4135 Lafayette Pl Culver City, CA 90232

A truly rare offering in the heart of downtown Culver City, this "two houses on a lot" property sits on an expansive 8,245 square-foot lot along one of the neighborhood's most beautiful, tree-lined streets. Zoned CCR2YY with two separate residences, it offers the flexibility of a duplex style setup while still feeling like a classic neighborhood home. The front house sets the tone the minute you arrive with classic Spanish arches, a red tile roof, and that quiet sense of character that is hard to replicate. Step inside and the story continues with a beautiful living room filled with original detail, warm hardwood floors, an arched statement window, and striking wood beams overhead. A true formal dining room anchors the center of the home, bright and inviting for weeknight dinners or a table set for friends. The renovated kitchen is generous in size and function with stainless steel appliances, ample countertop space, and custom cabinetry plus a built-in eating nook perfect for casual meals. The secondary bedrooms are comfortable and inviting, with convenient access to a hall bath that feels like a nod to the vintage Spanish style. The primary suite is privately set apart, an intimate retreat with great light, smart storage and ensuite bath. The rear residence is loft-like in feel with open beamed ceilings that accent the main living space with room for cooking, eating and relaxing, plus a central flex room that can function as a separate office, den, or guest quarters. A separate bedroom and updated bathroom complete the back home. The large outdoor space connects it all, with room to entertain, unwind, and shape the next chapter. All of this sits a short distance from the energy of Culver City's downtown eateries and shops, and just a block from the highly sought-after Linwood E. Howe Elementary School. Homes like this Spanish classic with soul, space, and a layout that works for real life are a unique find.
