Property Description

Set behind mature hedges and gates on a gentle knoll in Hancock Park, this Monterey Colonial was thoughtfully renovated by June Street Architecture, preserving its original character while introducing a relaxed, contemporary sensibility. A gracious, generously scaled living room features original crown molding, a fireplace, and bay windows that welcome beautiful dappled afternoon light. The dining area opens to the kitchen, where a large center island offers casual seating and gathering space. A flexible breezeway connects the kitchen to a comfortable den, with French doors opening to the pool beyond. A powder room and laundry area complete the main level. Upstairs, an elegant wrought-iron staircase leads to a skylit landing and three bedrooms. The primary suite features separate closets, an ensuite bath with dual vanities, and access to a charming covered porch nestled among the olive trees. Two additional bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bathroom. Outside, a private backyard is framed by tall hedges, with a pool and spa surrounded by generous spaces for dining, lounging, and entertaining. A separate ADU offers additional flexibility, featuring vaulted ceilings, striking wraparound corner windows, a kitchenette, and a bathroom with shower. Thoughtfully designed for indoor-outdoor living, the property offers a wonderful sense of privacy in the heart of Hancock Park.
