Welcome to one of Cheviot Hills' most distinctive offerings, a spacious, character-rich residence in one of Los Angeles' most desirable neighborhoods. Coming to market for the first time in over 60 years, this is truly a rare opportunity. Spanning over 3,100 square feet, this 4-bedroom plus bonus Japanese tatami room, 4-bathroom home delivers generous scale and flexible living spaces. Originally built in 1930 and thoughtfully expanded over the decades, the floor plan flows effortlessly from room to room, balancing comfort and functionality. Step inside to the living room where hardwood floors, a graceful arched window, and a decorative masonry fireplace set the tone immediately. Past the arched opening and through formal dining room, the kitchen features tile countertops, a large single-compartment sink, dishwasher, gas cooktop, separate oven, and a charming breakfast nook, a functional space ready for a buyer to bring their own personal vision and make it truly their own. The upstairs primary suite is a spacious sanctuary with two walk-in closets, a built-in desk, and a generous en suite bathroom featuring dual sinks, a separate shower, and a soaking tub. Three additional well-proportioned bedrooms provide versatility for a variety of needs. One of the home's most extraordinary features is the authentic tatami room. Finished with traditional Japanese tatami mats, this one-of-a-kind bonus space is an invitation to slow down, equally suited as a tea ceremony room, meditation space, private study, or guest retreat. The juxtaposition of Spanish Revival architecture with this serene Japanese-inspired interior is a rare and refined find that simply cannot be replicated. Step outside and the peaceful Japanese-inspired backyard garden offers quiet beauty and intentional calm. Lush, curated plantings and considered landscaping create a private sanctuary. Additional features include a detached two-car garage, an unfinished basement, central air conditioning and heating, and a tankless water heater for modern efficiency. Ideally situated near the highly-rated Overland Avenue Elementary School, steps from Rancho Park Golf Course, and minutes to Century City, Westwood, and Beverly Hills, with easy access to both the 10 and 405 freeways. Whether you choose to move in and enjoy it exactly as it is, update selectively, or remodel to your own vision, this home offers a canvas of extraordinary possibilities.
