About the Listing X70367 - C110657
Tucked behind a gated entrance and framed by privacy hedges, 138 S. La Jolla Avenue reveals a world of its own. Thoughtfully reimagined from the inside out, this private Spanish retreat blends timeless architecture, curated design, and exceptional craftsmanship in a setting defined by beauty, tranquility, and seclusion. A newly created courtyard serves as the heart of the property, anchored by handcrafted tilework, a tranquil fountain, layered landscaping, and soft architectural lighting that transforms the space from day to night. The atmosphere feels more reminiscent of a boutique hotel or private hacienda than a home in the heart of Los Angeles.Inside, a palette of natural materials, warm textures, and thoughtful architectural details creates a home that feels both refined and welcoming. Restored hardwood floors, smooth plaster walls, designer lighting, and carefully selected finishes bring depth and character throughout. Original architectural details have been preserved while every surface and system has been thoughtfully elevated. New wood windows and French doors blur the line between indoors and out. Rarely does a Spanish home of this era offer the combination of authentic character and modern livability found here, including three bedrooms and three beautifully appointed bathrooms. The primary suite serves as a peaceful retreat with French doors opening directly to the grounds, while the bathrooms feature handcrafted Zia Tile, Portola Roman Clay, and carefully curated finishes that feel timeless and distinctly Californian. At the center of the home, the kitchen is both beautiful and functional, featuring custom cabinetry with pantry pull outs, premium stainless steel appliances, custom stone countertops, floating shelving, and a handcrafted plaster range hood. Arched French doors open directly to the courtyard, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living and an enchanting backdrop for everything from morning coffee to intimate dinners under the stars. Beyond the interiors, the grounds have been transformed into a series of private outdoor rooms. Enclosed by fencing, gates, and layers of lush landscaping, the property feels like a true private sanctuary. A generous redwood deck, custom pergola, curated landscaping, fruit trees, and ambient lighting create an atmosphere that feels intimate, inviting, and effortlessly suited for both entertaining and everyday living. The detached garage has been thoughtfully finished with drywall, recessed lighting, and custom painted floors, creating approximately 308 square feet of flexible bonus space ideal for a studio, office, gym, creative workspace, recreation room, or future possibilities.Nearly every major component of the home has been replaced or upgraded, including a new copper main water line, all new plumbing, completely new sewer lines, a new electrical system with a 200 amp panel, a new roof, new wood windows, new driveway, new irrigation and drainage systems, new lighting throughout, new ducting, and countless additional improvements, offering the comfort and peace of mind typically associated with new construction.Perfectly positioned in Beverly Grove, moments from some of Los Angeles' most beloved restaurants, cafes, boutiques, and daily conveniences, this rare offering brings together architecture, design, privacy, and craftsmanship with remarkable ease. More than a renovation, 138 S. La Jolla Avenue is a complete reimagining of a classic California Spanish home.
