2340 W 30th St Los Angeles, CA 90018

Picture-perfect restored original Craftsman Bungalow with upgrades for modern living. This move-in condition bungalow sits on a sought-after Jefferson Park block with other restored homes. It retains its original woodwork, built-ins, oak flooring, leaded glass windows, and overall historic charm plus 21st century amenities including central AC and heat, electric car charger, tankless water heater and fully-updated kitchen. Built-ins everywhere! Bookcases, multiple seat benches with storage, drop-down desk, formal china cabinet, and even a seat bench and storage cabinets in the main bathroom. This home is so iconic of the Craftsman Movement that it was even photographed for a coffee table book, "Inside the Bungalow - America's Arts & Crafts Interiors." The impressively-detailed living room with iron-spot brick fireplace, seat bench, desk and bookcases opens into the dining room, which boasts a triple window seat bench in the bay, full china cabinet and wood wainscoting with plate rails. There are two bathrooms, three bedrooms (the 3rd bedroom is a convertible den opening to the living room by a sliding pocket door), and a breakfast room/home office with wainscoting; that room opens to the rear covered porch and yard. The serene backyard features seating areas, a brick patio, a citrus tree, privacy fence, perimeter plantings, and a flat grassy area. The former garage now serves as a large extra storage space (and is an opportunity for a new owner to create a space tailored to their lifestyle needs). Property is a Contributor to the Jefferson Park Historic Preservation Overlay Zone (HPOZ). Great location: two short blocks to the new Jefferson Park branch of the South LA Cafe, and close to the many varied restaurants in West Adams, including Highly Likely, Cento, Mian, Johnny's West Adams, Alta Adams, Farmhouse Thai, Mizlala, Vicky's All Day, and popular stalwart Harold & Belle's.
