Perched atop a gentle hill in the sought-after San Rafael Estates, this exceptional mid-century modern home blends timeless design with modern comfort to elevate everyday living. A flat, private front yard framed by lush greenery creates a serene escape from city life and a welcoming first impression. Classic double doors open to a formal entry that sets the tone for the home's warm and inviting style. The spacious living room is bathed in natural light, anchored by a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, soaring beamed ceilings, and an expansive wall of windows that bring the outdoors in, the quintessential mid-century touch. At the heart of the home, the open-concept kitchen and dining area are designed for both daily living and effortless entertaining. The sleek white kitchen features an island cooktop, allowing the chef to stay connected while preparing meals, with views of the front yard. A designer chandelier, built-in shelving, and direct patio access make the dining area an ideal gathering space. The primary BR suite is a peaceful retreat, offering a private entry, a wall of closets, and a beautifully updated bath with dual vanities, illuminated mirrors, and a separate tub and shower. Two additional spacious, bright and airy bedrooms share a hallway bath. The back has a patio area and hillside stairs that lead to an upper terrace with sweeping views of the city and beyond offering a blank canvas for your outdoor vision, whether it's a garden, seating area, or entertaining space. Additional features include: an oversized two-car garage with direct interior access and newly finished epoxy floors, Central AC & Heat, wood engineered flooring & exposed beamed ceilings throughout, stainless steel appliances, and so much more. Located just minutes from the 2, 134, 5 & 210 freeways and a short drive to DTLA, it's the perfect combination of convenience and tranquil escape.
