This property review is for the Spanish home at 2244 Manning Ave LA CA 90064. First off I would like to say this is my favorite house on the market right now in Westwood. Top to bottom I love everything about it. Starting with the front, the home has excellent curb appeal with a beautifully landscaped front yard and entry courtyard. You enter the house right into the living room area. Like the rest of the first floor you have high ceilings in the living room with wood beams across the ceiling. I would have liked to see the wood beams stained a natural wood color to give off some more Spanish character, but you can’t always be too picky. Connected to the living room is a rather large office or library with some built in bookshelves. If one needed an extra bedroom, this could probley be converted into a bedroom instead of an office/library space. Before you hit the kitchen, there is a dining room that is sectioned off. Like the living room, the dining room has a slightly barreled ceiling with wood beams going across. Again I would have liked to see the beams a natural wood color. Next we enter into the gourmet kitchen that is open right into the family room/den area. The kitchen has newer cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and granite countertops. It also features a breakfast bar that can seat four comfortably. The kitchen flows into the family room area which is very spacious. Additionally, there is one bedroom downstairs and one bath. Sliding doors open from the family/den room into the backyard. The backyard features a lovely pool and spa with several water fountains spilling into the pool. You also have another area, perfect for outside dining. Also in the backyard is the garage which has been converted into a bonus/guesthouse. The finished off guesthouse has a bathroom and mini kitchen area. Going back into the house, upstairs we have the master suite and an additional bedroom. The master suite has vaulted ceilings, a large walk-in closet, and a little outside deck sitting area. The master bath has been nicely done with slate and has dual sinks, separate shower and tub. Overall, I really like the spacious feeling of the house with the high ceilings throughout the home. The rooms are all very spacious and the house has great flow. The asking price for the home is $1,595,000 and I think it will sell fairly quickly.
