Tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac overlooking Brentwood, this private midcentury home blends timeless California design with modern updates and canyon views. Recently redone, the front exterior welcomes with olive and lemon trees, fresh landscaping, and updated brickwork, pillars, and fencing. Inside, wide-plank floors, exposed beams, and French doors fill the home with warmth and natural light. The bright living room flows into a step-down office/den. The formal dining room with large windows leads into the kitchen that features a marble backsplash, stainless steel appliances, butcher block and stone countertops, custom glass cabinetry, and a breakfast nook. The primary suite occupies its own private wing with custom built-ins, access to the expansive backyard, and an ensuite bath. Two additional bedrooms await, each with its own updated ensuite tile bath, and additional storage. Set on a very generous lot with multiple landscaped terraces and citrus and avocado trees, this property also includes a spacious two-car direct entry garage. Perched in the hills above Brentwood, this home combines privacy and connection close to shopping, popular Kenter Elementary, endless hiking and biking.

Condition Rating
Excellent
Despite being built in 1949, this property has undergone extensive and high-quality modern renovations, as evidenced by the 'recently redone' exterior, wide-plank floors, and the gourmet kitchen featuring marble backsplash, stainless steel appliances, and custom cabinetry. All three bathrooms are described as 'updated ensuite tile baths.' The overall aesthetic is fresh, contemporary, and move-in ready, meeting current quality standards. The only notable omission is a cooling system, but the quality of the recent updates throughout the rest of the home places it firmly in the excellent category.
Pros & Cons

Pros

High Available Lot Utilization: The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 15777, living area = 2107.
Great Schools: Elementary School: Fairburn Avenue Elementary School (9/10).
Exceptional Location & Privacy: Situated at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in the desirable Brentwood hills, offering privacy, canyon views, and convenient access to top-rated schools (Kenter Elementary), shopping, and recreational activities.
Tastefully Updated Mid-Century Design: A charming 1949 midcentury home that seamlessly blends timeless California architecture with recent modern updates, including wide-plank floors, exposed beams, French doors, and a recently redone exterior.
Gourmet & Functional Kitchen: Features a beautifully updated kitchen equipped with a marble backsplash, stainless steel appliances, butcher block and stone countertops, custom glass cabinetry, and a practical breakfast nook.
Expansive & Landscaped Lot: Boasts a very generous 15,777 sqft lot with multiple landscaped terraces, mature citrus and avocado trees, providing ample outdoor living space and enhancing curb appeal.
Thoughtful Layout & Ensuite Baths: Offers a well-designed interior with a step-down office/den, a private primary suite with custom built-ins and backyard access, and all three bedrooms featuring updated ensuite tile baths.

Cons

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 2107, other record living area = 1871. Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 3, other record bedroom count = 2.
Absence of Cooling System: The property description does not mention a cooling system (e.g., central air conditioning), which could be a significant comfort concern during Los Angeles's warmer months.
Age-Related Maintenance Considerations: While updated, the 1949 construction year may imply potential for age-related maintenance or infrastructure updates not explicitly covered by the 'modern updates' mentioned.
High Landscape Maintenance: The 'very generous lot with multiple landscaped terraces' and mature trees, while attractive, suggests a potentially high ongoing cost and effort for landscaping maintenance.
