2239 W 24th St Los Angeles, CA 90018

Spectacular Georgian Colonial Revival home meticulously renovated and maintained! This unique and immaculate property is located on one of West Adams' most desirable streets. Stunning, historic appearance supported by a modern seismically retrofitted foundation; new electric and plumbing, newer roof, and dual-zone HVAC. Over 4,200-square-feet of fully-permitted living space on three levels, plus detached gym, garage, and basement. The gorgeous paneled entry has a grand staircase and is flanked by two formal living rooms, one on each side of the residence. The main living room opens to a spacious formal dining room, with further access through French doors to a rear family/sunroom and entertainment-sized wet bar/serving area. The welcoming and bright kitchen features stainless steel appliances, dual ovens, counter seating, a "coffee bar," granite and marble countertops and extensive cabinetry. Family room and kitchen both open to expansive rear deck. These contiguous spaces -- the kitchen, dining room, wet bar, family room and deck areas -- can comfortably host dozens of guests. Grand staircase leads to the upstairs landing, the primary suite with its elegant period style main bathroom with marble tiles and claw foot tub, three additional comfortable bedrooms, and light-filled sun room overlooking the lush rear yard. The spacious finished third floor (permitted as a 5th bedroom) can flexibly be used as an entertainment center, guest room, or creative workspace; its terrace has views to Hollywood Hills and Downtown Los Angeles. Smart systems installed throughout house: Ring cameras, 2GiG alarm system, August smart lock, Nest thermostats, Rachio automatic irrigation system. Interior and exterior recently repainted in Sherwin-Williams' highest quality paints. A 14 X 20 accessory outbuilding was fully finished and is currently used as a gym (including pairs of French doors, mirrors and moldings, TV). Verdant landscaping with roses, flowering trees and shrubs in every season, and privacy hedges. This home with its traditional look is routinely sought by major film and TV studios for filming. This tight-knit historic neighborhood has many community gatherings, residential parking permits, and HPOZ historic preservation protections. Local filming helps pay for community improvements (example: solar-powered, remote-controlled alley gate) at no cost to owner. Close to everything: Two minutes from the freeway enabling quick commutes to any part of Los Angeles; also near to the Crenshaw and Expo light rail lines. But there's no need to go very far to find multiple coffee cafes (Alibi, Boulon d'Amour, Fence, Cafe/5, Tartine West Adams) and hot new restaurants including Truffle Brothers' Spacio Salumeria, Mian, n/soto, Alta, Mizlala, Johnny's West Adams -- and both The Rooster Bakery and Cafe and Farm Fresh Thai are opening soon.
