ORIGINAL WHERE IT MATTERS. NEW WHERE IT COUNTS. From the moment you arrive, 1926 Hauser Boulevard stands apart. Classic Los Angeles architecture, a welcoming front porch, black-framed energy-efficient windows, new redwood fencing and custom gates, and all-new landscaping create exceptional curb appeal while preserving the home's original character. Inside, that character becomes even more apparent. This charming 2-bedroom, 1-bath home has been extensively improved while preserving the craftsmanship, materials and architectural details that make a classic Los Angeles home special. Rather than stripping away its history and creating another generic remodel, considerable care was taken to restore what deserved to be saved and modernize what needed to be replaced.Among the home's most distinctive features are its original real hardwood floors, carefully restored and refinished to reveal the natural grain and warmth of genuine hardwood. Original interior doors, oversized closet doors, door casings and period hardware have been saved and restored, along with exceptional original built-in cabinetry. Custom wood shutters, impressive crown molding and beautifully detailed base molding complement the home's original architecture.The kitchen retains its beautiful original glass-front cabinetry, distinctive curved open shelving and period tilework, details rarely found in today's renovations. A black-and-white checkerboard floor complements the kitchen's vintage character. The bathroom continues the restoration story with beautifully preserved original tilework and classic detailing. The original bathtub and sinks have been painstakingly restored and paired with new period-style plumbing fixtures, preserving the look of the era while providing modern function.Behind that vintage character, the home's major systems have been substantially modernized. Permitted improvements include complete electrical rewiring with a new upgraded panel, recessed lighting and hardwired smoke/CO detectors; a new 16-SEER2 central HVAC system with Trane air handler and coil, slim-profile RunTru by Trane condenser and new thermostat; attic insulation throughout the home and garage; and energy-efficient double-pane Low-E 366, argon-filled windows. Copper plumbing was previously installed by a licensed plumbing company. The private backyard is one of the property's true showpieces. New concrete patios and walkways help define multiple distinct outdoor living areas, including dedicated space for dining, relaxing and entertaining. At the center is a beautifully crafted custom redwood pergola, with substantial posts, layered beams, curved architectural braces and exposed joinery creating a true outdoor room and natural gathering place.All-new front and rear landscaping is served by automatic sprinkler and drip irrigation systems. New redwood fencing and gates continue into the backyard, where mature greenery provides an unusual degree of privacy.Adding another dimension is the property's LARD1.5 zoning and future development potential.
