With charm & style in spades, this elegant Faircrest Heights traditional has been lovingly restored by its interior designer owner. A central location on a tree-lined street provides easy freeway access & is convenient to Culver City & the new offices of HBO, Google & Apple, the upcoming Whole Foods on La Cienega, & terrific local eateries - whether on Pico to the north or in burgeoning West Adams to the south. Private & tucked away behind mature landscaping, the home offers the perfect blend of original detail & modern upgrades. The living rm features a barrel ceiling & is anchored by a beautiful decorative fireplace & a wall of built-ins that make for a perfect media center & library. Beyond the formal dining rm, the kitchen sports newer custom cabinetry, honed granite counters & ss apps by Viking & Miele. A chic breakfast rm could also double as a reading rm or home office. The large bathrm retains its lovely vintage tiling, built-ins & tub. You'll also find original oak hardwood floors thruout & many original windows which provide classic warmth & character to the home. The rear yard is a magical retreat - framed by a row of Italian cypress & shaded by an olive tree, you can dine al fresco & feel as much in Tuscany or Provence as you do in LA. The garage is currently used for storage & laundry but also has great potential as a home office or ADU.
