About This Home

As of December 2020

Beautiful, modern hillside home, remodeled in 2019 (incl. new electrical & HVAC), provides quintessential LA views and a layout that helps this home function as a 4 BR / 3 BA. The interior celebrates bright windows and an open-concept layout with recent updates to almost everything: flooring, paint, fixtures, stone countertops, kitchen cabinets, stainless steel appliances, a $10K water purification system, more! The living /dining /kitchen are the heart of the home. Three BRs on the main level embrace a chic subway-tiled tub over shower combo. A spiral staircase in one bedrooms leads to an enormous area of bonus square footage - currently used a media room and space that could function potentially as an office / BR / gym, storage, etc. Watch the sunrise from the multiple exterior levels / areas of out door entertainment space that includes a deck adjacent the kitchen for outdoor dining and concrete paved patios for social set-ups, perfect for a fire pit! Off street parking, too!
