This five-bedroom, 4-bath, 3,885sf custom home combines Southwestern and Craftsman design with high-thermal-mass passive cooling and water-conserving yet lush-looking landscaping. The Hollywood sign, DTLA skyline, and part of the LA Memorial Coliseum are all visible from the rooftop deck. Raised garden beds in front and Spanish-tiled patio in back, including a modest collection of fruit trees (blood orange, lime, peach, guava, and apple), gingko & chitalpa shade trees, and a cascade fountain, make this a peaceful oasis just three blocks from the USC campus, Exposition Park, and an E-Line Metro stop. The three-car garage with laundry room opens into the paved alley behind the property. Above the spacious garage is an equally spacious 682sf studio apartment permitted as an ADU: it is hands-down the most beautiful studio apartment in Los Angeles, with high vaulted ceilings, mini-split air conditioning/heating, and a floor-to-ceiling architectural glass atrium bump-out facing south to make the most of the California sunshine (and equipped with custom blackout blinds when you don’t want quite so much sun!). The whole property is perfect for extended family living, a home-based business with on-site office suite or artist/recording studio, or premium-quality family-style student housing.
