Property Description

The best of early 1940s charm and modern day conveniences, this newly renovated (with permits!) 1,818 sq ft home offers warm oak floors, gracious room sizes, sun-splashed rooms and a lush backyard accessed through gorgeous wood french doors. ADU plans ready to submit. Multiple skylights bring in even more light. Charming original details abound - such as the formal foyer moldings, the wedding cake plaster restored in 2 of the bedrooms, the architectural curved covered entry, restored house numbers and the hand-carved bay window trim. The kitchen features warm walnut tones and a large bright window bringing in that gorgeous southern-facing California sunshine. Chic brand new Kitchenaid appliances and a natural stone island complete the kitchen. The dining room has a large wood french door that opens up to the spacious (dare I say - pool-sized?) backyard. The dining room also has a wonderful butler's pantry with extra storage and countertop space for that fun buffet-style dinner party that you love to throw. Beyond that, a perfect powder room for guests is set apart from the bedroom space - wowing guests with gorgeous chic wallpaper. In the private north wing, the bedrooms are generously sized with abundant closet space. The gorgeous hall bathroom feels instagram-ready, complete with linen closet. The primary bedroom feels like its own private retreat, down a long hallway that gives way to an extremely spacious bedroom and bathroom. Featuring four closets, your days of fighting for closet space are done. This beautiful bedroom also features wood doors to the backyard, connecting you to the beautiful and lush green grounds. Updates include new roof, new electrical, new plumbing and sewer, car charging outlet (EV ready!), new windows and doors, and central HVAC with NEST thermostat that you can adjust to your pup's comfort while you're on the go. Leimert Park is one of our favorite neighborhoods in Los Angeles: gorgeous and peaceful, full of vibrant history and warm neighbors - you feel the true sense of community here. We love local favorites like Orleans & York (amazing po' boys!), Earle's (try the yummy vegan chili!) and Tak's Coffee Shop. In downtown Leimert Park Village, enjoy Harun Coffee, All Chill Ice Cream, ORA cafe/co-working space and special events like the Leimert Park Jazz Festival. Just around the corner, the Baldwin Hills mall features a Saturday Farmer's Market and our fave place for happy hour with delicious artisanal cocktails - Post & Beam. We adore the annual Garden Tour that alternates between Leimert and View Park, showcasing your neighbors' gorgeous backyard spaces. You are minutes away from the new Whole Foods on Jefferson. Just a hop and a skip away, you have so many fun options in West Adams: enjoy Highly Likely Cafe, Michelin-featured Cento Pasta, charbroiled deliciousness at Miz La La, fabulous meals at Alta, great wine at Adams Wine Shop, delicious Mian noodle, yummy Bee Taqueria, enjoy a firepit-side dinner at Johnny's on Adams, amazing cauliflower queso at Chulita and more. Minutes away, enjoy local favorites such as: Hilltop Coffee (delicious coffee plus snacks and beignets!), Jon & Vinny's/Helen's Wines, Simply Wholesome (housed in a Googie architecture building!), Puerto Nuevo and more. Sprouts is 15 minutes away. You're also just minutes from the heart of Culver City - ready to enjoy Hi-Lo Liquor, Cognoscenti Coffee, The Culver Steps with Erewhon and Salt 'n Straw, and so much more. Just a little further, have fun on the 13 mile Park to Playa bike trail (from the Baldwin Hills Parklands to the Pacific Ocean!) or explore the 400 acre Kenneth Hahn Park, with 360 degree views of LA. You're just blocks from both the Expo and Crenshaw train lines with the latter building a connection directly to the airport. All this in a vibrant neighborhood pocket just 15 min from DTLA, 15 min from Culver City, and 20 from the beach! Designed and staged by The Art of Houses
