This meticulously restored, period-correct 1911 Craftsman is nestled in one of the most sought-after sections of Mission Hills’ Village neighborhood. Honored with Mills Act status, the home offers significant tax savings while preserving its rich historic character. The home was on the market last year when the owner chose to invest in a full structural restoration. Following six months of rigorous permitting and Historical Review Board oversight, the property has received an exceptional, museum-quality restoration. The foundation was repaired, the roof was completely rebuilt to exact original specifications using full-dimension lumber, and every detail was faithfully replicated with all wood rot meticulously eliminated throughout the structure. All windows have been fully reworked, reglazed, and restored to perfect working order. The exterior bricks have been repointed, and the chimney was rebuilt to precise historical standards. The grounds were landscaped with authentic period trees and plantings, and the fences fully rebuilt and extended to the sidewalk, creating authentic curb appeal and a seamless street presence. After this extensive renovation, the historic Mills Act plaque was proudly mounted. Step inside through the welcoming enclosed sunroom, where abundant windows and soaring ceilings set a warm, timeless tone. The open living and dining rooms are ideal for entertaining, featuring beautifully preserved built-in bookshelves, a built-in credenza, and a functioning wood-burning fireplace. The kitchen showcases authentic Craftsman/Mission-style cabinets that have been professionally repainted, complemented by handsome solid oak flooring with decorative inlays. Both bedrooms are bright and spacious, filled with natural light. A detached, new construction, one-car garage provides secure parking and generous additional storage. Located just blocks from first-tier restaurants, grocery stores, and boutique shops, this home represents a rare opportunity to own a turn-of-the-century Craftsman that has been brought back to its full historic glory through uncompromising attention to detail and quality craftsmanship.
