Welcome to Westwood Gardens, a development by the legendary Paul Trousdale, the visionary behind the world-renowned Trousdale Estates in Beverly Hills. In classic Trousdale fashion, this curated community of about 450 homes boasts lush, tree-lined sidewalks that are three feet wider than the typical residential standard. Utility poles are hidden in backyards, and underground wiring powers vintage street lamps. The result is a spacious, airy neighborhood reminiscent of a classic 1950s American Dream story. Situated on one of the largest lots in the development, 2706 Malcolm boasts an expansive frontage and setbacks from neighboring homes that are more than double the standard separation found in typical Los Angeles tracts. Combined with the property's west-southwest orientation, these wide gaps allow an abundance of natural light to pour into the home from the front, rear, and sides throughout the day. While the home maintains its traditional 1950s charm, it has been thoughtfully modernized for today's lifestyle. The kitchen and bathrooms have been recently updated, complemented by new balcony French doors and a seamless "Smart TV" setup with hidden cabling. Future-forward upgrades include a new automatic aluminum driveway gate and a dedicated electric vehicle charging outlet. The location is unparalleled, situated just down the street from the highly regarded Overland Elementary School and offering effortless access to the 10 and 405 freeways. For those who value a car-free lifestyle, the home provides quick access to the Metro Expo Line, offering direct rides to the sands of Santa Monica Beach or the cultural heart of Downtown LA. Looking toward the future, the property holds significant long-term investment potential. Due to its strategic location, it may be positively impacted by the passage of SB79 (Transit-Oriented Development), which could allow for the future development of multiple luxury condos on this oversized lot. 2706 Malcolm is a charming family sanctuary featuring a thoughtfully designed streetscape and investment potential that could far exceed market trends.
