Description

Introducing The Smithwood Collection at 1226 Smithwood Drive, a beautifully restored four-unit TIC in Beverlywood, just steps from Beverly Hills. Built in 1931, this Spanish Colonial building has been thoughtfully reimagined to preserve its original character while delivering the comforts of modern living - a rare combination in one of LA's most walkable, sought-after neighborhoods. Unit 4 is a two-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath residence offering an ideal entry point into homeownership in this coveted corridor. Dark-stained red oak flooring runs throughout, paired with graceful archways and character windows fitted with their original latches the kind of craftsmanship new construction simply can't replicate. Aged iron door handles and unlacquered brass hardware lend a warm, lived-in elegance to every room, and light pours through the home, filling each space with an airy warmth. In the living room, a faux fireplace anchors the space as a natural focal point. The kitchen carries that same vintage warmth into a thoroughly modern layout: Saltillo tile flooring, Shaker-style inset cabinetry finished to a premium standard, and honed Taj Mahal quartzite countertops that rise up as the range backsplash. An integrated range hood is finished in Venetian plaster, KitchenAid stainless steel appliances outfit the space throughout, and unlacquered brass plumbing fixtures round out the room's understated luxury. The primary bath matches that elevated finish level, with Saltillo stone flooring, Shaker-style inset cabinetry in a premium custom finish reminiscent of a deVOL kitchen, and honed Taj Mahal quartzite vanity countertops. Walls are wrapped in full Roman clay/Venetian plaster, while the shower and tub enclosures are finished in off-white Casablanca Moroccan Zellige tile; unlacquered brass tub spouts and shower fixtures, along with aged iron hardware, complete the look. Down the hall, the powder room offers its own standout moment Venetian plaster walls, a custom-cut Calacatta Viola marble vanity, and dark red-brown handmade Moroccan Zellige tile flooring. Together, the two bathrooms establish a rich, elevated finish palette that carries through the entire home. Unit 4 also offers two private outdoor spaces, each finished in Saltillo-style ceramic tile that nods to the home's Spanish roots. Off the living room, a front patio spans the full width of the room, framed by a charming wooden railing that makes it feel like a natural extension of the interior. A second private patio off the dining room adds further flexibility for morning coffee or evening entertaining. A detached single-car garage at the rear of the property provides dedicated parking plus additional storage an increasingly rare bonus in this part of Los Angeles. Ideally located in Beverlywood, adjacent to Beverly Hills, the home puts residents within easy reach of shops, restaurants, and everyday conveniences in one of the city's most walkable neighborhoods. As part of an intimate, low-density four-unit TIC, this is a tremendous opportunity for co-ownership in one of LA's most desirable corridors.
