About this home

Cool, Classic & Completely Irresistible in Leimert Park! This isn't just a house--it's a whole vibe! Fresh off a stunning remodel, sitting pretty on a wide, sun-drenched street with Hollywood Sign views, this home is giving major curb appeal. Mediterranean-inspired landscaping sets the scene, while a fully gated & private lot, makes life effortless. Inside, it's all about laid-back luxury. A perfect balance of warmth & sophistication with original walnut hardwood floors, creamy white walls, and an airy, open-yet-intentional flow. The spacious living room features a picture window and cozy fireplace. The dining area, anchored by a chic bar with open shelving & wine cooler flows effortlessly into a chef's dream kitchen, serving Edward Martin checkerboard tile, Carrara countertops, luxury Kitchen-Aid appliances, creamy slim shaker cabinetry and timeless Pottery Barn accents, creating a space as functional as it is striking. And the antique wood banquette? It's the chef's kiss--the perfect spot for your morning matcha and endless scrolling!Down the hall, you'll find two spacious guest bedrooms, a designer powder bath for guests, and an additional full bath with double sink vanity and original 1940s art deco soaking tub. The large primary suite features french doors that open straight to the backyard, a walk-in closet ready for customization, and an en-suite bath that feels more boutique hotel than basic, with a soaking tub, dual sink vanity with CB2 hardware and an oversized shower with Bedrosian tiles and views of your backyard, its like your bathing in nature! Outside, the 6,000SF lot is a dream, whether you keep it lush and lounge-worthy, go big with a pool, or convert the 400SF detached garage into an ADU, guest house, or creative studio. We LOVE options! Leimert Park is a neighborhood with soul, culture and community, and with parks, hikes and beaches just a mere 15 minutes away you can be living an active lifestyle while enjoying incredible sunsets and ocean breezes right from home! Plus, we have our own micro-farm and garden & runners club. Additionally, LA's hottest real estate boom happening right here, thanks to major investments with buzzy hotspots in West Adams like Highly Likely & The Mayden Market coming Winter 2025 (5 star Michelin comin' in), all the yummy eateries on Adams blvd, and Culver City where you have art galleries, The Platform and now Erewhon. Just saying! Oh, lets not forget, you are walking distance to the brand-new metro line, connecting Santa Monica to DTLA + LAX. South LA has been gearing up for 2026 World Cup and 2028 Olympics, therefore this is the kind of home you don't just live in, its the neighborhood you invest in!

Pros & Cons

Pros

Extensive Recent Remodel & High-End Finishes: The property boasts a 'stunning remodel' with a 'chef's dream kitchen' featuring luxury Kitchen-Aid appliances, Carrara countertops, and Edward Martin checkerboard tile. The primary suite offers a 'boutique hotel' feel with a soaking tub, dual sink vanity with CB2 hardware, and an oversized shower with Bedrosian tiles, indicating a move-in ready, luxurious interior.
Prime Leimert Park Location & Neighborhood Growth: Situated in the 'Cool, Classic & Completely Irresistible' Leimert Park, a neighborhood with 'soul, culture and community.' Its proximity to 'LA's hottest real estate boom' in West Adams and Culver City, the new metro line, and future major events (2026 World Cup, 2028 Olympics) positions it as a strong investment with significant lifestyle benefits.
ADU Potential & Flexible Outdoor Space: The generous 6,000 sqft lot and 400 sqft detached garage provide excellent potential for conversion into an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), guest house, or creative studio, adding significant value and versatility. The backyard is described as a 'dream' for various outdoor uses.
Desirable Views & Privacy: The property offers 'Hollywood Sign views,' 'incredible sunsets and ocean breezes right from home,' and benefits from a 'fully gated & private lot,' enhancing its appeal, exclusivity, and sense of tranquility.
Excellent Connectivity & Local Amenities: Located within walking distance to the brand-new metro line (connecting Santa Monica to DTLA + LAX) and just 15 minutes from parks, hikes, and beaches. It's also close to buzzy hotspots, diverse eateries, art galleries, and major employment centers, offering unparalleled convenience.

Cons

Recently Sold Property: The property was recently sold within the past year on 2025-07-31. The sold price is $1,500,000.00.
Significant Overpricing Relative to Market Estimates & Comps: The listing price of $1.598M is considerably higher than the property's estimated value of $1.06M (a 33% difference). Several recently sold comparative properties in the immediate vicinity closed at lower price points, suggesting the property may be aggressively priced for the current market.
No Mention of HVAC/Cooling System: Despite extensive interior upgrades, the property description does not mention the presence of a central air conditioning or HVAC system. In Los Angeles' climate, the absence of a modern cooling system could be a notable drawback for potential buyers and may require future investment.
Older Home Structure with Potential Unaddressed Systems: While the home has undergone a 'stunning remodel,' its original construction year of 1956 means core systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, roof) may not have been fully updated to modern standards, unlike some comparable properties that explicitly state new HVAC, electrical panels, and roofs. This could lead to unforeseen maintenance or upgrade costs.
