12233 Laurel Terrace $1,795,000

Storybook charm in Studio City’s Silver Triangle. This 1935 California Bungalow sits in the coveted Carpenter school district, an easy walk to Ventura Boulevard’s restaurants, shops and the Sunday farmers market, with hiking trails minutes away. Move right in and enjoy it, or fix, add and flip for serious upside. The home has 3 bedrooms, 1.5 baths and a den in approx. 1,680 sq ft, on a 6,537 sq ft lot. Original character is everywhere: vaulted beamed ceilings, skylights, hardwood floors and two fireplaces, including a gas fireplace in the living room. Terracotta tile warms the formal dining room. The updated kitchen has quartz counters, a farmhouse sink and a sunny breakfast nook that looks out over the pool. The updated bath has a soaking tub. Out back is a private resort-style retreat with a sparkling pool, vine-draped pergola, patio dining and mature landscaping. For fruit lovers, the yard has two Meyer lemon trees plus orange, loquat and white nectarine trees. A long driveway leads to a set-back 2-car detached garage with ADU potential (buyer to verify). Charm, location and upside like this don’t come along often.
