Set within the coveted enclave of Adams Hill, this 1926 French Normandy residence balances architectural integrity with an inviting California lifestyle. Surrounded by mature trees and layered greenery, the residence is defined by character, filtered light and a quiet sense of retreat. At the center of the home, a dramatic living room establishes scale and proportion-soaring coved ceilings, arched openings, and a layout that feels intimate and elevated. The charming, formal dining room is framed by casement windows that capture mountain and city views, offering a natural extension of the home's understated elegance. The main level is thoughtfully arranged with two bedrooms and two baths, including a full bath with clawfoot tub and a three-quarter bath with tiled walk-in shower. Walk-in pantry and laundry room with large butcher block island compliment the french country kitchen. Period-appropriate schoolhouse lighting and expansive windows reveal treetop vistas accented by outdoor decks for quiet mornings or evening gatherings under the canopy. A permitted lower-level ADU, accessed via private entry, functions as a fully independent space with kitchen, laundry, dining area, generous storage, mini-split HVAC, and view-facing windows. Ideal for guests, creative workspace, or additional income. Recent improvements include a new roof, electrical panel, tankless water heater, Bosch dishwasher, LG washer & dryer, and a smart water monitoring system with automatic shutoff. Just moments from Adams Square Mini Park, Little Ripper, KAFN, Dune, Bub & Grandmas, Dunsmoor and the vibrant dual language John Muir Elementary school, The Americana at Brand, Brand Library & Art Center and the Griffith Park Golf Club. An Adams Hill gem, where classic architecture, thoughtful updates and sought-after hillside community converge.
