When Westwood was a village . . .. . . many charming and marvelously-scaled courtyard apartments dotted the gentle hills and curving streets of the vibrant academic community. One of these still stands today: The Villa Campana, a 1930's Monterey Colonial complex of two-story villas organized around a wooded surprise of a garden. From the massive, oaken gates, flagstone pavers meander through the shaded garden to Home #8 and its cozy entry terrace. The front door with its stained glass welcomes you to the generously scaled living room with its lovely bay window and fireplace with new mantelpiece. The dining room leads from here to the kitchen - its cabinetry, linoleum floor, tilework and appliances restored to their vintage authenticity.Upstairs are two large bedrooms: Primary and secondary which doubles as a study/media room. This second level peeks out across to tree-top views to hills beyond. The adjacent bathroom explodes with the color of original tile work, plumbing appliances, and an early 20th century style shower door.Custom woodworking interwoven with the thoughtful color palette. Sunny and private pool. Hardwood floors, vintage lighting and fixtures abound. New window treatments. Powder room, in-unit laundry, carport. Updated plumbing and electrical systems. Unique architecture in a true urban oasis.
