Latrobe Street in Montecito Heights: a private hillside community where neighbors look out for one another, hawks & owls perch in the trees, a short walk to the Audubon Center in Debs Park, a couple miles from hip Highland Park, 15 minutes to downtown LA, and a million miles from the stresses of urban living. Leave your cares behind as you cross the threshold of this charming historic home, modernized in recent years with comforts of the new millennium. An open plan connects spacious kitchen to generous living and dining room oriented around an authentic wood-burning fireplace, and each bedroom has its own bathroom, like two master suites. Stainless appliances, updated light fixtures and oil-rubbed bronze fittings throughout. A huge back deck offers views to the Hollywood sign and Observatory, multiple terraces hold mature lemon & avocado trees and more than 20 varieties of native plants, a home gardener's paradise, with a large flat pad ideal for fire pit and playscape. Welcome home!
