There's no better proof that "good. .. no wait, scratch that. .. GREAT things come in small packages!" This absolutely adorable former writer's cottage, located on a quiet and lovely tree-lined street behind Raleigh Studios, is the perfect Larchmont Village area pied-a-terre or condo alternative. Stylish and cozy. Gated and hidden from the street behind a tall stand of ficus trees. Excellent use is made of both the indoor and outdoor space allowing a much larger living style than square footage alone might suggest. French doors off kitchen lead to a peaceful and meditative sitting area with vintage mid-century wood stove. These cottages have been prized catches by many when they hit the market and done to the 9's by some. 5140 is particularly desirable because it has a very rare feature on these compact lots - a single car garage offering the possibility of a separate office, an art studio or even. .. covered parking(!) for your prized conveyance. Leave the car parked and walk to Osteria La Buca for a fabulous meal or the bar and lounge at the Hollywood Historic Hotel, super convenient freeway access, moments to Larchmont Village, the heart of Hollywood or even a nice hike in Beachwood Canyon. Do not miss this cutie pie!!
