If you're looking for a beautiful LA oasis in the middle of the city with a private pool/hot tub and total resort vibe, then 'Casa de Cleon' is the place for you.
This 2 bdrm/2 bath California ranch-style home is truly unique and a great LA home away from home. The 2,100 sq ft. home was built in 1937, and has an inviting art nouveau feel to it. My husband and I have completely renovated it to transform it into a sanctuary in the middle of the city and have added lots of modern amenities while still retaining it’s charm and style.
The warm interior offers Brazilian pecan hardwood floors throughout, a spacious formal dining room, an elegant music/parlor/library room complete with a baby grand piano (and lots of books!), a full galley-style kitchen with quartz countertops and stainless steel appliances with an open floor plan that steps down into a cozy sunken living room. The living room has a comfortable sectional that also makes into a queen bed with a brand new memory foam mattress that can also sleep 2. This room is perfect for lounging in and watching movies on the big screen tv with full surround sound!
The front bedroom is drenched in natural light (thanks to a big bay window) and has a brand new queen-size bed with velvet headboard. The front bathroom has a full shower/bath and all the amazing original tile from the era in tact. The tranquil master bedroom offers a California King bed, a spacious walk-in closet and an ensuite with an amazing steam shower, oversized bath tub, enclosed toilet and double sink marble vanity. French sliding doors open from the master and music room onto the large Tiger wood deck with jacuzzi tub. A perfect spot for morning yoga or birdwatching and a cup of coffee. French sliders also open from the living room out onto the giant backyard.
This home sits on a 16,000 square ft double lot so there is plenty of space to stretch out. One of the best features is the large backyard area which has a newly built outdoor kitchen, dining area, outdoor shower/bathroom and lounging area and the enormous Van-Halen approved pool (this house has amazing history!). Living in Southern California, we subscribe to ‘alfresco living’ and enjoy this backyard space a lot!
Please note: We also have a guesthouse on the other side of the main house that is currently rented to a fantastic executive from the midwest who travels a lot and looks after things while we’re away at our summer place in Montana. You will probably rarely see him but the backyard area is a common space and shared between the main house and the guest house. We are really looking to share our property with guests who are easy-going, positive, responsible folks who play well with others and will take care of our property as their own and enjoy it. This really is a ‘home away from home’ kind of place and a nature sanctuary.
