Tucked into the highly desirable neighborhood of North Kensington, Casa de Bleu is a 1927 Spanish Revival home that blends historic charm with thoughtful modern upgrades. Behind its private courtyard gate on a corner lot, timeless architecture and handcrafted details create a warm, inviting atmosphere for those who appreciate true character and craftsmanship. The highlight of the home is its one-of-a-kind turreted entry, crowned with a Moroccan lantern and opening to a dramatic formal living room, complete with a cozy whitewashed brick fireplace and large picture windows that flood the space with natural light. The original hardwood floors, rich with history, run throughout the home, adding warmth and charm at every turn. The kitchen has been tastefully remodeled to complement the home's vintage appeal, featuring marble countertops, open shelving, a professional stainless range, and a sunny breakfast nook, with French doors opening to the courtyard for easy indoor-outdoor dining and entertaining. The primary suite offers its own retreat, with French doors to a private Juliet balcony overlooking the courtyard and an ensuite bath in marble and classic black-diamond tile. The backyard of this home is a true retreat, thoughtfully designed for relaxation and entertaining. At its heart is a stunning custom-built outdoor fireplace that serves as a striking centerpiece, adding warmth and ambiance to cool evenings under the stars. A covered, Saltillo-tiled loggia shaded by signature striped awnings provides the perfect space for al fresco dining or lounging with friends
