If you know me, you know I love a Craftsman. Sure, I go through love affairs with Spanish Colonials and Mid-century Moderns, but I loyally always return to my first love. The breathtaking beauty of this restored California Craftsman is unmatched.
On a quiet tree-lined street in Highland Park, 5346 Aldama is perched on a huge 14,147 square foot hillside lot. 14,147! In Ohio, where I’m originally from, that lot size may be de rigueur, but in Los Angeles it’s exceptional. From the spectacular spacious front porch this four bedroom, four bathroom home only gets more impressive.
Inside you’ll notice the magnificent restorations throughout: Douglas fir wood windows, oil rubbed bronze fixtures, custom made wood built-ins, polished hardwood floors, tiled fireplace, and grand coffered ceilings.
Next to the living room is the large dining room. The table in this photo may be four, but you could easily fit a dinner table for eight.
The inspired cook’s kitchen features marquina marble countertops, professional grade appliances, and custom cabinetry.
There’s also easy outdoor access from the kitchen, creating a breezy and open feeling of classic California indoor/outdoor living.
The home boasts four bedrooms, one downstairs that could be used as an office, guest bedroom, or artist’s studio, and three upstairs.
Each bedroom is large and has great views, bright light, and closet space.
In Craftsmans in this area you’re lucky to get two bathrooms. This home has four. Each has been remodeled with period tiles and claw foot tubs.
The home has been fully upgraded: New copper plumbing, electrical rewire/panel, HVAC, majority of foundation, 2 tankless water heaters, drainage, and a new sewer line up to the city connection.
A large private patio offers gorgeous views of Highland Park.
And there’s outside. As mentioned above, 5346 Aldama is perched on a huge lot. Dogs and children alike will be fascinated by exploring the outdoor space, which is filled with trees and drought tolerant landscaping.
Located right in between York Boulevard and Figueroa Street, it’s the best of both worlds in the burgeoning Highland Park neighborhood near shops, restaurants, bars, galleries, and more.
