Welcome to an exquisite two-story 1916 Craftsman masterpiece in a magical pocket of LA filled with rows of bungalows and friendly neighbors. Once you open the gate and walk up the path, you'll immediately be transported into another world. Take in the serenity and detail of a home originally built by a prominent LA doctor for his family. The sounds of trickling water tickle your ears and deliver a sense of calm. Look up and experience the true grandeur of this architectural gem, the beneficiary of a loving and painstaking 20-year restoration courtesy of its current inhabitants, who are only the second owners. The epitome of elegance and comfort, this home exudes character and a cultivated blend of history and modern living. As you step onto the creeping fig-covered front steps, you'll catch glimpses of Japanese maples and barberry, pittosporum, olive bonsais and Clarissa. You'll feel enveloped in textures of emerald greens and deep purples. With its wraparound front porch, a generous covered back porch, and a second-floor balcony, this home is designed for those who appreciate the art of indoor-outdoor living. And we haven't even walked inside. As you're greeted by original hardwood floors, you'll be captivated by the intricate dentil molding and the living room's prominent fireplace. Afternoon light shines through stained glass windows and dapples the landing at the base of the stairs. The formal dining room draws you in with its structural arch, wainscoting and built-in China cabinet, while the breakfast room is a sunlit retreat perfect for morning coffee. The study offers a correspondence desk. A ground-floor bedroom with attached bath, currently serves as a comfortable family room. Upstairs, the large primary suite is a private sanctuary, complete with a balcony that overlooks the lush surroundings. Two additional bedrooms, one with an attached office space, and a guest bath round out the second floor. Head back downstairs and you'll find a den with a 10-foot sliding glass door, offering a quiet space for relaxation with an expansive view of the back garden that blurs the line between interior and exterior. Step outside to the covered patio and pause as you gaze upon mature trees and a park-like atmosphere complete with outdoor living room, fire pit and dining area. A structural pepper tree hugs the home, providing shade and whimsy as you drink and dine into the evening surrounded by perfectly manicured hedges that welcome backyard revelry and respite. Beyond the hedges, you'll be greeted by an active block club and familiar faces at local favorites including Fuegos, Cafecito de La Crepe, South LA Cafe, Jon & Vinny's and newcomer, Somerville. You're minutes from West Adams, Jefferson Park, and Leimert Park. Think Johnny's West Adams, Alta, Chulita, Tartine, Taqueria Los Anaya, Farmhouse Kitchen, All-Chill Ice Cream and the newest addition, Cento Raw Bar. Easy access to the Expo and Crenshaw Lines puts DTLA, Culver City, Santa Monica, Inglewood, and LAX within reach. With world-class museums, USC, BMO Stadium, SoFi Stadium, the Forum and the Intuit Dome practically in your backyard, you'll enjoy LA's best entertainment, sports and culture. This one-of-a-kind home captivates the senses and emotions with its heartfelt preservation and modern design. We invite you to come take a look.
