Property Description
Nestled in the hillside community of Montecito Heights, is an elegantly renovated, move-in ready Mid-Century Modern 'platform house,' originally designed by Richard Kearney and John Pugsley. One of 23 remaining contributing residences to the Montecito Drive Historic District according to Survey LA. The home is a short walk to Debs Park and Flat Top Hill, and 15-minute drive to Downtown L.A., Chinatown, and Highland Park. This home can be your retreat. The current owners purchased the home in 2017 and made significant structural, finish and energy efficient upgrades while preserving and enhancing the original intent of this "California modern" style house. The structural floor and roof diaphragms were retrofitted, and seismic shear wall added, for the integration of two 10-foot-wide, floor-to-ceiling, insulated, premium Fleetwood sliding glass doors that maximize natural daylight, ventilation, and frame picture-perfect panoramic views of the surrounding landscape.
Enjoy the mountain and city views of Los Angeles to Long Beach from your bedroom, living room, dining room, and office. The original south facing exterior courtyard was enclosed to protect the supporting cantilevered floor joists and beams while increasing usable square footage. A glue laminated Douglas fir beam in the interior living room ceiling was added to create an open space plan, that materially compliments the new oak wood flooring throughout and Garapa (Brazilian hardwood) decking at the exterior balcony. Other improvements include new insulated glass Fleetwood windows, operable roller shades, new entrance doors, douglas fir interior doors with obscured lite, new door hardware and pulls throughout, central A/C system, Montigo contemporary gas fireplace, built-in closet and storage cabinets, renovated kitchen with energy efficient, stainless steel appliances, all new exterior wall and roof insulation throughout, recessed LED lighting, 1 car attached carport with storage and 1,092 SF available for solar panels per Google Project Sunroof 3D Modeling estimates. The house sits on a generous 9,147 SF lot with an enclosed front patio perfect for alfresco dining, entertaining or simply waking up to the natural breeze in this desirable NELA hillside community. You must experience this home for yourself.
