About 3479 Westmount Avenue
Perched within the desirable pocket of Historic View Park, the Iven Fon Rousey Residence isn't just a house it's a meticulously revived place of sanctuary. The previous owner respected the skillfully constructed architecture and passionately poured his time into a restoration that can only be described as masterful. Originally developed by Iven Fon Rousey, a builder whose touch graced many of View Park's most coveted homes, this 3bed/3bath dwelling is a delightful nod to the highly sought-after Steinkamp style of its era. From the moment you arrive, the mature verdant landscaping draws your eyes, inviting you to explore the paved path ahead. Playful ornamental ironwork frames an arched entryway, complemented by the detailed plasterwork of the porte-cochere. It's an entrance that transports you to another era, whispering tales of timeless elegance. Inside, the sensible floorplan boasts well appointed rooms throughout and a flow that perfectly suits modern needs. Enjoy privacy in the spacious bedroom suites, tucked down their own corridor away from the living space. Original stenciled ceiling beams stretch across the grand living room, where an arched picture window frames the outside world like a living painting. An original molten glazed fireplace beckons you to cozy up and enjoy lazy days at home, indulging in your latest read while bathing beneath streams of sunlight. The kitchen is a culinary haven featuring custom quarter-sawn white oak cabinets, sleek soapstone counters, a copper sink, and hand poured tiles beneath a graceful coved ceiling. Original details have been lovingly preserved throughout such as rich wooden floors and windows, charming bathroom tiles and classic stained built-ins. Savor early mornings in the breakfast nook under reclaimed beams and honey comb plaster ceilings it's the perfect place to enjoy the quiet before the world awakens. Enjoy peace of mind with updated systems including central heat and AC, newer waste-lines + copper piping, an updated electrical panel, a newer roof, and copper gutters. This is more than a home; it's an invitation to live within a legacy and a rare opportunity to own a piece of history thoughtfully reimagined for modern living. Discover the joys of a surprisingly central location that offers easy access to many pockets of LA such as Culver City, West Adams, Inglewood and Santa Monica. Grab a bite + a coffee at Hilltop Cafe, or celebrate your successes with a night cap at Somerville. House made pasta is never a bad idea at the hottest local Italian spots (cue Jon + Vinny's and Sunday Gravy!) With Kenneth Hahn Park and its trails just over the hill, lunch time hikes just might be an option when you WFH.
