5732 Brushton Street

1952 midcentury cool and panoramic views, with a little rat pack swagger. Some houses have it. This one has it in spades. Set against a backdrop of gorgeous hillside views, this midcentury charmer balances original character with thoughtful updates. Gorgeous diamond-pane windows, original moldings and lighting, and a seriously cool 1950s entryway screen and planter set the tone from the start. The moody dining room features a fireplace and original built-ins, while the thoughtfully updated kitchen offers a dedicated bar area and walk-in pantry. Then there's the den: pure Sinatra energy, complete with its original boomerang bar, rock wall, vintage lighting, and a wall of original built-ins. Cocktail hour, anyone? The primary suite turns up the glamour with a gorgeous wood-paneled feature wall, beamed ceilings, and an updated ensuite bath featuring playful terrazzo and Heath tile. An office nook with Hollywood Hills views offers a dreamy place to work, read, or potentially create a fourth bedroom. Outside, the terraced backyard is made for California living, with a wood-paneled hot tub, covered pergola, wood deck and fruit trees (lemon, lime, pomegranate and apple!). A hillside swingset adds a little wistful nostalgia, while a built-in wood bench at the top of the hill delivers views all the way to the Hollywood Sign and Griffith Observatory. Think golden sunsets, a cozy cup of tea under the stars, and dinners that linger. Behind the home, a lush, verdant hillside creates a stunning natural backdrop, beautifully restored with professionally engineered erosion control. Updated electrical, plumbing, roof, patio doors, refinished oak hardwood floors, central heat and air, and a spacious garage with an updated door bring modern comfort to the vintage soul.And then there's Baldwin Vista. This welcoming, diverse and architecturally rich midcentury neighborhood offers direct gated access to 400-acre Kenneth Hahn Park, with miles of trails, a set of exercise steps and sweeping city views, plus the lush greenery of historic Village Green nearby - 68 acres of trees! The Park to Playa Trail offers a 13-mile adventure toward the Pacific. You're also just minutes from the heart of Culver City - ready to enjoy The Culver Steps with Erewhon, Laurel Grill, Yunomi Handrolls and Salt 'n Straw, Destroyer for a fun brunch, Vespertine for a special dinner, Hi-Lo Liquor, Cognoscenti Coffee, and so much more.

Or take the train to Santa Monica, downtown, or Sofi Stadium and all the entertainment venues in Inglewood, plus soon, to LAX - two metro lines are just moments away. Vintage soul. Modern comfort. Just the right amount of swagger. And a backyard that might make you forget you ever had plans elsewhere.
