About This Home
As of June 2025One of the earliest homes in Mt. Tabor, this majestic circa 1880 Craftsman sits proudly above the street, revealed through lush landscaping and a gracious wraparound porch. Rich in period charm and thoughtful updates, this home is both timeless and livable. The stained-glass front door opens to a formal entry and grand living room, complete with Tiffany-style lighting, fireplace, and French doors that lead to the west-facing porch—perfect for sunset views. From the living room, another set of French doors opens to a formal dining room, while an adjacent sitting room or office offers additional versatility. At the heart of the main floor is an updated kitchen featuring custom cabinetry, new flooring, granite countertops,farmhouse sink, and an adjoining butler’s pantry. Just down the hall is not only a recently remodeled full bath with classic finishes & heated floor, but a spacious primary suite—complete with south-facing views, period lighting, and a lovely ensuite bath with walk-in shower and heated floors. Upstairs offers even more: a charming sewing room with a north-facing deck and cedar-lined closet, 3 additional bedrooms, a full bath with jetted tub and separate shower, plus a large 5th bedroom with stunning southern views—ideal as a family room, guest suite, or 2nd primary. The nearly 1,400 SF basement with access to the front yard and good ceiling height offers endless potential: guest quarters, office, family room, or workshop. Outside, the 1/3 acre lot offers beautifully defined outdoor spaces. The east-facing backyard features a large slate patio and tranquil water feature, while the south side hosts a vibrant fruit and vegetable garden. The west-facing front yard is a lush retreat with lawn, roses, and mature flowering shrubs & trees. All this just blocks from iconic Mt. Tabor Park and minutes to the shops, cafes, restaurants, and theaters of Hawthorne Blvd. [Home Energy Score = 1. HES Report at
