Why we have a crush on this property

Tucked neatly away in L.A.’s Jefferson Park neighborhood, this 1911 Craftsman home for sale seems to display elegance at every turn. From the sidewalk its curb appeal is evident, thanks to a spacious, plant-filled porch, a statement door, and a big bay window. It’s only a taste of what’s to come on the inside, where there are five bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and more than 2,000 square feet of living space.

The main living room is anchored by a whitewashed brick fireplace. Beside it, there’s a windowed office nook with a built-in desk and storage bench, while beyond it, the lounge area leads into the open, airy dining room. There, a period china cabinet has been updated to straddle the line of vintage and contemporary. The room’s molding, wainscoting, and oak floors top off its 1900s charm.

In the kitchen, things are a bit more modern with a marble island, an ILVE range, custom hood, marbled backsplash, Bosch dishwasher, and built-in paneled fridge. These stylish amenities are complemented by vaulted ceilings with exposed beams and cabinets painted in shades of blue.

The home’s five bedrooms offer even more live and work space. The main bedroom has an attached bathroom with a double vanity, not to mention a walk-in closet and a wet bar. The home’s other bathroom boasts a clawfoot tub and a transom window.

The Craftsman’s charms continue in the backyard, where a patio with a fire pit makes a fitting spot for dining al fresco. The property is listed by Andrea Dunlop with Sotheby’s International Realty Loz Feliz Brokerage for $1,275,000.
