Property Description

Step into this WHIMSICAL 1928 SPANISH REVIVAL MINI-COMPOUND, tucked within a GATED COURTYARD in one of Toluca Lake's most picturesque enclaves. Located just SOUTH OF RIVERSIDE DRIVE & the Village...this SANCTUARY evokes the romance of EARLY HOLLYWOOD with its arched entryways, decorative niches, lath-and-plaster walls, original wood floors, & hand-forged accents, all THOUGHTFULLY UPDATED through the years to reflect a MODERN SENSIBILITY without compromising its ARCHITECTURAL SOUL. A living room with wood-beam ceiling & wood-burning fireplace, formal dining, breakfast room/office, sunroom, & a classic bootlegger's basement are just the highlights of what the main house offers. AMAZING VERSATILITY FOR CREATIVES with a DETACHED PERMITTED REC ROOM (living/bedroom combo, Murphy bed, kitchenette & bath with ADU conversion potential) plus a SECOND DETACHED ATELIER /office/art-studio plus workshop/dark room. The COMPLETELY PRIVATE backyard is an ENTERTAINER'S OASIS with an ENDLESS POOL/SPA, wood-burning HOT TUB, & wrap-around CEDAR DECK for alfresco dining. UNBEATABLE LOCATION where owning a car is optional.....just steps to fine dining and quaint neighborhood boutiques, grocery stores, banks & establishments, & a quick jaunt to public transit. This is your opportunity to own ONE OF THE LAST REMAINING CHARACTER HOMES in Toluca Lake. With ONLY FOUR OWNERS across nearly a century, a true personification of a MAGICAL SPACE residents never want to leave. Fondly endeared as Hacienda Hankas proudly signed by the HH monogram on the chimney, this COVETED NEIGHBORHOOD TREASURE can finally be yours.
