Urban oasis! On a quiet, tree-lined crescent road, this 1949 mid-century ranch-style home is handsome from the curb, with attractive landscaping, an array of solar panels and classic board and batten wood siding. A mature, drought tolerant front yard offers appeal and privacy while enhancing the persimmon-hued exterior against Southern California blue skies. Enter to find nicely proportioned living spaces, with updated flooring leading into the design inspired living room, boasting papered accent wall and decorative fireplace. The living room flows seamlessly into the sunny open concept dining room with den space and adjacent kitchen on the south side of the home. Natural light fills the space from dual pane windows and fabulous french doors that punctuate the dining room and open to showcase the stunning open-air entertaining spaces. Two comfortable bedrooms with views of front and back gardens are nicely sized and share a full bath with a calming white and travertine tile palette. Truly, this home offers the coveted indoor-outdoor LA lifestyle: head to the kitchen patio to dine under the fruiting grapevine trellis and relax to water sounds of the flowing fountain, or open the dining room to comfy seating at the abundant lemon tree and giant bird of paradise. While water wise, both front and back gardens feel lush, almost tropical and transporting, with succulents, native iris, hibiscus and aloes. Living here is inspired but also easy, with convenient garage access just outside the kitchen door and many upgrades, including solar, newer roof, newer HVAC and energy efficient
