Description
A distinctive mid-century home on a prime Windsor Hills corner lot, offering original character, flexible living spaces, and meaningful improvements throughout. Set along one of the neighborhood's quiet, curved streets, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath residence blends timeless details with a comfortable, functional layout. A newly landscaped, drought-tolerant front garden with lavender, lantana, rosemary, brick detailing, privacy hedging, and irrigation creates a warm first impression. Inside, the vaulted living room is the heart of the home, featuring a dramatic full-height brick fireplace, picture windows on two sides, and refinished hardwood floors that continue through the formal dining room and bedrooms. The dining room includes a built-in buffet with stone counters, while the galley kitchen offers granite countertops, recessed lighting, a stainless gas range, a French-door refrigerator, and convenient backyard access. Just beyond the main living areas, a step-down den adds valuable flexibility. Floor-to-ceiling built-in bookshelves line both walls, and sliding doors open to the patio, making the room ideal for a home office, library, media room, or relaxed second living space. The primary suite is positioned at the rear of the home and features a walk-in closet, private bath, a full wall of built-in wardrobes with drawers, and its own separate entrance. Bedroom 2 includes a skylight that brings in additional natural light and works equally well as a bedroom, office, or creative space. The third bedroom offers additional flexibility for guests, work-from-home needs, or everyday living. The original hall bath retains its classic period blue tile, adding authentic mid-century character. Outside, the private backyard is framed by mature hedging and features a painted patio, built-in barbecue, planted beds, and a gravel side garden with bench seating. Additional highlights include a newer roof and gutters, owned Tesla rooftop solar, an attached two-car garage with direct access, and a wide driveway. Conveniently located near Hilltop Coffee + Kitchen, Simply Wholesome, Somerville, Jon & Vinny's Slauson, Kenneth Hahn State Recreation Area, and the Baldwin Hills trailheads, with easy access to SoFi Stadium, the Forum, Culver City, the 405, and Westside beaches. Virtually staged.
