1544 N Sierra Bonita Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90046

This 4BR/3.5BA+office 2,723 sq.ft. timeless California Craftsman-style residence propels you back to when its story began in 1918 and forward into the life you want to live today. Located in the highly-desired Sunset Square District - specifically between Sunset and Hollywood Boulevards - this unrepeatable trophy property cannot be built from scratch and combines period details (which have miraculously survived for 106 years) alongside a complete kitchen renovation (done just last year), a Control4 home entertainment system (with speakers throughout), as well as a security system and a pool/spa that can be run by apps. Approach the home through its front yard which is landscaped with native plantings. Overhead, a mature oak tree spreads its branches, offering a cooling effect during long summer days. A porch runs the length of the front of the house - one you'd actually use to watch the world walk by (mostly with dogs or strollers - or dogs in strollers lol). Period details abound in the house's living room. A (re-built) boulder-style fireplace (another thing you'd actually use) with built-in shelving anchors one end of the room. Large double-hung windows line its other walls. The residence's gleaming hardwood floors extend into its formal dining room, which also has a wall of lighted built-ins to showcase collectables, glassware, and fine art objects. A state-of-the art kitchen adjoins dining, and contains a suite of Thermador appliances including double wall convection ovens (with rotisserie attachments), wine refrigeration, built-in microwave, five-burner stove, full-size refrigerator PLUS two additional refrigerated drawers. There is an eat-in area that looks ready for coffee and a Kindle, or a high-chair and a Zoom meeting. Complementing the functionality of the kitchen is a large pantry with ample storage space, a laundry area with an LG washer/dryer and built-in retractable laundry racks, and a powder room with statement wallpaper. A large downstairs bedroom is currently being used as a media room and has built-in Surround Sound. Attached to it is a separate office with built-ins and a bathroom. Three more bedrooms and two more bathrooms comprise the home's second story. The primary bedroom suite is lined with windows which flood it with natural light. The private suite has two walk-in closets and bathroom with step-in shower, free-standing soaking tub, double sink vanity, additional built-ins, and a commode room. The other two bedrooms are adjacent to another bathroom with a tub, step-in shower and double sink vanity. The house's outdoor entertaining areas are accessed either through the kitchen, through the office, or through a side gate from the 2-car tandem driveway. This L.A. oasis comes to life in full sun or complete darkness because of its dramatic outdoor lighting, welcoming pool/spa/waterfall, multi-tiered decks, flagstone pathways, and covered outdoor dining and lounging area. There's also an original one-car garage here (currently used as storage), which could be repurposed into additional usable square footage. 1544 Sierra Bonita ("beautiful mountain range") is close to all the area's shopping, dining, entertainment, and outdoor offerings like Runyon Canyon.
