About this home
Set in the hills of Glassell Park, this midcentury traditional home reflects the easy character and creative spirit of the Eastside. Thoughtfully renovated inside and out, it offers a creative, welcoming environment with a sense of style that feels distinctly its own. Inside, the main living spaces open naturally to one another, with light filtering through broad windows and soft views of the garden outside. The living room is anchored by warm hardwood floors and custom built-ins that lend an authentic midcentury feel. Through a set of French doors, the family room extends the space even further into an airy, roughly 400-square-foot retreat centered around a vintage 1960s wood-burning fireplace. It's a place that naturally becomes the backdrop for relaxed evenings, from movies to good conversation and quiet moments by the fire. The kitchen and dining area share a clean, contemporary sensibility. Custom cabinetry, a walnut peninsula, and stainless steel appliances create a visual balance. The layout encourages gathering, with generous counter space for cooking and seamless flow to the outdoor patio. Soft, neutral finishes highlight the light and craftsmanship that define the home's design. Each bedroom includes a custom closet system, and all three bathrooms have been updated with concrete tile and clean, modern finishes. A private side entrance leads directly to one bedroom and bath, ideal for a guest suite or home office. Outdoors, the yard feels like a hidden garden surrounded by olive trees, rosemary, lavender, jasmine, roses, and succulents. Three connected alfresco lounges with built-in seating and Sunbrella shades create inviting areas for relaxing, dining, or entertaining. Each has its own character, with one ideal for coffee, another for shared meals, and one that feels like a hideaway for you and a good book. Dappled sunlight filters through the trees, bringing warmth and movement to the space as the garden hums with color, scent, and the quiet flutter of hummingbirds and butterflies. An oversized two-car garage and brick driveway offer ample parking, while the front porch frames views of the Hollywood Sign, Griffith Observatory, and the glow of sunset over the hills. Turnkey and full of personality, this home offers a natural rhythm of indoor-outdoor living close to neighborhood favorites including Dunsmoor, Wife & Somm, Bub and Grandma's, Kumquat Coffee, Joy, and Triple Beam Pizza, with quick access to major freeways and everything the Eastside has to offer.
