Restored Montecito Heights Craftsman – 4135 Griffin Avenue

Posted on

4135 Griffin Avenue
Los Angeles, CA 90031

3 bedrooms / 2 baths
Listing Price: $949,000

If you haven’t been looking in Montecito Heights then I think this gorgeously restored craftsman will make you start… You know Montecito Heights, right? Next to Mt. Washington and Highland Park? Near the 110? Close to Dodger Stadium? A short drive or train to Downtown and Pasadena? Residents refer to as the ‘Wilderness in the City’ because it’s peaceful and quiet, sitting atop the Monterey Hills and offering some of the best views of the city. 4135 Griffin Avenue is a restored three bedroom home built in 1920 that will have you packing your bags, moving into the neighborhood, and becoming a Montecito Heights-ian (Okay, I made that last part up. No one says that…).

The craftsman home is located in an Historic Preservation Overlay Zone, which means the neighborhood will always maintain its historic character and charm. Plus, it’s on a large flat lot zoned LAR3, which means it allows multiple dwellings.

Inside the home boasts all wood character windows, new narrow oak floors, skylights, antique crystal door knobs, exposed wood moldings, and antique lighting. The spacious living room is bright and when you open those humungous windows you can be sure the hillside breeze will calmly make its way inside. Oh, and there’s new central air and heat too if you want to keep those windows closed during summer!

The formal dining rom doesn’t feel too formal or disconnected – it sits between the living room and the kitchen, creating a practicable Southern California open layout living space.

The new period wood kitchen has gorgeous stainless steel appliances, lots of storage and counter space, undermount lighting, and easy outdoor access great for entertaining in your big, backyard and wood deck. But we’ll get outside in just a moment.

The master suite has a big walk-in closet plus outdoor access.

The en suite bath is lovely, and has a double sink, double medicine cabinets, and a long relaxing soaking tub.

Two more bedrooms feature direct access to the yard via a pair of French doors. Plus, there’s another guest bath with double sinks.

The rear yard has a gorgeous redwood deck perfect for entertaining and relaxation. I mean, don’t you want to just start barbecuing now?

And this is a really cool feature. This patio at the back of the home has clear fencing which allows stunning views of Mt. Washington all while being canopied under the shade of a mature oak tree.

The garage is insulated and drywalled with a high open beamed ceiling, double french doors to patio and is ready to become your artists or musicians studio or (or a garage for your car if that’s your thing).

4135 Griffin Avenue is an incredible home in NELA. There’s something removed and hillside about it, all while still being nearby Deb’s Park, Heritage Square, Lummis House, Sycamore Park, and the metro. And have I even mentioned how perfect this home is for dog-lovers?
