3645 Latrobe St, Los Angeles, CA 90031

Montecito Heights is a hillside community where neighbors look out for one another, a short walk to the Audubon Center in Debs Park, a couple miles from hip Highland Park, 15 minutes to downtown LA, and a million miles from the stresses of urban living. Latrobe is a private street with spectacular views and no through traffic, ideal for kids and dogs. This vintage Mid-Century Modern home is a diamond in the rough, preserved in time and ready for a new artistic vision. Outside, two majestic palm trees stand guard and the original façade remains intact, with vertical wood siding and horizontal brick veneer, evocative of Palm Springs. Inside, an open plan connects living, dining and kitchen, and large sliding doors open to outdoor decks, terraces and courtyards all around. Classic details and an iconic metal fireplace give this home character, and a converted garage doubles as music room and secondary living area. With TLC, this home will be ready for the pages of Dwell!
