Agent Remarks

Mid-Century Style, City Views, and Room to Dream Bigger in Upper Briggs Terrace. This home seamlessly blends privacy, style, and long-term potential on a beautifully landscaped lot filled with mature fruit trees, including grapefruit, lemon, dragon fruit, and pear, as well as blooming roses and drought-tolerant plants. Fire-smart setbacks and natural elevation offer added peace of mind. Significant upgrades include a wholly owned and transferable solar system, a money-conscious upgrade considering proposed Edison rate increases. Updated Renewal by Andersen windows and sliders throughout, and a light-filled, indoor-outdoor layout ideal for everyday living and entertaining. The step-down living room, with its classic flagstone fireplace and oversized transom windows, frames stunning views of downtown Los Angeles and Catalina. In 1996, a thoughtfully designed front expansion added a spacious kitchen, an optional 4th bedroom used as an office, and a 525 sq. ft. garage. The addition was structurally built to support a second story, allowing future owners to expand upward. Alternatively, converting part or all of the garage to additional living space would be a reasonably simple task, enabling this 2100+ square foot home to be transformed into a 2600+ square foot home. The backyard features a saltwater pool, several private patios, and spectacular downtown city views. And for added fire safety, a fire-prep hose is ready to use the pool water. Storage is plentiful, with two side-yard sheds, a pool equipment room, and ample attic space in the garage. Stylish, upgraded, and packed with flexibility, this home offers comfort today and exciting possibilities for tomorrow.
