3407 Huxley Street #39

Of all the words and phrases we borrow from French, from voilà to faux pas, one of the greatest is pied-à-terre, which quite literally means “a foot on the ground.” It isn't quite a house, and certainly not a hotel. It is simply your own little place to land, a comfortable, private retreat to return to whenever you happen to be passing through, be it for a night, a month, or a couple of years. And if Los Angeles happens to be where you're passing through, this might just be your place. Welcome to Huxley #39, a beautifully updated one-bedroom, one-bathroom condominium in the very heart of Los Feliz. Set on the top floor, this light-filled home combines modern updates with the kind of location and ease that make a great pied-à-terre a great home.
The spacious living room opens onto a generous private balcony with sweeping views of the Verdugo Mountains and Los Feliz Boulevard, a perfect spot for morning coffee, an evening glass of wine, or simply watching the neighborhood go by. Inside, the home features new flooring, high-efficiency LED recessed lighting, and a redesigned kitchen with stainless steel appliances and brand-new countertops. The building offers some of the lowest HOA fees in the area, with utilities, building maintenance, and insurance included. Recent building improvements include high-efficiency, noise-reducing double-pane windows, copper plumbing, and a brand-new roof. The home also includes a designated garage parking space and private storage.
And then there's the location... Griffith Park's incomparable trails are just a three-minute walk away, while the Vermont Tennis Courts and Griffith Park Golf Course are close at hand. Walk a little farther and you'll find the bon vivant restaurants, brasseries, coffee shops, bookstores, and boutiques that make Los Feliz one of Los Angeles's most beloved and chic neighborhoods. Hillhurst and Vermont Avenues are right around the corner, while the I-5 and Los Feliz Boulevard put Glendale, Pasadena, Downtown, the Valley, and Hollywood all within easy reach. There is a certain je ne sais quoi about living in a place like this: close enough to everything, yet tucked away enough to feel like its own little world. So take carte blanche of this beautiful condo and make it your Los Angeles home, your retreat, your little hideaway, or simply, your own little pied-à-terre in Los Feliz. And and voilà, just like that, you could be living in one of the city's most charming neighborhoods.
