About This Home

As of July 2021

Steps from La Brea and Melrose, which is arguably one of the coolest corners in LA, sits this perfectly manicured 4 bedrooms and 3 bath home. The story begins with a prive front garden wrapped in green, which delivers us to a modern open living/kitchen floor plan. An utterly reimagined kitchen with gleaming white counters and cabinets transition effortlessly into a sexy formal dining. The owners suite comes with a glorious en suite and the kids bedroom and additional bedroom round out the collection. Last but not least there is an alfresco dining area at the rear of the property for those long summer nights of Chardonnay and conversation. Parking for up to 6 with an oversized 1,300 sq ft garage makes this an irresistible offering. Located in award winning Third Street elementary school.
