Tucked into the foothills of Mt. Washington, 1942 Kemper seamlessly blends mid-century elegance and chic cabin vibes into a magical 2 bed+ office / 1.5 bath refuge in one of Los Angeles's most sought-after neighborhoods. From the front door, find yourself in a living room where rich wood-paneled walls accent bright beamed ceilings and enormous picture windows bathe the home in natural light. Gleaming engineered oak wood floors tie together a home that has been thoughtfully and lovingly redesigned by its current owners as a creative sanctuary. The fully remodeled kitchen is both spacious and serene, with stainless steel appliances, butcher block countertops + floating shelves, elegant shaker cabinetry, and verdant tile that reflects the lush garden outside the greenhouse window. The pine-paneled formal dining room is the home's heart and harbors a truly incredible secret (and perhaps a childhood dream of yours come to life): the custom-built bookcase is not just a bookcase, but a *secret door* to a sizable office, nursery, or creative space! Head outside and find an enchanting two-tiered garden escape, where mature plants engender a sense of privacy and calm. Dine with friends while taking in expansive views of the Elysian hills (jaw-dropping at golden hour) or mix up some drinks at your very own tropical-inspired bar, perfect for entertaining! The home is as functional as it is beautiful, and boasts a newer eco-smart cool roof + gutters, newer HVAC system, tankless water heater, areas with new in-wall insulation, gated carport with large shed + pegboard storage, four parking spots, and more. Moments away from hot spots like Little Barn, Loquat, and Barra Santos, 1942 Kemper is a rare gem - the best of indoor/outdoor living in the heart of Northeast LA!

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
