Welcome to this unique home in the coveted Valley Village neighborhood of Los Angeles. Built in 1942 and thoughtfully updated, this charming property features a main house with 2 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, and vinyl wood floors with original hardwood underneath.
The spacious living room flows into a dining area, which leads to a bright kitchen with white cabinetry, granite countertops, an electric stove, gas oven, and stainless steel dishwasher. The kitchen island is perfect for casual dining or entertaining. The kitchen opens to a family room and an office that can easily be converted into a second bedroom with the addition of barn doors.
The family room leads to a lush, private backyard, ideal for outdoor relaxation and entertaining. The laundry area, located in the pantry, includes both washer and dryer.
A standout feature is the beautifully designed, one-bedroom, one-bath ADU (Accessory dwelling unit) , built with permits just a year ago. The seller spent $250,000 on this amazing back unit.
