A reimagined midcentury retreat by Design Assembly in Montecito Heights

A reimagined midcentury retreat by Design Assembly in Montecito Heights. There is a lightness and sense of place at 3767 Latrobe; the very livable interiors have been designed to evoke a type of everyday elegance that unites the home with ease. Through the landscaped entry pathway and cheery Dutch front door, the French country inspired kitchen features patinated brass fixtures, honed Calacatta marble and top-of-the-line appliances. A double height dining patio off the kitchen is the perfect intimate gathering space. Below exposed beam ceilings, the living and dining area with large balcony offers romantic hillside views. As the sun dials around to the west, take in magic hour through a grove of giant pepper and eucalyptus trees, sunlight weaving through their swaying boughs. A full bath with vintage claw foot tub plus detach laundry area complete the main level. Bleached white oak flooring flows to the custom solid ash wood staircase below a glowing paper lantern fixture. Upstairs, the primary bedroom with terracotta flooring offers direct access to the large bathroom with dual sink marble vanity. Two additional bedrooms open to the upper balcony with lovely green views. The large garage lends itself well as an additional creative space at home. Life on Latrobe offers quick access to nature- just around the corner is a trailhead into Earnest E. Debs Park and Peanut Lake, and 5 minutes down the road is Highland Park's chic Figueroa Blvd. with Cookbook, Cafe Birdie, Good Housekeeping, GGET, and more. A home - and lifestyle - that must be experienced in person.
