A stunningly designed English Tudor Revival from renowned celebrity designer Christos Prevezanos of Studio Preveza (AD, Vogue, Dwell, Forbes, and more), complete with a fully built guest house. Located on tree-lined Sierra Bonita in Wilshire Vista, this home has been meticulously updated throughout.

Arrive to a steep gabled roofline and prominent turret, anchored by an original stained glass window featuring the address, a nod to another era. Native landscaping by Studio Bakersfield frames the approach, with no-mow grasses, ocean spray, woolypod milkweed, native thistles, and yarrow surrounding a secret garden, waterlilies, and a vegetated swale.

A rare double driveway offers side by side parking and leads past blooming vines into a private front courtyard enclosed by iron gates. Beneath the original brick surround and archway sits the historic wood front door, complete with speakeasy window, setting the tone for the craftsmanship found within.

Inside, the living room showcases restored crown moulding around the barreled ceiling, custom built-ins, and newly refinished hardwood floors, and historic crown glass windows. The iconic picture window frames lush greenery and the dramatic Chinese elm that anchors the front yard. The formal dining room follows, with soaring arched ceilings, custom lighting, and courtyard views. A recurring arch motif carries you gracefully from space to space. New windows with custom window treatments bring modern comfort while honoring the home's period character.

A cozy breakfast nook with original wood built-ins offers the perfect morning retreat. The chef-driven kitchen features Fisher and Paykel, Wolf, and Bosch appliances, hand-built cabinetry and hardware, Caesarstone countertops, and sealed ceramic Roca checkerboard tile. A passthrough connects seamlessly to the dining room.

The adjacent laundry room was redesigned for ease and efficiency, with an LG stacked washer and dryer concealed behind custom cabinetry. Fixtures from MQuan Studios and others continue the design-forward feel throughout.

The primary suite includes a fully custom closet and French doors leading to a recently rebuilt, expansive deck. The primary bath offers herringbone tile, a freestanding soaking tub, and a walk-in shower. The guest bath features penny tile, a freestanding sink, and another walk-in shower.

The backyard is a private garden escape. Lemon and lime trees accompany another majestic Chinese elm, creating an enveloping canopy of green. Dine al fresco beneath a vine-covered pergola, surrounded by jasmine and trumpet vines in bloom.

The garage has been extensively converted into a guest Casita, complete with custom cabinetry, built-in lighting, exposed beams, sink, refrigerator, dishwasher, and a full bath. Perfect for guests or as a private office, studio, or gym. Additional exterior storage includes a freshly refinished storage room.

Extensive French drain system and full foundation waterproofing, plus full home security system create peace of mind.  Exterior lighting transforms the home into a storybook scene at night, highlighting the architecture and gardens.

.2 miles to the legendary icon Sonoratown, and under .5 miles to local favorites on Pico like MadLab Coffee, Little Miss Cafe, Bloom, My2Cents, Stevie’s Creole, Rosemary and Thyme, and more.

Located near Museum Row with easy access to LACMA, the Petersen Museum, the Academy Museum, The La Brea Tarpits, and the Craft Contemporary. 

Less than 2 miles to The Grove with world class shopping, and LA’s Original Farmer’s Market. 1.5 miles to the 10 Freeway for easy access from downtown to the ocean. 

This is timeless Tudor architecture reimagined through a modern, design-focused lens in one of the most sought-after pockets of Wilshire Vista.
