Meticulously maintained and thoughtfully restored, this 1923 English Revival is nestled in the private and semi-gated enclave of La Fayette Square Square, one of LA's best kept secrets. Enter through a traditional foyer flanked by a formal dining room and an expansive living room featuring a Batchelder tiled fireplace. French doors lead to an outdoor entertaining area including an open-air kitchen and fireplace. A first floor bedroom, which can serve as a den or office, is joined by a beautifully redesigned kitchen, bathroom and laundry room. The second level boasts another 3 bedrooms, each with oversized closets, including a generous and airy master. Sun bathes the entire home through elegant French windows. The historic property is bejeweled with designer window and wall treatments, refinished floors and antique lighting fixtures which graciously preserve its original character. A sizable yard offers plenty of room for sports, expansion or pool. The house is in HPOZ and Mills Act app
