712 Copeland Ct, Santa Monica, CA 90405

Discover the uniqueness of a hidden walk-street on the quiet side of Ocean Park: Copeland Court. Venture down its walkway to a gated compound of complementary but contrasting structures: A one-story California craftsman from 1906-11 and a two-story guest house by Lorcan O'Herlihy from 2004.

Built as a two-bedroom, the front of the original main house retains all the characteristics of its Craftsman heritage in the living room, a bedroom (now used as a dining room), and a study. The O'Herlihy renovated rear of the house - the kitchen, family room, and primary bedroomopens to a broad deck, extending the space to the copsed garden sanctuary sheltered by a giant California sycamore and mature Valencia orange tree.

The guest quarters include a parlor, kitchen, and bath on the first floor and a bedroom/study with a balcony on the second. Five-car parking behind the complex on Hill Place. LA Times article can be found in the media link.
