grapevines, artichokes, rosemary, and flowering morning glories. A grape-draped pergola creates an enchanting setting for alfresco dining, while a burbling fountain and a dedicated Bocce Ball court infuse the grounds with a feeling of effortless leisure. With its rare four-car garage (giant ADU possibility), side garden, and an unmistakable spirit of both charm and sophistication, this home embodies the quintessential Los Angeles indoor-outdoor lifestyle, infused with just the right touch of Italian allure.
