Character turn-key 1920's Mediterranean in the sought-after, verdant Footbridge Square neighborhood of Studio City. Stroll through the front garden with its vibrant lush plantings, through an arched entry portico leading to the sunny, high-ceiling living room with original oak hardwood floors, French windows, and Batchelder-style tile fireplace. Step up two vintage tiled stairs to the bright open kitchen with stone countertops, ample storage and stainless steel appliances, opening directly to the dining room. Completing the first floor are two well-appointed bedrooms, a large period-style bath, laundry area, and a massive bonus/game/media room with great storage room, and banks of French doors to the yard. Upstairs, a sprawling, true primary retreat awaits with soaring vaulted ceilings, a dual-vanity bath, tons of closet space, a make-up nook, and a balcony overlooking the grounds. Anchored by a hero old-growth oak, the rear grounds present multiple outdoor spaces, including a flat private grassy area for play or the perfect room for a pool, garden areas, and hardscape for gathering and play. Lovingly cared for over the last 30 years with upgrades including updated electrical and plumbing systems, as well as recent landscaping and paint work. Located within the highly regarded Carpenter Elementary district, just four blocks to all the shops and restaurants along Ventura Blvd and the Studio City Farmer's Market. A rare opportunity for a foothold in one of the best spots in town, under $2MM!!
