:: The Nicholson Residence, 1955 :: On the foot of Baldwin Hills, comfortably overlooking cinematic views of Los Angeles, is 4220 Hillcrest, the proud payoff of a rare and precise Mid Century restoration by the current owners. Restored original slate entry greets visitors and leads to a large, step down living room with new oversized windows, commanding views of LA, impressive natural light and a double sided brick fireplace. New, throwback style linoleum floors and revived white maple wooden wall panelling infuse a razor sharp vintage feel into the space, and end feature large sliding glass doors into the backyard. A rare breakfast bar and passthrough introduce one to the restored kitchen and eating area. Formica counters, restored authentic cabinetry, a classic gas 1955 Western Holly oven and induction cooktop allow for classic looks with 2025 functionality. Off the kitchen is a large, newly remodeled bathroom and laundry area with backyard access, designed for guest access into the backyard when hosting parties. Smartly designed by the original owner, the entertaining spaces are separated from the resting spaces. Down a long, bamboo floor laced hallway and a large set of built in storage cabinets are 2 bedrooms, a large bathroom and office. The broad 2nd, bathroom features a rain shower with vast views of our great city, a Brasilia wood vanity with a 1950s vintage sink. The large primary has convenient backyard access, a second bedroom and quaint office with built in desk are ideal for guests and work from home. A long, completely privatized backyard with a long pergola has hosted parties with 50+ people. Systems and aditional upgrades include a new roof, sewer line upgrades, central HVAC, new water heater, new windows and sliding doors and more. The home also has a 2 car garage with interior access and EV charger. Minutes from local favorites such as Hilltop coffee, Jon & Vinny's Somerville and West Adams restaurant row. Centrally located to LAX, DTLA, the Westside and Hollywood. A incredibly rare restoration at a reasonable price point.
