Original details remain thoughtfully preserved, including a Batchelder fireplace, while elevated finishes such as heated floors, a steam shower with triple heads, and a Toto Japanese toilet bring a refined edge to the primary suite. Step outside to a west-facing garden retreat wrapped in fragrant jasmine, with a fountain, dining pavilion, and a striking pool that feels both serene and cinematic. A fully permitted guest house with 1 bedroom, 1 bath, and flexible office or gym space adds versatility. Collected, character-driven detailsMoroccan-imported closet doors and a bath featuring a pink sink and toilet sourced from the Dorothy Chandler estate alongside a lilac bathtub underscore the home's one-of-a-kind personality. A rare offering where design, privacy, and location converge this is Melrose Village living at its most compelling. OFFERS ARE DUE ON THURSDAY, APRIL 23RD AT 12PM.
