Spanish Revival bungalow in the heart of vibrant Leimert Park. Approaching the home you are greeted by two mature magnolia trees flanking a charming pathway. A recessed, arched doorway adds dimension and character to the classic Spanish facade. Inside, an impressive, high-pitched living room is flooded with light and features a unique original fireplace. The adjacent dining room with its playful blue wood floors, feels separate yet connected and flows to the kitchen. The kitchen features hand-poured concrete tiled floors that feel contemporary, yet timeless along with ample cabinets and a stone countertop. Off the kitchen is a laundry area and doors leading outside. There is a full bathroom and two bedrooms downstairs – a cozy bedroom and a larger one that could also work as a family room / den with direct access outside. Upstairs is the generously sized primary bedroom, which features treetop views and an ensuite bathroom with Zia tile, stone countertops and great storage. Outside, a private backyard offers a romantic courtyard feel with its stone pavers, high walls and citrus tree. A two car detached garage is well suited for a flex space – a perfect spot for a rec room, gym, or home office. The home features a seismically retrofitted (bolted) foundation with permits, a soft water filter + a reverse osmosis system, and a tankless water heater.

This is a great opportunity to live in a special pocket of Leimert Park, one of LA’s first planned communities which was designed by the Olmsted Brothers – of New York Central Park fame.

Densely planted trees, park-like medians, and reduced automobile traffic near amenities made for a livable and beautiful community that can be felt today, nearly a century later.
