Property Description

Lovingly maintained, classic 1908 Craftsman home! Increasingly rare opportunity to purchase move-in condition historical home with intact period features, including unpainted woodwork in main rooms, such as crown moldings, wainscoting, plate rails, and beamed ceilings; built-in cabinetry (china cabinet and multiple bookcases); stained and leaded glass in dining room, living room and library; original period light fixtures; hardwood floors; working pocket doors; and cast stone fireplace and yet also updated, with solar (including new inverter save on electric costs!), wiring for car charger, and central AC on second floor. This property qualifies for the "Hello Home" mortgage program that offers a $20,000 grant for down payment, or closing costs, or interest rate buydown. The deep front yard invites you onto the impressive front porch. From here, step through a wide original Craftsman door with beveled glass and two flanking leaded glass side panels. Inside, the center entry hall features a built-in seat bench and an open, multi-landing staircase to the second floor. To the left of the entry hall are pocket doors leading to the impressive formal dining room; to the right is another set of pocket doors leading to the living room and library with multiple bookcases and built-in drop-down desk. The cheerful breakfast room also has a built-in china cabinet; it overlooks the rear deck and yard and is open to the kitchen. Upstairs, a generous primary bedroom suite currently combines two bedrooms plus a substantial walk-in closet (with its own sink) and rear sunroom / dressing room with three more closets. This suite has French doors that open to a front outdoor balcony. The bedroom suite also opens directly to the main and very spacious tiled bathroom with claw foot tub. Two other bedrooms and a second full bathroom are also upstairs. A room used currently as a second floor laundry/flex space could be converted into another cozy bedroom if desired. Access to the large deck and verdant rear yard is through a full utility room; here there is also a half-bathroom. The oversized, two-car garage currently has a workbench and storage areas. But why always drive? Nearby Venice Boulevard has bike lanes and a bus line from DTLA to the beach. This central Arlington Heights location provides easy access to Culver City, Hollywood, K-Town, and Downtown L.A. Close to Pasta Sisters, Surfas, El Cholo's, Truffle Brothers/Spaccio Salumeria, and all the popular Adams Boulevard eating experiences. This home is historically protected: It is a Contributor to the Arlington Heights Character Residential District, and has been identified by SurveyLA as individually eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places, writing that it "exemplifies the tenets of the Arts & Crafts Movement."
