Hollywood has a quieter side. Case in point: this 1924 Spanish, perched on a private hillside in the Hollywood Dell. This designer-done home balances modern updates with old-world details worth keeping. In the living room, a coved ceiling and plaster walls frame beautiful oak floors, Charlotte Perriand sconces, and a fireplace dressed in Batchelder tile. Gorgeous arched windows let the light shift through the room all day. Romantic, yes. Precious, never. The kitchen pairs custom cabinetry, a Shaws farmhouse sink, and high-end Viking and Miele appliances with built-in banquette seating for slow mornings over coffee. A laundry room and full bath sit just beyond. The spacious dining room connects easily to the main living room and backyard. Dinner at yours? Always a good idea. Two large bedrooms include a primary suite with an en-suite bath and walk-in closet. A chic, moody powder room rounds out the main spaces, while downstairs offers a bonus office and storage. Outside, choose your setting: lounge on the front patio with hillside views, or retreat to the private backyard, complete with a built-in pergola and pond. An expansive gated driveway and two-car garage make parking easy, with additional room for storage. The setting feels removed; the address keeps you connected. Head to the Hollywood Reservoir for a hike, catch a show at the Bowl, or make plans around the neighborhood: Beachwood Cafe, Musso and Frank Grill, Mother Wolf, The Oaks Gourmet Market, Lazy Acres, Intelligentsia Coffee, Gwen, Clark Street Diner, and the Hollywood Farmers' Market are all close by. Los Feliz, Studio City, and Silver Lake are within easy reach. Bring your toothbrush...and your dinner guests.
