1062 Alvira St Los Angeles, CA 90035

Discover Casa Alvira, an exquisite Spanish Colonial Revival located on a wide palm-lined street in the coveted South Carthay HPOZ, which has recently been honored with inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. As one of the premier examples of period architecture, this meticulously restored home boasts scalloped archways, stained glass windows, and finely detailed woodworking, blending timeless elegance with modern functionality. Through an enclosed front patio with romantic fountain and vines, you will enter the dramatic main foyer. From here, step down into the spacious living room, featuring a grand fireplace, casement windows, and soaring wood-beamed ceilings. Through the French doors, at the center of the home, is a magical courtyard inviting seamless indoor/outdoor entertainment, al fresco dining, and star-gazing. The chef's kitchen is a masterpiece with hand-painted tiles, 6-burner Wolf range, large center island, and charming breakfast nook adjacent to a graceful formal dining room. At the back of the home, a gorgeous atrium connects the sleeping areas. A versatile floor plan allows each of the three bedrooms direct access to a bathroom, each of which are thoughtfully designed to evoke the original era of the home while infusing luxurious high-end updates such as heated floors, waterfall showers, and a deep soaking tub. The huge primary bedroom opens to a covered deck overlooking the secluded back patio, offering a tranquil retreat for morning coffee and relaxation. Additional features include an expansive finished basement perfect for a media room, playroom, or home office (or all of the above!), plus a detached garage and flex space ideal for a home gym or creative studio. In addition to *substantial* Mills Act tax savings linked to this home, the owned solar panels, new Energy Star certified HVAC, and drought-resistant landscaping will keep your energy bills to a minimum. Casa Alvira is a truly rare opportunity to experience a classic lifestyle in the heart of Los Angeles, situated in proximity to all the cultural amenities of the West Side, Beverly Hills, and Culver City, with the new purple line metro whisking you conveniently to downtown LA starting in 2025.
