If you're looking for a slice of that Palm Springs vibe in the city, come take a drive down Easy Street to Arroyo View Estates. Tucked between South Pasadena and San Rafael Hills and known originally as home of players from the Dodgers and the Rams this modern Highland Park neighborhood has been attracting residents interested in mid-century architecture and design for decades.

Restored practically from top to bottom the residence has been taken care of with exquisite craftsmanship and thoughtful finishes. The bright and spacious entryway is finished with Spanish terrazzo tile which transitions seamlessly to white oak flooring. The kitchen comes equipped with high end Italian appliances from Bertazzoni, custom walnut cabinets and a generous custom breakfast nook walnut bench with built in storage. The dining room features grasscloth wallpaper and a Herman Miller pendant light and opens up onto the private back yard.

The structure has been taken down practically to the studs to install energy efficient upgrades such as new insulation, windows, doors and HVAC systems. Palo Verde stone on the fireplace as well as the original wood siding and screens have been refinished to preserve the vintage feel in the living room as well as the primary bedroom, which has a period appropriate screened vanity area. Second floor includes another private suite with a custom bathroom trimmed with walnut accents and a striking dark wallpaper. From here you can enjoy views of the DTLA skyline.

Take a drive to Arroyo View Estates to visit this spacious and modern home, your perfect base for everything else Highland Park and surrounding areas have to offer.
