This expansive Windsor Square classic 1918 Colonial Revival, designed by acclaimed architect Frank M. Tyler and commissioned by prominent LA builders, the Althouse Brothers, is rich with character and natural light. The main level boasts grand living spaces filled with original details. The formal living room, anchored by a decorative fireplace, flows seamlessly into a cozy den with custom built-in benches and shelving, accessed through elegant French doors. The spacious formal dining room shines with original mahogany cabinetry, while the thoughtfully updated eat-in kitchen offers stainless steel appliances, a walk-in pantry, and a modern laundry room. Completing the first floor are a maid's bedroom and bath, a powder room, and access to a California basement. A sweeping staircase leads to the second floor, where you'll find four generously sized bedrooms, including the primary, two well-appointed bathrooms, and a charming reading library. On the third floor, a permitted space has been transformed into a versatile retreat featuring a sixth bedroom, a full bath, and a sprawling office or game room with angled ceilings and picturesque windows- perfect for guests, work, or a teenager's suite. The expansive rear patio opens to a vast grassy backyard, ideal for entertaining or future enhancements like a pool. A detached two-car garage has been reimagined as a studio with a permitted recreation room above. The studio is equipped with a kitchenette, wine fridge, dishwasher, and a half bath, which could serve as a future pool house. This home also features original hardwood floors throughout, 4 off street parking spots, leased solar panels for energy efficiency, and separate HVAC systems for each level of the main house and rear structure. Located within the highly coveted 3rd Street School District and just moments from Larchmont Village and Koreatown, this home offers unparalleled value for a home of this character and size in Windsor Square.
