Things we love about this Property Crush:
This Los Angeles home harkens back to a time before “builder-grade” was an adjective – and an unflattering one at that. So when it comes to the dark wood-beam ceilings and board-and-batten molding in the spacious living room, we’re smitten.
The bright, three-window kitchen has a vintage feel, with a built-in breakfast nook, butcher-block countertops and that oh-so-sought-after feature: the farm sink. Plus, there are modern upgrades, like stainless steel appliances.
The large wooden patio, which includes a mature tree growing from the center of it, is a perfect spot for backyard entertaining and intimate dinners. But perhaps our favorite space in this two-bedroom charmer is the tucked-away sunroom, which features a huge window and feels like the ideal place for reading (or napping – no judgment).
