You can find a beautiful Craftsman in Hancock Park. You can find a backyard that feels like a private resort. Finding both, in one home, to lease, almost never happens. This is that home. Step through to the back and it opens into the kind of space families rearrange their whole lives around. A sparkling pool with a Baja step made for lounging, wrapped in designer checkerboard tile that runs the length of the yard. A glass-walled cabana lounge that glows at night and works as a pool house, a hangout, or a quiet escape with a book. Teak loungers lined up in the sun, a shaded lounge with its own seating, bistro lights strung overhead, and lush greenery closing it all in for privacy. It's a resort behind your own gate, and it's the reason people walk this yard once and stop looking anywhere else. The house it belongs to more than earns it. A four-bedroom Craftsman with real soul and room for everyone to spread out, a Batchelder fireplace, original built-ins, hardwood floors, and vintage windows that pour light through every room. The kitchen was rebuilt as the heart of the home, bright and open, flowing straight to both the indoor dining room and the pergola outside, so a dinner party moves from inside to out without missing a beat. The primary suite is a genuine retreat over the backyard, double-vanity en-suite and all, and a second full bath keeps a clawfoot tub that gives the place that timeless character you can't renovate into a newer build. Out front, a real porch for morning coffee and sunset, on one of the prettiest, most neighborly streets in Oxford Square. And you're minutes from everything families move to Hancock Park for: Larchmont Village, the shops and cafes, the farmers market, the schools. It runs smart, too, fully owned solar that keeps the electric bills down, a new roof, a new tankless water heater, so nothing about the home nags at you. Offered for a one-year-plus lease, and the whole family is welcome, pets included. Homes like this, in this neighborhood, with this backyard, do not sit on the rental market. If it's the one you've been holding out for, come see it before someone else signs. Shown by appointment.
