Set above the street on a sunny corner lot in Picfair Village, this beautifully updated Traditional home offers a charming blend of classic Los Angeles character, thoughtful modern updates, and exceptional indoor-outdoor living. Step through the signature powder-blue front door into a light-filled, open floor plan featuring hardwood floors, double-paned windows, recessed lighting, central HVAC, smart locks, and a spacious living room anchored by a decorative fireplace. The adjoining dining area is accented with classic wainscoting, while the updated kitchen features quartz countertops, sleek cabinetry, newer GE Cafe kitchen appliances (2024) and convenient in-home laundry. The home offers two bedrooms and two full baths, including a serene primary suite with an en-suite bath and generous spa-style shower. A second full bath features stylish cabinetry and a subway-tiled tub/shower combination. Outside, the professionally designed and landscaped backyard transforms the property into a private urban retreat. Surrounded by mature greenery, jasmine, olive and Meyer lemon trees, the space features built-in seating, ambient landscape lighting and multiple areas for dining, entertaining or simply relaxing outdoors. It's a beautifully considered extension of the home and a rare find in the heart of the city. The private one-car garage provides secure parking and additional storage, while also offering exciting potential to be transformed into a bonus living space, creative studio or dedicated home office. Located just a block from the neighborhood cafes, restaurants and shops along Pico Boulevard, 1442 Ellsmere combines the warmth and character of a classic LA home with an intimate backyard sanctuary. This secluded retreat is in the center of it all! A remarkably central location with convenient access to Culver City, Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Santa Monica, DTLA, LACMA, the new Lucas Museum of Narrative Art, and the 10 Freeway.
