A quaint 1939 English Tudor home with a very relaxing, warm and cozy ambiance. Our home is inviting and eclectic. This enchanting space mixes vintage details with modern amenities. Find tranquility in the beautiful landscaped backyard with hillside views.
The space
Entrance to the house is at the rear of the property. You will travel down the side yard pathway to the backyard and enter through French doors leading to the family room, which is large, bright and airy, and perfect for relaxing and taking in the beautiful hillside view.
The kitchen has been updated, and has a vintage flair. It is fully equipped, with a Aga custom stove that includes 4 ovens and 5 burners, a convection microwave oven, and other modern day amenities that make this kitchen perfect for those who wish to prepare a home meal.
There are 2 bathrooms, both which have been updated. The guest bath includes a separate shower and tub, and the master bathroom has a deep soaking tub.
The garden is quite lovely and is equipped with outdoor dining tables, a BBQ grill, and chaise lounge chairs. Access to the garden is on the lower level of the yard and would be shared space with guests residing in the upstairs unit. In the years I have been hosting, most guests are touring Los Angeles, and a few might visit the garden for it's fruits, but most just take in the picturesque garden hillside view from the balcony.
There is potential for noise because there is a rental unit above. We ask all guests to observe the quite hours of 10 pm - 8 am and we have been most fortunate to have had guests who are respectful of the property and house rules. The bedrooms for this unit are situated below the upstairs kitchen and living room. You may hear guests walking upstairs in the morning, if you are a light sleeper or like to sleep in.
Parking is on the street and there are no parking restrictions. We are located in a quiet residential neighborhood and on most occasions you can park in front of the house.
Guest access
Guests are welcome to enjoy the lower level garden which includes a barbecue, tables for dining, fruit trees, and serene hillside view, creating the perfect setting for relaxation.
