Situated on a lovely block in Westwood Park stands this stately home. Proudly displaying its Victorian roots from the front bay window, intricate shingle pattern and covered porch with spindles and dentil detail, to the interior with box beam and coved ceilings, wainscoting and bullseye trim, this light-filled home is ready to welcome its new owner. With a large, gracious entry to formal living and dining rooms, a breakfast area off the kitchen, as well as a converted attic and lower level den and study looking out to the yard, spaces for school and work-from-home abound. A huge east-facing walk-out deck makes eating al fresco easy and pleasant, with nice city views. Around the corner are Safeway grocery and Shanghai Dumpling King. Just a few blocks to Glen Park village for Canyon Market and Pebbles coffee and pastries, or south to Ocean Avenue for Whole Foods Market and Philz Coffee. Transportation nearby with Balboa Park and Glen Park Bart and the 280 and 101 freeways.

RH-1
Residential, House Districts, One-Family
These Districts are occupied almost entirely by single-family houses on lots 25 ft in width, without side yards. Floor sizes and building styles vary, but tend to be uniform within tracts developed in distinct time periods. Though built on separate lots, the structures have the appearance of small-scale row housing, rarely exceeding 35 ft in height. Front setbacks are common, and ground level open space is generous. In most cases the single-family character of these Districts has been maintained for a considerable time.
