Tucked behind privacy hedges and a gated entry, this beautifully remodeled Spanish residence offers a rare combination of privacy, space, and versatility in the heart of the Melrose area. The left-hand residence of an intimate two-unit duplex, this 2-bedroom, 2.5-bath home lives more like a private house, with generous indoor-outdoor space and an oversized private 2-car garage which exclusively belongs to this unit. Inside, a bright, wide-open floor plan creates an effortless flow between the living and dining areas and the thoughtfully updated kitchen, featuring custom cabinetry and stainless steel appliances. A stylish powder room is conveniently positioned off the main living space, while two well-proportioned bedrooms each feature their own en-suite bath with custom tilework, brass finishes, and rain showerheads. The layout offers exceptional flexibility for roommates, guests, couples working from home, or anyone seeking a dedicated office without sacrificing privacy. Additional conveniences include central heating and cooling and an in-unit stackable washer and dryer. The primary suite opens directly to a large private rear patio, creating an extension of the living space for outdoor dining, entertaining, lounging, or working from home. An oversized private two-car garage provides another level of versatility, with ample room for parking, storage, bikes, fitness equipment, or creative use, while additional parking for up to four vehicles is readily available. Set just south of Melrose in the West Hollywood vicinity, the home is exceptionally positioned for some of the best of LA living. Melrose Avenue's boutiques, cafes, restaurants, fitness studios, and nightlife are moments away, as well as the Fairfax District, The Grove, Farmers Market, Erewhon, Whole Foods, and Runyon Canyon. Centrally located between West Hollywood, Beverly Grove, Hollywood, and the Sunset Strip, this is a rare opportunity to live in a private, gated residence with the functionality of a single-family home in one of LA's most dynamic neighborhoods.
