Presenting Lunga Vita. Tucked within the historic enclave of Melrose Hill, this Craftsman stands as the crown jewel of the neighborhood. Thoughtfully redesigned by Andrea Landes, the home is embraced by tree-lined streets and enduring architecture that preserves the charm and history of classic Los Angeles. Set on a generous lot, the home blends past and present in a way that feels both grounded and fresh. Inside, every window frame lush greenery, wrapping each room in a constant dialogue with nature. Light fills the spaces, moving gently across wood, tile, and glass, softening the edges of daily life. This is a home that breathes, that feels alive. A welcoming front porch opens to light-filled living and dining spaces accented by original stained glass. The family room overlooks the park-like backyard and flows into a gourmet kitchen with quartz counters, stainless steel appliances, custom tile, open shelving, and a large island. A skylit staircase leads to four bedrooms, one of which has been transformed into a bespoke walk-in closet featuring a studio grade vanity mirror and exquisite calacatta marble finishes. The primary suite features a skylit sitting area, an additional walk-in closet, a spa-inspired bath with a soaking tub and oversized shower, and sweeping city views that capture the most radiant sunset light. The home is complete with a spacious laundry room, finished basement, two-car garage, and a gated motor court with parking for at least five cars. Above the garage, a private ADU with its own deck and 2 baths provides a flexible extension of the property - ideal for guests, a studio, or a home office. The home balances old and new world charm. A rare blend of preserved character and modern elegance. Positioned on a 10,000 sq. ft. lot, it is both a piece of Los Angeles history and a gateway to Melrose Hill - now one of LA's hottest culinary boomtowns, alive with new cafes, restaurants, and galleries. Minutes from Los Feliz, Hancock Park, and the city's best dining, it remains one of Melrose Hill's most treasured homes.
