This Studio City-meets-Hollywood Hills compound is a "twofer" like no other: A glamorous - both in style and scope - additional dwelling unit (ADU) was completed in 2022 and offers solutions to almost any property bro's challenges: Long-term guest quarters, live/workspace, "separate-but-together" cohabitation, and the potential for rental income. The ADU's large, open floor plan combines living, dining, and a kitchen with Samsung Bespoke appliances. It's elegant, modern bathroom features a stone countertop and a step-in shower with frameless glass doors. The cherry on top of the 461 sq.ft. ADU is the lot's recently renovated swimming pool and pool deck, showcasing north-east facing views of Universal Studios (including Hogwarts' nightly fireworks show) and sparkling city lights. The Hollywood Sign even makes an appearance or two from around the property. Also by the pool are an elevated party-sized spa, built-in fire pit, and an outdoor living room adjacent to a mature tree covered in white lights. Just outside the ADU's collapsible sliding wall of glass is a large, flat lawn (rare in the Hills to have both ample yard and a pool) which anchors the relationship between the two homes on the 10,011 lot. The thoughtfully modernized second structure, a 4BR/2.5BA 2,810 sq.ft. residence originally built in 1941, artfully marries contemporary refinements with the timeless allure of early Hollywood. The house's guest rooms share a guest bathroom with a tub/shower combo, and the home's primary bedroom is en suite with double sinks and a step-in shower inside its private bathroom. All four bedroom options are upstairs. On the house's ground level are a series of rooms built for gatherings -or- quiet nights in the celebrity neighborhood enclave in which the house sits. A large, bright living room has glass on three sides: A bay window looking out to the city, two double-hung windows flanking the room's fireplace, and a slider which expands the room's size two-fold by providing access to a covered outdoor entertaining area. This covered patio is also accessible through the residence's gourmet kitchen and dining area. Its generous kitchen bar provides fun in the completely renovated cook's kitchen which sports a suite of high-end appliances including a 4-burner Thermador range, Viking refrigerator, and stainless-steel dishwasher and wine refrigerator. Original leaded glass cabinet doors from the '40s mix an early Hollywood vibe with today's modern conveniences. A laundry room and a powder room add functionality to the home's traditional floor plan. Other highlights: 2-car garage, terraced front yard, front porch big enough for "rocking," mature landscaping, and a corner lot. How did this sexy ADU and this stately 1940's classic home find each other? Like any good rom-com, there may have been twists and turns along the way, but now they are the perfect pair, side-by-side, on a hill in Hollywood. The End!
