1944 Virginia Road

This Wellington Square gem is a beautiful example of how to combine fully remodeled, freshly designed, modern, comfy living with tasteful preservation and respect for architectural details. Owned by an engineer, the infrastructure and remodel of the home, including plumbing, electrical and HVAC systems were all chosen for their quality. This Mediterranean Revival style home has period rooms symmetrically set to the center hallway. You will have a prime location within the block, about 5 houses down from the weekly Sunday farmer's market and a 2-minute walk to a local cafe. Entering the house, you pass a Manzanillo olive tree flanked by 2 lime trees before stepping up to the new, original styled hardwood floors and cast-iron character floor vents. The combination of high ceilings, light floors and many windows all contribute to bringing in a flood of light rarely seen in homes of this historical vintage. The large and open kitchen and den are both cozy and convenient for entertaining and daily living. The architecturally designed kitchen is upgraded to the highest standards, with a giant island, 6 burner Wolf range, large walk-in pantry and a huge, double door stainless steel refrigerator. Down the steps is the largest basement I have seen in Wellington Square. Upstairs you will find 4 ample bedrooms, along with access to a large roof patio overlooking the backyard. The entire back side of the house, including the kitchen and the living room, is lined with French doors that open up to a manicured landscape with plenty of room for a pool. A giant, blooming orange tree greets you as you get acquainted with this outdoor oasis hosting a 2-car garage, large tool shed and a convenient, pre-plumbed bonus room / workout studio / office with separate electrical panel! Wellington Square is a close-knit community inside of a rare, cul de sac neighborhood with access to the houses only from the North, Washington Blvd. Central to the city, with easy access to freeways make much of the city of Los Angeles within reach in apx. 20 minutes, including the beaches! This is a rare offering of a home where so much attention to detail has been provided! A perfect balance of beauty and technology in an architecturally relevant home in a sublime location.
