2489 Wellesley Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90064

Description

Located on the Santa Monica border, without the Santa Monica price tag. This bright, cheerful 3-bedroom, 2-bath home tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac is the kind of place families fall in love with; completely turn-key, thoughtfully updated, and designed for real life. Inside, the open layout does what a great family home should - it draws everyone together. Hardwood floors flow throughout, a cozy fireplace anchors the living room, and the sun-drenched bay-window dining area is exactly the kind of spot where homework happens, dinners stretch long, and weekends unwind in the best way. The updated kitchen has everything a home chef could want - generous cabinetry, a separate pantry, stainless steel appliances, and a built-in Thermador refrigerator. The primary suite is a true escape. The fully renovated bathroom features dual sinks, quartz counters, a walk-in shower, and a deep jet soaking tub. French doors open directly to the backyard, making the transition from morning coffee to evening unwind completely effortless. And the backyard is the soul of this home. Reimagined from the ground up, it's a private outdoor world of its own: a fire pit lounge with built-in seating, a large patio made for dining al fresco on long summer nights, fresh turf underfoot, string lights overhead, and tall bamboo and hedges that wrap the whole space in seclusion. On the right night, the garage wall becomes an open-air movie screen. Kids, dogs, dinner parties, movie nights under the stars - this yard is here for it. The detached garage got the full treatment too: drywalled, epoxy floors, soaring vaulted ceiling, endless storage, and a projector screen. Gym, workshop, game-day headquarters, or simply the best garage on the block. Central A/C and heat, newer electrical, plumbing, and dual-paned windows throughout. Minutes to the beach, great restaurants, and everything you love about living on the Westside. Welcome home.
