Historic Meets Modern in Windsor Square

In you want to live in mid-city, it’s hard to find a better neighborhood than Windsor Square/Hancock Park. Broad, tree-covered streets lined with sidewalks and grand, historic homes, and a location that allows for quick access to Hollywood, downtown, and many studios make this the perfect neighborhood for many people. This is especially true for those folks that prefer a flat, walk-able neighborhood over the winding streets of the hills. The problem is there’s not a whole lot of available inventory, and the price point of the typical home is beyond the reach of many. Well, here is a fantastic opportunity to buy into this coveted neighborhood. This turn-key house with plenty of room for a growing family is priced to move. And you can be in just in time for the holidays!

It all begins with stately, timeless curb appeal.

The elegance of this 1918 Traditional is perfectly complemented by 21st century amenities. The first thing you notice as you step through the double front doors and into the spacious foyer is the ornate cornice work overhead. And as you peer into the dining room to your left you’ll notice a continuation of this, but with a different pattern. It’s always a pleasant thing to find a home where this sort of detail has been maintained, even after it has undergone a complete renovation, as is the case with this house.

I said 21st century amenities, didn’t I? Check out the kitchen. Spacious, bright, new, stainless steel, center island. It has it all.

Form a function are evident everywhere, such as this beautiful pantry hallway that connects the kitchen to the dining room.

The dining room easily seats 8. And that’s not counting the cozy built-in seating area along the front picture window!

The other end of the kitchen is completely open and flows into this huge living room.

Yeah, this is a really nice stairway with a wide landing at its turn. Let’s check out the bedrooms upstairs.

The master bedroom is so big, you could sleep an entire family in it. Or you can just deck it out to be a super plush room that you never want to leave. I like the latter idea.

All the bathrooms are completely updated with totally modern finishes. No creaking pipes or drippy faucets to be found here.

There are 3 bedrooms upstairs and one downstairs. This and the next photo are bedrooms 2 and 3 upstairs. Though not as massive in volume as the master, these are also quite spacious.

This is the 4th bedroom, which is located on the main floor. At one time this was the living room. But the house was extended in the rear, creating the huge living room that’s now adjacent to the kitchen and the original living room was converted into this bedroom. If a guest stays here, they’ll love the fact that they get the room with a fireplace!

There is enough parking space to accommodate 6+ cars along the long brick-paved driveway, which is divided in half by a motorized security gate. And in the back, a private yard features lots of patio space surrounded by gardens and fruit trees.

The icing on this real estate cake is the converted garage, which includes a full bath – perfect for an office, studio, or kiddie play center.

All of this, plus the fact that the home is zoned to 3rd Street Elementary make this an absolute must-see.
