LOCALLA

Situated on a tree-lined street in prime Westwood, this charming, single level, colonial revival is a perfect starter home, trade-down home or pied-a-terre for even the most discerning of buyers. Set on a flat corner lot, the sun streams in from every angle bathing the home in natural light. Constructed in the mid 1930's, this two bedroom plus detached guest suite house features all the best of traditional details including a high-pitched roof with gabled dormers, coved ceilings, warm hardwood floors, chair railing and wainscoting throughout. The tour of the main house starts with a tasteful formal entry leading to a large formal living room with a soaring open beamed ceiling along with a stately marble framed fireplace. Also, off the main hallway there is a gracious formal dining room with lovely wainscoting and crown molding. Adjoining the dining room is an updated, gourmet kitchen with stone counters, St. Charles cabinetry, glistening subway tile, warm porcelain flooring and newer stainless appliances beckoning to the culinary master or chef-to-be in all of us. On the other side of the house is the bedroom wing, including two spacious family bedrooms: one with an ensuite bath, and a second generous bedroom that shares a hall bath. Both bathrooms were recently updated with taste and quality. Finally, there is a third detached bedroom with bath above the garage well-appointed for welcoming the occasional guest or family member. The house wraps around a convivial rear brick patio, with covered outdoor living room and open dining area, elegantly designed for enjoying the quintessential Southern California lifestyle of al fresco entertaining or a quiet afternoon enjoying a book or glass of wine. This truly incomparable home is conveniently located mere minutes from Westwood Blvd shops and restaurants, UCLA campus, Westwood village stores, Century City offices, Tony Westfield mall and is right around the corner from the award-winning Fairburn elementary school.
