1654 Stearns Dr

Rarely do you see quality like this, where charm and care surround every turn. This 1934 Spanish oasis has been painstakingly remodeled, as the homeowners cared about every square inch of the renovation, overseen by architect Kevin Oreck (member of Phi Beta Kappa, the Society of Architectural Historians, and the Los Angeles Conservancy). Together they envisioned a home to build a life filled with beauty and quality for themselves.
