Some homes you walk into and immediately feel something, 3300 Thelma Ave is one of them. Tucked into the hills of El Sereno, this 1939 Spanish home sits proudly on a corner lot with beautiful hill views and the kind of character you simply can’t recreate. From the Spanish tile roof and smooth stucco to the original hardwood floors and detailed ceilings, so much of what makes this home special was worth holding onto. Inside, old and new come together in a way that feels warm, collected and intentional. Inside, coffered ceilings make this home magical and take you back in history. Rich Custom cabinetry, quartz stone, beautiful lighting and a thoughtfully designed kitchen bring a fresh perspective to the home, while the remodeled bath is its own little moment with Spanish tile and designer fixtures. But this home is about more than the details. It’s about how it feels. Peaceful in the morning. Warm when the light comes through. A place to open the doors, put on some music and have the people you love over. Friends and family will admire every corner of this special designed Modern Spanish Dream. Even the oversized garage was imagined differently. Its large bifold door opens completely, turning it into an unexpected space for long-table dinners, celebrations or evenings with friends. A basement adds extra storage or flex space, while central AC and heat and a tankless water heater bring the everyday comforts of today. Minutes from Huntington Drive, yet tucked away enough to feel like your own little escape. This is a home with history, warmth and another story waiting to be written. We welcome you to take a tour, this one is a beauty.
