About This Home
On a picturesque street, lined with towering palm trees, in historic Leimert Park, an assuming California Bungalow has undergone a complete metamorphosis--emerging as QUIMERA, an enigmatic Spanish Bungalow that blends captivating character with modern comforts and eclectic design. The result is a hybrid of styles and a fusion of forms worthy of its name. Brilliantly reimagined, this home offers 3 bedrooms + 1.75 baths, along with a finished 260 sq ft detached Bonus Studio, ready to easily adapt to a myriad of needs--as a creative studio, home office, or versatile rec space. Beyond the interiors, a generous backyard, framed by shady trees and lush greenery, invites you to rest & recharge in your own private retreat. Located in a quaint residential pocket of prime Leimert Park, QUIMERA is equidistant to Exposition Park\USC and Kenneth Hahn State Recreation Area, while a hop, skip, and a jump to burgeoning Leimert Park Village Plaza. It is less than a 10 minute drive to beloved Hilltop Coffee + Kitchen and Issa Rae's acclaimed new Somerville, Not to mention, all of the most delicious restaurants and hottest bars on West Adams are also mere moments away. Property includes RTI-approved plans for an ADU conversion. Make this home yours!
