timelessly restored French Tudor retreat overlooking the city

Welcome to the Angeles Vista Villa, your timelessly restored French Tudor retreat perched atop of a hilltop overlooking the city. Adorned with original clinker brick masonry and decorative half timbering and complemented by curated lush greenery, this home evokes a picturesque blend of old-world charm and sophisticated comfort as imagined by developer Crystal Carter and designer Ladarius Calhoun. Refreshed architectural details such as weatherproofed original windows delight the eyes complimented by carefully selected modern touches such as new copper gutters. Privacy ficuses frame the property, creating an intimate sense of seclusion. Step inside and be greeted by Emtek’s classic door levers in French Antique Brass and Forbes & Lomax aged brass switches, finishes that will develop a rich patina over time, hinting at the home’s rich history. Waterproof engineered hardwood flooring, ready for generations of wear and tear, flows seamlessly throughout, a testament to the home’s masterful blend of traditional and modern elements. Designer selected fixtures and frameless recessed lighting casts a warm glow on the meticulously restored architectural details, like the classic Tudor-style archways, highlighting the home’s ageless beauty.

The entry foyer boasts marble checkered floors and raised trim work paneling, foreshadowing the curated design awaiting you inside. Let the view of jacaranda blossoms through original stained glass windows inspire your most creative ideas as you work from the cozy living room. Original built-ins with gorgeous curves and refinished millwork offer the perfect display for your book collection. Get comfy and warm your toes under a custom chandelier in front of the Travertine fireplace framed by archways that lead to the kitchen and dining. The functional floor plan boasts well appointed, sunlit spaces throughout for you to spread out in, spaces meant to be enjoyed and lived in. Original Tudor-style vaulted ceilings and a custom raw brass chandelier dazzle overhead in the dining room. Watch the sun dance on the table through the panes of original windows as golden hour arrives. Enjoy the pleasures of indoor-outdoor flow with the accordion doors opened to the patio, the perfect place to dine al fresco on warm summer evenings. The kitchen is a chef’s dream, offering an aesthetic and functional space to revive those classic family recipes. Bianco Carrara marble countertops gleam alongside the contrasting leathered Negresco granite island. Polished brass fixtures and top-of-the-line appliances, including an Ilve Nostalgie gas range and custom venetian plaster hood, create a space as beautiful as it is functional. Custom cabinetry with integrated appliances and hidden storage solutions ensure a clutter-free haven for culinary creativity.
