Detailed Introduction Of This Home
What do you get when you take a lovely Regency home from Santa Monica and move it to Highland Park? Nestled amongst mature landscaping in a secret enclave of one of LA's hottest neighborhoods, this turn-key classic beauty is calling you home. This exceptional 1937 home harkens back to a time when craftsmanship was de rigueur and martinis were served stirred, not shaken. Situated on a peaceful cul-de-sac street, it offers the perfect balance of solitude and convenience. With 3 spacious bedrooms, 2 tasteful bathrooms plus a family room/den, this 1500 sq ft home provides ample space to rest and relax. On our chilly SoCal evenings, take your pick of 2 fireplaces to snuggle up to while you entertain friends and family or just relax after a long day. Enjoy the spacious living room, curl up with popcorn and a movie in the family room or meander out through the French doors off the dining room to the private back patio, surrounded by nothing but greenery. The 3rd bedroom is staged as an office (that 1" thick paneling and stone fireplace begged for it) and offers an excellent remote work setting. As you explore, you'll discover more of the home's hidden gems. Freshly painted, glowing hardwood floors and new light fixtures throughout, this home is ready for you. The 2-car garage was also refinished and to top it off, there's a ton of storage under the home, perfect for everything from surfboards, kayaks and camping gear to the seasonal decorations that bring your home to life each year. Included in the sale is a vacant 12K sf hillside lot across the back of the home for a total of 18K sf of street-to-street privacy & seclusion. This is not merely a house; it's part of Highland Park's rich tapestry. Originally built in Santa Monica in 1937, this home was moved to HLP in 1962 when the 10 freeway was built (pssst...they only move the good ones).
