Description

Tucked along one of Kentwood's most coveted streets, this thoughtfully reimagined cottage offers a beautiful balance of original character and modern sensibility, preserved with care and elevated through a meticulous two-year renovation. Behind a freshly painted white picket fence and manicured hedges, the residence welcomes you with arched doorways, original hardwood floors warmed by time, an interior bathed in the soft, diffused light. At the heart of the home, a designer kitchen anchors daily life with quiet sophistication. Calacatta marble countertops meet a custom backsplash and brass hardware, while terracotta tile, laid in a herringbone pattern, grounds the space in old-world warmth. Handmade deVOL light fixtures from England cast a glow over custom cabinetry and an integrated coffee bar, the kind of details rarely found at this scale. Adjacent living and dining spaces flow openly, framed by plantation shutters and finished in a palette of soft whites and natural wood. The primary suite offers a serene retreat with a newly remodeled spa-inspired bath, while additional bedrooms are flooded with natural light and finished with the same considered hand. Outdoors, the property transforms into a private garden sanctuary: an expansive entertaining deck with a pass-through marble kitchen window, mature privacy hedges, and a curated landscape featuring a cherry blossom tree, pomelo tree, grape vine, and herb garden. A fully permitted and redesigned ADU — complete with its own kitchen, bath, and custom finishes that mirror the main residence, offers exceptional flexibility for guests, creative work, or generational living. Just east of Kentwood's tree-lined heart, the home sits within a community known for its village-like feel, walkable streets, and proximity to the beaches of the South Bay, Silicon Beach, and LAX. It is a rare offering — a home where every surface has been considered, every detail intentional, and where the rhythms of California living are met with uncommon craft
