The eye-catching curb appeal of this gorgeous 2 bed, 2 bath craftsman home begins at the Americana of its white picket fence and carries through to the perfectly manicured landscaping of its grassy back yard. Inside, this home has been painstakingly updated with outstanding finishes while carefully preserving its original character and historic value. Wood floors, designer paint colors, plantation shutters, and period fixtures collaborate in creating a warm, inviting, and comfortable atmosphere. The living room features a coved ceiling, ceiling fan, and large windows that welcome in natural light. A full wall of windows highlights the formal dining room while a beautiful fireplace adds to its elegance. The pristine kitchen offers slate floors, granite counters, farm-style cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and benefits from an added butler’s pantry. The bedrooms have been enhanced with distressed wood floors to add a touch of drama. One bedroom has walls of wainscoting while the other has a true-to-the period beadboard ceiling and trim. Also a tribute to its time is the bath which features a butcher shop tile floor, subway tile walls, and large shower. Upstairs, a fantastic loft may make a wonderful third bedroom. A laundry/mud room leads out to the home’s idyllic yard, including a large deck and grassy play area. This home has a fascinating history: it was originally built in West Hollywood in 1910 and later moved to its present location when the 101 freeway was built.
