619 S Citrus Ave
Los Angeles, CA
Built in 1924, this gorgeous Spanish-style home situated on a quiet tree-lined street has been part of one family’s history since 1939. This 3 bed 2 bath home has been beautifully maintained for decades with updates that have been in keeping with the historic feel of the home and the Citrus Square neighborhood of Hancock Park. The architectural details inside and out are impeccable and when you walk into the living room with “wedding cake” plaster scrolling on the ceiling it is an experience you won’t forget. The exquisite plaster scrolling is also found in 2 of the bedrooms and on 2 doors in the residence. The front arched window with a view to the front garden is spectacular with its intricate design and columns. The spacious dining room has a chandelier reminiscent of the original fixture and is filled with windows and light. The 3 bedrooms are all well sized and light filled. The back bedroom has newer French doors leading to the back yard. The other 2 bedrooms are adjacent to colorful tile bathrooms, one with an updated shower. The kitchen has a built in original seating area, stainless appliances and is open to a laundry area with tank less water heater, washer and dryer and a door to the outside. There are beautiful original hardwood floors throughout. Central heat and air have been added along with newer paint, plumbing and electrical. There is a 2-car detached garage next to a nicely sized private backyard. This home is located within the highly sought-after 3rd Street Elementary School District, near the Grove, LACMA, Larchmont Village, and walking distance to shops and restaurants on La Brea and Wilshire. This section of Citrus Ave has beautiful large trees to provide shade and lots of curb appeal and there is no thru traffic to Wilshire.
