Property is move-in ready.
Originally built in 1940, the home has been well-maintained and updated, making it functional and move-in ready. The kitchen features granite-style countertops and a glass subway-tile backsplash from a past renovation, the bathrooms are clean and functional, and the home retains well-kept original features like gleaming hardwood floors.
The detached two-car garage features a finished interior and side entry, offering a prime opportunity for conversion into an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) for rental income or a guest suite.
This 1940s Leimert Park traditional maintains its historic integrity with original hardwood floors, crown molding, wainscoting, and a classic wood-burning fireplace, providing high aesthetic appeal.
The seller's willingness to consider credits for a mortgage rate buydown or closing costs offers a significant financial advantage, improving buyer affordability in the current interest rate environment.
Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 4, other record bedroom count = 2.
Fitting four bedrooms into 1,583 square feet of living space may result in smaller individual room dimensions, which could feel cramped for buyers prioritizing spacious primary suites.
Given the 1940 construction date, the property may require ongoing maintenance or future upgrades to aging mechanical, electrical, or plumbing systems common in homes of this era.
Welcome to 3736 Edgehill Drive, a classic 1940 Leimert Park traditional with gleaming hardwood floors, a private backyard retreat, and a detached two-car garage with ADU potential. Even better, the seller will consider a credit toward a rate buydown and/or closing costs. Set behind a deep, manicured lawn framed by bird of paradise and palms, the home makes a warm first impression with its brick chimney, bay window, and long gated driveway. Inside, approximately 1,583 sq ft of single-level living offers 4 bedrooms and 2.5 baths on a 5,905 sq ft lot, with rich hardwood flowing through the main living areas and bedrooms. The living room is anchored by a wood-burning fireplace with a white mantel, flanked by built-in shelving and brightened by recessed lighting. The formal dining room delivers the 1940s character buyers love: crown molding, wainscoting, a chandelier, and French doors that pull in natural light. The kitchen offers generous wood cabinetry, granite-style counters, a glass subway-tile backsplash, and a gas range, with an indoor laundry room just off the kitchen that has its own door to the yard. The bedrooms are bright and well-proportioned, including a light-filled corner room with paneled walls that works beautifully as a bedroom, home office, or creative studio. Out back, a covered pergola patio with brick pavers sets the stage for outdoor dining and weekend gatherings, opening to a private, block-walled yard with lawn and a mature lemon tree. The detached two-car garage features a finished interior, side entry door, and built-in shelving, and presents an opportunity for ADU potential: a guest suite, home office, or future rental income (buyer to verify with the City of Los Angeles). All of this in Leimert Park, one of LA's most culturally rich neighborhoods, known for its tree-lined streets, classic architecture, and the art, music, and dining of Leimert Park Village. Minutes to the K Line, the Crenshaw corridor, and Kenneth Hahn State Recreation Area, with easy access to Culver City, USC, Downtown LA, SoFi Stadium, and LAX. Character, space, and real upside, plus a seller ready to help with your rate and closing costs. Homes like this don't come along often. Don't miss it.
