Behind a gated entry and nestled in one of LA's most sought after neighborhoods, this private residence is comprised of both a light filled main house and the rare bonus of a detached stylish ADU. Upon entry there's a welcoming view all the way to the serene backyard beyond and in the center of the home an open living space, bathed in natural light, complete with fireplace, tall ceilings and retractable doors which disappear to provide that quintessential LA indoor-outdoor living experience. Chic landscaping and generous covered patio create an ideal setting for alfresco dining + relaxation or for a touch of seclusion, head upstairs to the rooftop patio and enjoy the view. The large kitchen with floor to ceiling windows and countertop seating, has a well sized casual dining/breakfast area. Between the kitchen and spacious dining room, with built-ins and an impressive wine fridge, there's a tucked away secondary smaller kitchen which is fantastic for entertaining or for everyday life to provide generous storage and additional cooktop, oven and dishwasher. The first bedroom and bathroom are ideally situated on the first floor offering flexibility as either a home office, den or gym. Upstairs the serene primary suite has two closets, dressing area and chic bathroom. Additionally there are two more bedrooms with ensuite baths and a convenient laundry room on this level. Adding to the appeal is the detached well appointed ADU featuring a private entrance, bedroom, bathroom, full kitchen and a comfortable living and dining area. Lots of possibilities with this flexible space for visiting guests, office, gym, or just a place to enjoy a little privacy from the main house. Completing the picture is an attached garage with direct entry to the home, gated driveway and entry intercom. Located just moments from the Grove and Melrose District you'll enjoy an array of restaurants, cafes, and shops plus the local Farmer's Market, Erewhon + Whole Foods. Close to the Grove is Pan Pacific park with green spaces, jogging trails, basketball courts, soccer field etc and a seasonal swimming pool. This home can be rented either unfurnished or partially furnished and comes with a paid gardener plus a paid monthly cleaning service if desired.
