Up the winding pathway from the lushly tree-lined street you enter in to a sun drenched living room with an elegant coved ceiling, leaded glass windows and a wood burning fireplace. The dining room features an enormous mult-paned arched window set in it's own cove and a beautiful Tiffany style ceiling fixture. The updated kitchen includes a cozy, east facing breakfast area with a set of french doors that open out to the herb garden. 3 bedrooms down stairs including 2 that open through french doors directly out to the rear yard and one with it's own, en-suite bath and direct access to the laundry room, perfect as a maids room. Generous and varied options for storage in the hall linen closet and laundry.

Outside a combination of gravel and nicely done artificial turf make for easy maintenance and great place for kids and adults. A natural gas firepit cuts the evening chill and invites conversation while a delightful vine covered pergola with built-in barbeque, sink and mini fridge offers shaded comfort. A detached 2 car garage with high pitched ceiling/roof teases options for any number of alternate uses. Sycamore Square is a wonderful neighborhood so named for the classic sycamore trees that line the streets of this pocket of beautiful Miracle Mile homes south of Wilshire. World class museums, performance venues, restaurants and shopping are all within easy walking distance and a new subway station opening at Wilshire and LaBrea, just blocks away, present an auto-free way to engage with our fair city
