Neighborhoods south of Hollywood in the heart of Los Angeles continue to evolve as new residents flock to the area, charmed by the Craftsman bungalows that line many streets. One such property on South Hobart Boulevard was recently listed for sale, offering up a modern take on the quintessential style. Originally built in 1912, the renovated home also celebrates the California sunshine with a radiant backyard and art studio.
True to the Craftsman style, this restored 1912 bungalow offers a quintessential front porch. Wood shingles clad the facade while clinker bricks envelope tapered columns and pedestals.

The entire home was renovated by its current homeowners in 2008. Although now painted, many original features remain, such as the brick fireplace, built-ins, and custom woodwork.

With three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and 1,720 square feet of living space, the home offers a traditional bungalow floor plan that unfolds from front to back. A broad living area and reading nook stretch across the front of the home while a hallway divides public and private spaces in the back half. The interior gleams from natural light thanks to the many windows overlooking a landscape of lush bougainvillea and plumeria trees. Following the renovation in 2008, the home was featured in the coffee-table book Dreaming Small: Intimate Interiors, published by Rizzoli, as well as in the French edition of Vogue.
The living area basks in natural light thanks to a large picture window along one wall. The neutral, all-white color palette was recently refreshed in preparation for the sale.
