Description
Welcome to La Casa Verde, a stunning 1926 turnkey Spanish home, restored with the utmost attention to detail, exquisite inside and out, magazine-featured, on a tree-lined cul-de-sac, and central to all that Culver City has to offer! Just blocks from Erewhon, Trader Joe's, idyllic Carlson Park, Culver City's Award Winning School District, HBO, Sony and Apple Offices, and the many shops and restaurants in Downtown Culver City, this exceptional home has it all. On an R2 lot, you have a traditional single family home in front, and in the back a separate two-story home with it's own address and private entrance offering true flexibility. The exquisite landscaping, beautiful tile work, and tranquil fountain that guide your approach to the home, set an elegant stage for the captivating scene that lies within and throughout the property. It has been lovingly restored by its current owners, respecting it's Spanish architecture and many of its original period features such as arched doorways, coved ceilings, large bay window, original built-ins, alcoves and sconces. The updates enhance the home including new Spanish and Moroccan tiles throughout, newer electrical, plumbing, HVAC, paid-off solar, and classic French double-paned windows and doors from the primary bedroom, family room and ADU leading to a backyard oasis that will take your breath away. The focal point of the yard (seen from both the front yard and inside the home) is an art deco angel sculpture by acclaimed turn of the century artist Salvatore Cartaino Scarpitta, an Italian-American noted for his large-scale bas reliefs such as those on the Los Angeles Stock Exchange Building and USC Medical Center. The serene oasis outside is adorned with vibrant landscaping, tranquil fountains, up lighting, bright bougainvillea, a koi pond and a stunning conversation nook featuring a fire-pit and shaded by a fuerte avocado tree. This home is truly an entertainer's paradise. A very rare opportunity to own one of the original Spanish homes in Culver City's most sought-after neighborhood. While public records list this home as a three-bedroom property, one room in the home that had originally been a bedroom is presently configured as a family room so the main home is currently 2-bedroom plus a family room. An ADU has an additional bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and living room. The ADU (with it's own address) is 940 sq ft while the home is 1712 sq ft. Seller-occupied, please respect their privacy and refrain from disturbing outside of open house times. This is a home where beauty effortlessly intersects with functionality. The minute you walk up the pathway to the home and hear the fountain bubbling life slows down and you can unwind from the day. A unique opportunity to own a very special property.
