In the heart of historic Leimert Park, where tree-lined streets and Spanish architecture tell the story of Los Angeles' golden era, this 3-bedroom 3-bathroom home has been reimagined with intention. Set on a 6000 square foot lot, it stands as a rare blend of restoration and reinvention. Original hardwood floors were preserved and thoughtfully refinished, a nod to the home's past that anchors the modern updates throughout. Unlike many remodels, this one leans into craftsmanship, layering warmth, charm, and design details that elevate every room. This is a home that respects its history while embracing today's lifestyle. Natural light pours in through all-new Milgard windows, while updated interior and exterior doors offer a refreshed and cohesive feel. The living space flows effortlessly thanks to widened archways connecting the kitchen and dining areas, creating an inviting and open atmosphere for everyday living and entertaining. The heart of the home, the kitchen, is a true showstopper. Custom-designed wood cabinetry by NU Design features soft-close drawers and doors, finished with burnished antique hardware by Rejuvenation. Arabescato Corchia marble countertops add a luxurious touch, complemented by top-tier appliances including a 36-inch Fisher & Paykel fridge, a 24-inch Bosch dishwasher, and a 30-inch Thor range. The kitchen faucet, finished in antique brass by Kingston Brass, pairs beautifully with a clean white undermount sink. Each bathroom has been thoughtfully redesigned. The primary suite was reconfigured to include a newly designed bathroom featuring Carrara marble countertops and antique brass fixtures. The hallway bath is brand new, and the original guest bath has been converted into a sleek powder room. Fixtures and accessories throughout are sourced from Kingston Brass in matte black and antique brass finishes, giving each space a distinct, elevated feel. Beyond the aesthetic upgrades, this home offers a full suite of modern infrastructure improvements. A new HVAC system, thermostat, and high-efficiency tankless water heater ensure year-round comfort and energy efficiency. Electrical has been updated with a new 200-amp panel and dimmable LED lighting throughout, while plumbing has been upgraded for long-term peace of mind. Wired smoke and carbon monoxide detectors add an extra layer of safety. Step outside to a beautifully landscaped exterior featuring fresh grass in the front yard, decomposed granite pathways in the back and side yards, and vibrant new plants and trees throughout. A new wood fence in the backyard enhances privacy, while a custom railing and awning provide access to the storage basement. The garage has been updated with a new door, and the home's stucco has been patched and refreshed on the rear facade. Window framing was completed as needed, and all work has been architecturally designed, structurally engineered, and fully permitted by the local building department. Security and convenience were not overlooked, with new wooden gates installed at the driveway and side yard, and a motion-activated floodlight camera system for added protection. From its impeccable design to its thoughtful upgrades and ideal layout, this fully renovated residence offers the perfect opportunity to enjoy modern living in a home with enduring quality and charm. Located in a vibrant neighborhood known for its cultural richness, this home offers easy access to West Adams, USC Village, Expo, and Crenshaw metro lines, as well as convenient routes to LAX, DTLA, and Culver City. Enjoy nearby cafes and eateries like The District, Highly Likely, Harold & Belles, and Jon & Vinny's.
