It’s rare and wonderful when a home checks off all the boxes for certain prospective buyers. Mid-century style? Check. Restored and move-in ready? Check. Great neighborhood? One of the best. 4+ bedrooms? Check. En suite baths? Pool? You bet. Ivanhoe Elementary School District? As if you have to ask at this point. 3019 Surry Street is that kind of stylish, magical, and fully realized home that only comes around once in a blue moon.
The home, originally built in 1951, underwent a major face lift and rehab in recent years. The property is nestled behind double star pine trees in a great enclave of Los Feliz.
The home is a prime example of Southern California modernist indoor/outdoor living. In true Southern California mid-century style, the U-shaped home has walls of French doors that open to the backyard and pool area, plus several skylights and clerestory windows which create an abundance of light in the welcoming living room. The living room also has a stunning marble fireplace.
The dreamy outdoor spaces include a great, covered spot for dining and entertaining. While you’re enclosed and safe from the elements, there are three skylights that let the sun shine through. You’ll love the spending cozy afternoons curled up in the hammock with a good book. Sitting fireside with the family in the chillier winter evenings will be a lovely pastime.
The pool is surrounded by a kid-safe glass barrier, easily removable/addable in the future.
Back inside you’ll find an open formal dining area.
The absolute gorgeous connoisseurs kitchen has top-of-the-line stainless steel PRO appliances, a wine cooler, a bread warmer (a toaster for us mere mortals), lots of marble counter space, and a large eat-in entertainment island that overlooks the pool.
And did I mention this beautiful turquoise cabinetry?
With a view like this who would mind doing the dishes? Not that you’d have to, as the kitchen includes a dishwasher of course.
I especially love the home’s light fixtures.There’s a second living room or den if you’d rather call it that has easy outdoor access.
3019 Surry Street has not one but two spacious masters suites, each on their own wing.
The first master opens up to the pool.
And it has a designer bath to die for, custom vintage-inspired wallpaper, two sinks and vanities, and custom cabinetry and storage.
The master en suite baths have been expertly designed.
With three more bedrooms the sky’s the limit. Whether used as children’s nurseries or guest quarters they are each magical spaces.
There’s also an office space.
And what office would be complete without its own full en suite bath? In fact, all of the four bedrooms and the office have their own baths. Sharing may be caring but it’s not necessary at 3019 Surry.
Upgrades to the home include 2 tankless water heater, kitchen cabinets, dual zone systems and pool upgrades and a 3-car garage. If you were thinking if the home lacked just one thing it was a grassy area for picnics and pets. Well, you’d be wrong. In addition to the pool, the property boasts dreamy multi-level grassy areas.
The property is completely enclosed and private. In fact its current owners are a couple of well known actors….ask me who when we take a tour.
Located in the extraordinarily coveted Ivanhoe Elementary School District, this is the perfect home for a family to enjoy and grow into. If your check list contains everything I mentioned above, you’ll sacrifice none of your must-haves at this stylish California Modernist compound. Let’s go see it.
