It is also a short driving distance to many popular cultural districts including The Grove, Farmer's Market, West Third Street, The La Brea Shopping district and Beverly Hills. As you arrive at this grand duplex home, your eye will be drawn to the colorfully-variated and new planted landscaping that draws your eye into the duplex itself with a newly repainted exterior facade. When proceeding down the walkway to the front entrance, you will step up to an elevated front landing that can be used for outdoor gatherings. Upon entering the home, you will be struck by the original plaster-clad Living room with a vintage tile fireplace which the owners recently converted to allow for gas OR wood-burning, whichever your preference. The original 6 sconces with an antique bronze patina line the walls. Additionally, there are professionally installed interior cable lines for easily connecting to cable service without needing to run exposed lines inside the room. Capping off the room are the exposed newly re-stained carved wood beams as a truly dramatic accent to the room along with the extra large picture window facing the street. Adjacent to the living room is a formal Dining room with a very decorative ceiling moldings and a contemporary LED dimmable chandelier. The Dining room features attractive views of the neighborhood and the front landing from the beautiful french windows. The dining room itself is large enough to accommodate seating for a party of at least 8. Off one part of the Dining room is the Fully Upgraded Kitchen with all new custom cabinets that make full use of the kitchen space while providing plenty of separation among the various appliances. All appliances are of top-brand manufacturers and are organized to allow for maximum counter space. There are also newly installed natural stone polished Quartzite counters that are among the hardest of all stones and cover a newly installed Kohler double bowl under-mount kitchen sink. Newly installed slate tile flooring runs between the kitchen and the adjacent laundry/pantry room. Off the other part of the Dining room is a beautifully rounded and sunny Breakfast nook that features built-in cabinetry (perfect for barware) and arched french windows. This room can also double as an office. To the east of the kitchen is the Laundry/Pantry room with an energy-efficient modular Maytag washer and dryer system and not one, but two large pantry cabinets. One of the pantry cabinets is newly installed and the other is recessed behind a closet door. At the rear of the house are the 3 bedrooms and 3 fully remodeled bathrooms. Each bedroom has an En-suite bathroom and two of the three bedrooms could easily be considered master suites. The two master suites can easily accommodate king-sized beds and the third bedroom can accommodate up to a queen sized bed. The bathrooms are partially remodeled in order to accent the beautiful original tile and cast iron tubs. Each bathroom comes with newly installed frameless shower doors (2 of the three bathrooms with stall showers), new lighting, new Kohler brand pedestal sinks and toilets and bath fans. In the center hallway, there are a total of three closets, with two for storage and 1 for linens and towels. The home comes with fully refinished original hardwood floors throughout all rooms with the exception of the kitchen and bathrooms. The home also features central A/C and is wired with an Internet-connected Nest thermostat for optimal climate control as well as combo smoke and CO2 detectors in all bedrooms and the hallway. Additionally, a Ring brand doorbell is installed adjacent to the front door for additional security and to communicate with guests and package delivery services. There is access to the rear professionally landscaped and hardscaped patio and yard from the rear master suite of the home for easy entertaining. The patio beckons with room for a large barbecue and a large Meyer lemon tree overhangs the edge of the patio. Privacy hedges line the north and east facing side of the yard for maximum tranquility. There is a detached 2 car garage with an automatic door opener with a storage rack in the rear, a 110 outlet and connections for an EV vehicle charger.
