Built in 1911

An ethereal, historic craftsman bungalow in coveted Jefferson Park HPOZ. Just a decade out from her centennial, this c. 1911 dwelling feels warm, considered, and calls out to the preservationist in us, marrying period details with considered updates. Meander through a garden of native flora to your hulking front door with slices of paned glass. Enter to an effortlessly chic living room centered around a fireplace with gravitas, made for low-lit evenings curled up with a good book. Rich wood detailing lines the lower walls & impossibly rare, vintage pink-and-green tulip stained glass motifs sparkle in upper corners. With a few steps on original hardwood floors you'll find the dining room, boasting diamond leaded-glass built-ins, wainscoting, and antique brass hardware; the kind of period craftsmanship impossible to replicate today. Through a gently swinging door you enter a serene chef's kitchen. This space has been thoughtfully updated, with a kind of fresh & elevated aura one might find in a New York pied-e-terre. Tiptoe back through the living room to the primary, which has wabi-sabi vibes in spades and a gorgeous, light-filled ensuite. The remaining two bedrooms feel soft and feathery, with bay windows & ample closets. A sunny laundry room that could almost double as a greenhouse is your portal into a backyard kissed from the pages of Sunset Mag. Butterflies dance among California natives, architectural agaves & mature trees, with vignettes that call for meals alfresco & long conversations into the blue. A grassy yard & stone pathways invite you to walk barefoot around this sanctuary, and if the muse strikes, pass through a fragrant arbor of jasmine to your studio. The birthplace of award-winning soundtracks, this space is fully soundproof, with a skylight and split system ... it could be your home office, painting lair, or zen space for the multi-hyphenate creative. A two-car garage with exposed wood ceilings rounds out the backyard, and a series of systems updates within the last ten years offer peace of mind (seismic retrofitting, newer HVAC, the aforementioned kitchen + baths). Take a lap back around at twilight and pause on your classic, vine-covered front porch ... a space for soft summer evenings under a late July moon. Steps from bohemian eateries like Tartine, Johnny's, & Highly Likely, and moments from a neighborhood park, you remain close-in to the buzz while retaining a sense of space and greenery. An artist's residence from a bygone era awaiting her next custodian.
