8713 Rangely Ave

On Rangely Avenue in West Hollywood west, this bungalow pairs original craftsmanship with custom details you don't usually see at this size. At 1,640 square feet, the two-bed, two-bath lives larger than its footprint.

The seller-designed touches are meticulous and give the home real personality. Layered lighting and built-in speakers set the tone room to room, with fixtures chosen for mood and hosting. A fully rebuilt wood and gas burning fireplace anchors the living room, and the space flows open and easy.

The kitchen is built around a chef's workflow. It has a restaurant-grade vented hood, custom solid Cherry cabinetry, a new built-in Miele refrigerator, and a black granite countertop with a knife slot built right in.

The backyard is the best part. An integrated plunge pool spa and an outdoor shower turn the yard into a private retreat, and a converted structure now used as a home office and art studio gives you dedicated work space without giving up a bedroom. The outdoor dining is built for hosting, with good natural light, warm ambient lighting at night, and a new gas grill. A mature Wisteria canopy shades the space in summer and blooms deep purple in mid-March. Easy flow from one entertaining space to the next, with the kitchen right there.

Minutes from Cedars-Sinai and the shopping and dining along Melrose, Robertson, and Beverly Blvd., it offers craftsmanship, character, and walkability in one of LA's best pockets.
