A Rare Opportunity in Historic Lafayette Square. This property benefits from the Mills Act program, offering significant property tax savings. Inside the gates of Lafayette Square, one of Los Angeles' most exclusive historic communities, this Spanish Revival residence blends architectural elegance with thoughtful modern updates. The interiors are filled with charm: soaring ceilings, graceful archways, intricate plaster detailing, vintage light fixtures, and striking wrought iron work that reflects true craftsmanship. Gleaming hardwood floors run throughout, and the home is flooded with natural light from morning until evening. In the front den, an original indoor fountain creates a unique centerpiece that brings both beauty and tranquility to the space. The kitchen and baths showcase crafted tilework that pays homage to the home's Spanish roots while blending seamlessly with modern upgrades. High-end stainless steel appliances complement the kitchen's design, offering both style and performance. Other recent improvements include updated electrical, copper plumbing, and gutters, a tankless water heater, and two HVAC systems, one dedicated to the upstairs and another for the downstairs, ensuring comfort and efficiency throughout the home. The floor plan offers four bedrooms and three baths with excellent flow. The primary bedroom suite upstairs features a sunlit sitting room or office and an ensuite with exquisite original tilework. On the first floor, a guest bedroom with an adjoining bath and den provides comfort and flexibility. Outdoors, the property becomes a tropical retreat. A sparkling pool and spa anchor the lush backyard, complemented by enchanting patio areas designed for dining, entertaining, and relaxed evenings under the California sky. Lafayette Square offers the rare experience of a gated neighborhood filled with historic architectural treasures on tree-lined streets, all just minutes from Beverly Hills, Culver City, and Downtown Los Angeles. This home is an extraordinary opportunity to live in one of the city's most desirable enclaves. This place has to be seen to be believed.
