1100 S Grandridge Avenue

Nestled behind a veil of mature native greenery, this Mid-Century Modern ranch embodies the quiet sophistication of California's postwar design, where architecture and landscape exist in effortless dialogue. Thoughtfully restored to honor its original intent, the home balances authentic period character with a timeless refresh that feels both contemporary and enduring. At its heart, the kitchen celebrates the era's devotion to material integrity and craftsmanship, featuring a custom-fabricated " solid stainless-steel countertop, Elica appliances, and Reform cabinetry. Terrazzo tile extends throughout the home, providing visual cohesion and textural warmth, while glass sliding doors in both the living room and a bedroom open directly to the pool terrace, blurring the line between indoors and out. Outdoors, the residence reveals its tranquil rhythm: a private, bamboo-filled oasis anchored by a generous lap-sized pool, patio, and sauna nestled among California natives, complete with a private outdoor shower. The terraced hillside is planted with orange, lemon, avocado, kumquat, loquat, Pakistani mulberry, fig, and guava trees. A pathway leads to an upper terrace, ideal for sunset lounging, gardening, or creative retreat. The front garden, shaded by a mature mesquite, Desert Museum Palo Verdes, and another large fig, completes the home's connection to nature. Located within a neighborhood served by high-rated schools, this serene pocket of Monterey Hills offers proximity to DTLA, Pasadena, Highland Park, and Silver Lake, all within 15-20 minutes. Beyond your door, Monterey Park's acclaimed culinary scene beckons, its "Where to Eat" guide celebrating the city's diverse Asian, American, and Latin offerings, along with nearby recreation at Edison Trails Park and Barnes Park.
