Tucked behind a gated entry lined with privacy hedging and exclusive private driveway access, this fully detached 1940s traditional bungalow (the front half of a duplex) has been completely updated and offers the privacy of a single-family home in... the heart of Miracle Mile, with easy access to all parts of Los Angeles. The front door opens into a light-filled great room with a loft-like feel, where an office nook, living area, and dining space flow together beneath dramatic vaulted, wood-beamed ceilings and warm hardwood floors, anchored by a cozy bay-window banquette overlooking bursts of magenta bougainvillea. The updated kitchen features stainless steel appliances, a gas range, butcher block counters, and a slate tile accent wall, while the spacious bedroom and spa-like bathroom complete with a walk-in shower, floating marble bench, and subway tile round out the main house. Beyond it, a detached garage has been transformed into a versatile studio with its own mini-split AC and full bathroom, perfect as a second bedroom, guest suite, office, or creative space. Outside, a generous patio shaded by palms and bougainvillea connects to a drought-tolerant garden of agave and succulents, all wrapped in the privacy of a fully gated lot. Unfurnished and move-in ready, this is a rare chance to lease a private, character-filled retreat with flexible bonus space in an unbeatable location. Read More
