This stately 2,415 sq. ft. Craftsman Bungalow with a 502 sq. ft. bonus guest house is the Grand Dame of Larchmont. Rich in character and history, 616 was the childhood home of the Arquette family and prior to that, owned by Eileen Hennessey, society editor of the Los Angeles Evening Express. Inside, you'll find four spacious bedrooms, each with its own en suite bath. Three upstairs and one downstairs, ideal for guests, a media room, or home office. The formal living room, centered around a fireplace, opens to the family room and a richly appointed dining room, all framed by restored original windows that flood the home with natural light. Period details like coffered ceilings, hardwood floors, classic built-ins, and wood wainscoting provide warmth and timeless elegance. The upstairs primary suite includes a fireplace, walk-in closet, and attached office with built-ins, perfect for working from home. Another upstairs bedroom features a bonus room, ideal as a nursery, playroom, or private retreat. Outside, the lush backyard offers privacy, mature trees, and room to entertain or unwind. The detached guest house includes a full kitchen, living area, bedroom, and bathroom, ideal for extended stays, creative work, or flexible living. Thoughtful upgrades over the last three years include a new roof, dual-zone heat pump HVAC, new hardwood floors downstairs, new sewer connection, foundation improvements, and a 200-amp electrical panel, bringing peace of mind and everyday comfort. All of this just moments from beloved Larchmont Village favorites like Osteria Mamma, Great White, Cafe Gratitude, Go Get Em Tiger, Chevalier's Books, and the Sunday farmers market. 616 N. Gower is a rare opportunity to own a piece of LA history in one of the city's most cherished neighborhoods.
