1606 Stearns Drive, Faircrest Heights - SOLD: $1,430,000
2 Bed | 1 Bath | 1,214 Sq Ft | Listed $1,299,000
With charm and style in spades, this elegant Faircrest Heights traditional has been lovingly restored by its interior designer owner. A central location on a tree-lined street provides easy freeway access and is convenient to Culver City and the new offices of HBO, Google and Apple, the upcoming Whole Foods on La Cienega, and various terrific local eateries - whether on Pico to the north, or in burgeoning West Adams to the south.
Private and tucked away behind mature landscaping, the home offers the perfect blend of original detail and modern upgrades. The living room features a barrel ceiling and is anchored by a beautiful decorative fireplace and a wall of built-ins that make for a perfect media center and library. Beyond the formal dining room, the kitchen sports newer custom cabinetry, honed granite counters and stainless appliances by Viking and Miele. A chic breakfast room could also double as a reading room or home office.
The large bathroom retains its lovely vintage tiling, built-ins and tub. You'll also find original oak hardwood floors throughout, and many original windows which provide classic warmth and character to the home.
The rear yard is a magical retreat. Framed by a row of Italian cypress and shaded by an olive tree, you can dine al fresco and feel as much in Tuscany or Provence as you do in LA. The garage is currently used for storage and laundry but also has great potential as a home office or an ADU.
