6146 Strickland AV Los Angeles CA 90042 MLS #26689239

Set on a hillside above the street, this Spanish bungalow has the kind of bones that stop people mid-scroll. Original details, real proportions, a layout that flows like someone thought carefully about how a person actually moves through a home. In the kitchen, copper countertops and copper sink, patina the way only the real thing does warm, lived-in, and better with age. The fireplace is dressed in original Batchelder-esque Arroyo tiles: relief-molded, richly glazed, the handcrafted earthen work that defines the best Arroyo interiors. Two bedrooms, one bath, and every inch earns its place. The rooms connect easily, light moves through the day, and there’s a pull toward the back of the house that’s hard to explain until you step outside and get it immediately. The deck is where the day starts and ends-morning coffee, dinner in breezy air, drinks with friends after the heat breaks. Beyond it, the backyard unfolds in terraced garden spaces threaded by winding paths, with tucked-away corners that reward a wander. A plunge pool sits tucked into the landscape like it was always there. A treehouse that earns genuine affection. Nestled into the greenery, a detached studio that’s quiet enough to actually use.A one care garage at street level, that holds more than appears. A Spanish with real soul and a backyard that belongs to a much larger life than the square footage suggests.
