About This Home
As of May 2025Thoughtfully constructed in 1920 on a corner lot, this endearing Spanish family home sits comfortably on the rim of desirable Leimert Park. The byproduct of a judicious, multi-year series of upgrades by the current owners makes this 3/bedroom 2/bath home a rarity at this competitive price point. A brick walkway and Spanish tiled exterior stairs welcome one inside. Large front windows send natural light beaming throughout the home. A wide living room with bamboo floors leads into a surprisingly broad kitchen, upgraded with newer appliances, matte glazed moss backsplash tiles and ample storage, as well as an adjoining breakfast area with outdoor access. A long hallway separates two large, bright bedrooms, each with floor to ceiling closets and storage, and ends with a large full bath. Across the living room is a newly constructed 2nd bathroom. Built by the current owners in 2023, the space features a colorful custom tiled shower and skylight. Down a small staircase is a convenient pantry space that leads to a 3rd bedroom, conveniently separated from the entertaining spaces that has its own mini-split AC system, stackable laundry and closet space and additional backyard access via a new sliding glass door. A lush exterior features a redwood deck and custom hand-painted mural and the entire home is surrounded by an array of landscaping comprised of many fruit trees such as lime, orange, clementine, two types of guava, plums, pomegranate, banana and apple trees. In addition, native pollinator friendly plants such as rosemary and jasmine that blooms in the spring, filling the yard and home with its natural, fragrant scent. A garden bed sits in the front of the home as a space to grow vegetables. One of the most attractive aspects to this home is that many of the critical systems have been upgraded for modern living and safety. The property has central HVAC with Nest thermostat, solar panels, upgraded electrical panel, interior copper water lines, partial ABS sewer line replacement, earthquake foundation retrofitting, EV charger and more. Centrally located for commuting to many other locations such as LAX, Culver City, the Westside, Miracle Mile, DTLA and more. Just minutes from nearby favorites, Mizlala, Highly Likely, Hilltop Coffee, Jon & Vinny's, Somerville, Pasta Sisters and more. A rare combination of intentional cosmetic and tedious systems upgrades at an incredibly reasonable price point.
