In the idyllic stretch of Linda Vista Avenue between Banyan and Afton Streets, surrounded by architectural charm, the neighborhood branch library and a park tucked just across the street, sits this handsome 1946 Mid-century traditional home. Rich with contemporary updates and character details, this property has been maintained and enhanced to wonderful effect. Mature landscaping and a striking horizontal plank fence introduce the front garden, a study in inspired simplicity; both relaxed and elegant plantings and hardscape offer interesting geometry and color blocking. Follow the wide, gravel-lined front path past the cascading fountain to enter a quiet, light-filled haven inside. From the entry and living room, original elements of this home shine: refinished white oak floors, decorative stacked brick fireplace. Functional double pocket doors on brass inset tracks lead into the generously-scaled dining room to the south. The adjacent kitchen with classic shaker-style cabinetry, high-back porcelain apron sink, and tile backsplash with sunny yellow tile pencil liner nods to the past. A convenient pantry (or mudroom) with vintage-inspired beadboard cabinets, and butcher block laundry countertop also feels happy and vintage-inspired. Just off the kitchen is the character-filled family room, with its tongue-in-groove wood paneled walls and beamed shiplap ceiling, a second decorative fireplace and adjoining 3/4 bath. The backyard garden view through the bank of double-hung sash windows here is a winner: it's a picture of lush green podocarpus hedges and fruit trees, with fields of turf, decomposed granite, and an ultra-private outdoor patio. Down the hall to the east and the west, find two spacious bedrooms, each with pretty garden views, and the large full bath. Outside, the backyard offers space to enjoy, as well as a detached, finished two car garage with storage closet and connected workshop/office space. Located 4 minutes from the Rose Bowl, 5 minutes from the Norton Simon Museum, and 10 minutes from Descanso Gardens, there is so much to enjoy here, both on the property and in the surrounding area.
