4442 Farmdale Avenue

Set in one of Studio City's most sought-after pockets, this 1930s Spanish pairs its original charm with a series of thoughtful updates. White stucco, a clay tile roof, and a deep arched covered entry anchor the exterior, framed by mature olive trees and sycamores. Inside, hardwood floors run through a bright, open… great room anchored by a tiled fireplace. Arched doorways frame the flow between rooms, carrying the home's original detail throughout. The kitchen is where the updates really show. Carrara marble runs across the counters and up the wall as a full backsplash, set against blue-grey cabinetry. A full stainless steel appliance suite, glass-front upper cabinets and a brass pendant light fixture give it a tasteful, collected feel. In the primary suite a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams gives it character, and French doors open to a private patio, an ideal spot for morning coffee before the day gets going. A walk-in closet keeps everything in its place just off the room. The recently redone primary bath has a spa-like calm to it. Stone basins, brass fixtures and a charming double vanity keep it warm. The bathing area is a showstopper with a soaking tub set inside the steel framed glass shower. Down the hall, there are two additional guest bedrooms. Each has charming features like casement windows, built-ins and coved ceilings. Whether you need room for family, guests, or an office, the layout gives you options. Both share the newly renovated guest bath, which features a warm mix of dark wood, marble, and black fixtures. Many of the home's rooms open directly to the private backyard, which is divided into several areas for easy indoor-outdoor living. A flagstone patio is set up for dining, grassy areas sit shaded beneath a mature fruit tree, and a rose-covered pergola with a built-in heater makes an easy spot for nights outside. Beyond the pergola the two-car garage has a finished bonus area within it. Open and bright with a slider to the yard, the space adapts easily to a home office, studio, gym, or lounge. The location puts you within easy reach of everything that makes this pocket of Studio City special. Tujunga Village and its restaurants, cafes, and shops are just moments away, with close proximity to top-rated schools and quick access across the hill to the Westside. Read More
