5209 VALLEY RIDGE AVE View Park, CA 90043

Did you just wake up in your Palm Springs dream house, or are you really in the middle of LA? This is the indoor/outdoor flow that everyone wants, wrapped into a spacious, bright midcentury home. Wide open glass doors (16 feet wide!) stream light into the home, while connecting you with the nature beyond. It makes you feel like you're on vacation, every day. The outdoor patio that connects the kitchen and dining areas to the outside feels like an ultra private courtyard, a hallmark of the great midcentury homes. The stunningly landscaped backyard has been curated over time, with multiple thoughtful areas to enjoy. Dining. Seating. Entertaining. Quiet cloud-gazing in the hammock, listening to the wind rush through the trees of the lush avocado tree. You can have it all. Streamlined 1945 midcentury lines, warmed up with tasteful woods and updated style. Every inch of this home was lovingly curated by the current owners, restoring it to its historical glory and beyond. Gourmet kitchen designed by a pastry chef, with a professional Thermador stove and gleaming Viking fridge. Vaulted ceilings. 9 foot island perfect for preparing meals or serving a buffet to your friends gathered just beyond in the outdoor dining area. Separate butler's pantry features your coffee bar and those extra appliances for convenience. Laundry just beyond. Back in the main bedroom wing, you have a gorgeously remodeled bathroom with a relaxing deep tub and beautiful shower with a fun tile accent wall. The main bedroom features another glass door to the outside and ample closet space. The 3rd bedroom is set on the other side of the home, and features vaulted ceilings and a walkout to a private side patio - the perfect work-from-home space. The double-height garage offers an opportunity to explore expanding this gorgeous home, with another bedroom or ADU. Outside, you have space to finally invest in that fun weekend vintage car, with up to 7 parking spaces in the garage, gated parking space and driveway. Welcome to the undulating hills and winding streets of View Park. The rustling of the palm trees in the distance sounds like the ocean, which is a convenient 14 minute drive away on a leisurely weekend morning. Tree-lined Monteith Park is a short stroll away. This amazing location feels like you live in a secluded neighborhood, while in fact being close to fun local businesses - equally close to both bustling Leimert Park and the art deco low rise shops on Slauson and Angeles Vista. Visit Puerto Nuevo for a weekday diner breakfast with a friend. Need a coffee break? Hilltop coffee has some of the best coffee in the city, and don't forget their fresh beignets!
