Description
Designed in 1958 by celebrated mid-century architect George Vernon Russell, whose work includes the Hollywood Reporter building on Sunset Boulevard and the master plan for UC Riverside, this 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath, approx. 2,116 sq ft single-level modern residence is perched on a gentle rise in West Covina's coveted South Hills, on an exceptional 20,200 sq ft lot. A freshly painted exterior, flat-roofed profile, cantilevered two-car carport, and open-beam trellis over an exposed-aggregate walk announce the architecture before you reach the door. Inside, vaulted tongue-and-groove ceilings and exposed post-and-beam construction soar over the living and dining rooms, divided by a see-through brick fireplace that anchors both spaces while keeping them open to each other. Floor-to-ceiling glass and clerestory windows frame the backyard and fill the rooms with light throughout the day. A lighted art niche adds a gallery touch. Refreshed with new white oak-look luxury vinyl plank flooring and fresh interior paint, the home's main living spaces have been updated with restraint, letting the original design lead. The new kitchen pairs cabinetry in a matching white oak finish with white counters, a gas cooktop set into the peninsula, double wall ovens, and a separate eat-in area with sliding doors to the patio. The primary suite offers its own sliding door to the backyard, plus an en-suite bath with dual vanity and walk-in shower. The bedrooms and baths await the next owner's personal touch, a chance to carry the home's modernist spirit into every room. Outside, a flat, intimate wrap-around yard offers remarkable privacy beneath mature trees. With the trees and the land already in place, the grounds are a blank canvas ready for a pool, a garden, an entertaining space, or an ADU (verify with City). Enclosed storage behind the carport. Newly completed this year includes the entire kitchen and appliances, hallway bathroom, oak luxury vinyl plank flooring, baseboards, wall of glass in the living room, uplighters and paint. Within the South Hills High School attendance area (verify with City). A rare opportunity to own a documented work by one of Southern California's accomplished mid-century architects, on land that is increasingly hard to find.
