Traditional with a contemporary point of view, every aspect of this home has been lovingly maintained and/or upgraded over the current owners 17 year tenure. Situated on a large lot in a peaceful pocket of Baldwin Vista, this home is open and breezy while offering tremendous privacy. There is a formal living room and a family room, there are indoor and outdoor dining areas and a sumptuous primary suite that is just far enough away from the three additional bedrooms. Some of the upgrades include a remodeled primary bath in Venetian plaster with solid White Oak custom cabinetry, solid walnut floors throughout, all bathrooms and kitchen have been updated at various points, skylights installed, EV charger installed and a micro-inverter solar system installed, paid for and included with the sale. The backyard is an inviting space for entertaining, recreation and relaxation. It's tranquil and completely private with mature foliage anchored by a heated, in-ground pool and spa. There is an outdoor hot and cold shower and several prolific fruit trees including fig, pink grapefruit, tangelo and lemon. The detached 2 car garage has been split. Half of it converted into an office (non-permitted) equipped with a mini-split system and the other half remains as storage. There are custom storage systems inconspicuously built on the sides of the home and a very generous walk-in closet in the primary bedroom. Located on a horse-shoe shaped street, through-traffic is not a thing. Baldwin Vista is one of the city's most thriving and upcoming communities. The entire neighborhood backs up to Kenneth Hahn State Park which creates a tucked away feel. There are 2 access points into the park within the neighborhood, meaning great hikes and nature walks are accessible without a car. The hip West Adams dining scene, Whole Foods, downtown Culver City and the EXPO Line are all literally moments away. The entire area is going through a renaissance with several new projects in development. This is a rare offering, not to be missed.
Baldwin Hills, located between Culver City and Leimert Park, is a hillside and residential Los Angeles neighborhood with sweeping ridge-top views and a signature stairway climb. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Baldwin Hills Scenic Overlook trailhead, where hikers, cyclists, and sunset-watchers set the daily rhythm. Mid-century ranch homes and classic California apartments line curving streets, while the hills shape pocket parks and lookout points. The Village at Baldwin Hills brings a compact retail promenade and casual dining into the mix. Nearby, the KAOS Network and the Vision Theatre anchor a strong arts-and-performance current. Kenneth Hahn State Recreation Area adds big-sky trails and picnic lawns at the edge of the grid.
