North of Wilshire Sophistication. A Townhome that Lives Like a Private Residence. Walk into a bright living space where hardwood floors stretch throughout and recessed lighting sets the mood from morning coffee to late-night Netflix. Skylights welcome natural light, adding to the sense of warmth and ease. The kitchen and baths have been thoughtfully updated, blending modern finishes with timeless appeal. Caesarstone counters and stainless-steel appliances offer everyday functionality, while the refreshed powder, guest, and primary baths carry a classic elegance that feels both fresh and familiar. Comfort comes built in. The HVAC upgrade keeps summers cool and winters cozy, while a smart thermostat ensures just-right settings year-round. A tankless water heater means long showers are not a negotiation. Security and privacy are elevated with an updated alarm system and secured gated entry for owners. The two-car private garage provides direct entry to the unit. Groceries go straight from trunk to pantry in under a minute. Throughout, the home has been pristinely maintained by its owner, reflecting the care and attention that make it truly stand out. A rare North of Wilshire offering, this townhome captures the best of both worlds: the warmth and character of a traditional home, with thoughtful upgrades for modern living.
