Hillside 1940s Minimal Traditional in Jefferson Park with sweeping views. Uniquely positioned on the crest of the hill, it's one of the best views in all of Jefferson Park / West Adams dotted with palm trees and bungalows below, all the way to Rancho Palos Verdes. Approaching the home, you are greeted by a hillside of carefully chosen California Native plants, including fragrant sages and buckwheat plants that reflect the coastal chaparral terrain. This three bedroom, three bathroom home is nearly 2,000 sq. ft of well laid out living space with modern updates and historic, including dentil crown molding. There's a generous entry with natural slate tile by Cle' and coat closet. The living room is spacious with a large bay window and views of the city below. The kitchen and dining room are open to the living room, providing a visual flow throughout, perfect for entertaining. The kitchen has ample storage and the most charming awning wood window that overlooks the backyard. One of the most special qualities of the home is the direct sight lines from the front to back of the home - the flow to the outside feels effortless and connected. The secondary bedrooms are well proportioned with an updated bathroom between. The primary suite at the rear of the home features a vaulted ceiling with an exposed wood beam as well as large sliding glass doors that blur the lines between outside and in. An ensuite bathroom and multiple closets, one large enough to be an office or nursery, provide a flexible and peaceful area. All bedrooms all feature ceramic lights by Cedar and Moss. The backyard is a dreamscape with lush native and regionally appropriate plants, flat usable grass areas, a majestic tree and custom bench seating. You can enjoy a glass of wine in the private oasis of the backyard or enjoy a sunset from the front yard, surrounded by meadow type grasses and flowering yarrow. The house has been updated with newer electrical, plumbing, recently replaced roof and a seismic retrofitted / bolted foundation.
