Located on one of the most sought-after streets in "Old Cheviot" this lovely, truly traditional style home exudes its unspoiled, authentic character and charm. With various significant and tasteful updates, this home screams pride of ownership, suiting the buyer who intentionally chooses not to own the trendy "newly-constructed white Cape Cod." Perched above the street, this home provides privacy and curb appeal. 5 bedrooms, with 4 upstairs! 5 baths. Spiral staircase with mahogany handrail. Formal living room and dining room. Newer engineered hardwood floors throughout. Kitchen and breakfast area remodeled in 2019 with Silostone countertops, new sinks, new Thermador appliances, undercabinet lighting, and center island with prep sink and seating. A peninsula countertop is all that’s between the kitchen and the charming family room (with custom cabinetry and mounted big screen monitor), which overlooks and opens to the outdoors. The upstairs master suite with lovely city views and a brick balcony deserves special attention including an adjacent sitting room and floor to ceiling custom cabinets, big enough to double as a nursery, exercise space or office. His and hers walk-in closets. Pristine master bath remodeled in 2020/2021, with Perrin & Rowe shower and fixtures, Kallista sinks, marble counter tops and tile, heated tile floors, free standing Kallista bath tub, bay window, marble wainscoting, and plantation shutters. The private back yard is lovely with a brick patio, mature hedges, and large magnolia tree. Close to Hillcrest Country Club, Rancho Park Golf Course, studios, and Century City. A rare find!
