Perched high above the street, this timeless 1937 Spanish-style home captures sweeping views of the Los Angeles Harbor and the iconic Vincent Thomas Bridge. Arched windows and classic architectural details set the tone, while original hardwood floors add warmth and character throughout. The spacious living room features coved ceilings, and a striking wood burning fireplace with an oak mantle and stone facing as its centerpiece. Many windows bathe the space in bountiful sunlight and harbor views can be seem from almost every room in the house! With over 1,700 square feet, the floor plan is both generous and functional. The large formal dining room flows into a beautifully remodeled kitchen, appointed with hickory cabinets, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances (including a French door refrigerator), and a convenient wet bar/prep sink. A built-in office nook and a garden window overlooking the lush backyard add both style and utility, while the adjacent laundry room provides even more storage and pantry space. An updated ¾ bath completes the first level. As you make your way up the winding staircase with its original iron railing, you’ll find two spacious bedrooms – one with dual closets, including a walk-in! There is also an updated full bathroom. A versatile bonus room (perfect for a nursery, office or creative space) opens to a shaded veranda overlooking the backyard. The backyard is a true retreat—boasting a mature avocado tree heavy with fruit, a wide grassy area, a large entertaining deck, and a Tuff Shed for extra storage. Alley access to a two-car garage completes the property. Over time, this property has been updated with dual pane windows, newer FAU, water heater (2021), and even drain and sewer line upgrades. There is added storage in the (easily accessible) basement…or maybe even a potential wine cellar! Surrounding new construction can only increase your home's value! This property is well located close to everything you need, and not far to the Marina, Cabrillo Beach and several parks. The main attraction is the upcoming West Harbor waterfront, with new restaurants, shops, an amphitheater and even a Ferris Wheel! This home blends historic charm with thoughtful updates, all in a hillside setting with amazing harbor views. ***THIS PROPERTY QUALIFIES FOR A $20,000 COMMUNITY GRANT PROGRAM THROUGH CITIBANK'S LADDER-UP PROGRAM***
