Modern Spanish

Latrobe Street in Montecito Heights:  a private hillside community where neighbors look out for one another, red-tailed hawks and spotted owls perched in the trees, a short walk to the Audubon Center in Debs park, a couple of miles from hip Highland Park, fifteen minutes to downtown Los Angeles, and a million miles from the stresses of urban living. Leave your cares behind as you cross the threshold of this charming historic home from the turn of the last century, relocated to the site in the fifties, and modernized in recent years with comforts of the new millennium. An open plan connects the spacious kitchen to a generous living and dining room oriented around an authentic wood-burning fireplace, and each bedroom has its own bathroom, like two master suites. Stainless steel appliances, updated light fixtures, and oil-rubbed bronze fittings throughout. A huge back deck offers westerly views to the Hollywood sign and Griffith Park Observatory, multiple terraces hold mature lemon and avocado trees, and more than 20 varieties of native plants, a home gardener’s paradise, with a large flat pad ideal for fire pit and playscape.
