About this property
INCENTIVES AVAILABLE. CALL FOR MORE INFO. Let's make a deal happen on this beautiful home. Welcome to 4243 Don Carlos Drive. A meticulously designed 4 bed, 3 bath residence in the heart of Baldwin Hills, where every room frames an iconic Los Angeles view. From the Downtown skyline to the Hollywood Sign, the Santa Monica Mountains to the twinkling expanse of city lights below. The scenery shifts with the light throughout the day and never gets old. This is the kind of home that reminds you why you chose this city and makes it hard to leave.The primary en-suite is in a class of its own. It opens to a generous balcony with unobstructed rolling hill views that stretch as far as the eye can see. This is the kind of room you settle into at sunrise and still don't want to leave by sunset. The secondary bedroom balcony looks out over the city lights, offering a quieter, equally compelling perspective. At night, with Los Angeles lit up below you, both balconies feel like the best seat in the house.The bathrooms were designed with the same intentionality as the rest of the home, and it shows. The primary bath is a true sanctuary. Brizo Luxe Gold Odin collection wall-mounted faucets, showerheads, and pull handles on all custom cabinetry bring a warmth and refinement that feels boutique hotel without trying too hard. Statuario Trevi quartz countertops run throughout, adding a crisp, marble-like elegance that ties every surface together. A custom vanity anchors the space, while an Arhaus chandelier overhead gives the room a glow that transforms a routine morning into something worth slowing down for. Mitzi vanity lighting and CB2 and Crate & Barrel mirrors finish each bathroom thoughtfully. Every fixture chosen with purpose, nothing left to chance.The kitchen is the standout. Custom Rift White Oak cabinets, Statuario Trevi quartz countertops, brand-new stainless steel Monogram appliances, and a sleek hood vent everything was done right and built to last. Engineer wood oak flooring runs throughout, and the custom staircase railings with Rift White Oak handrails tie seamlessly into the kitchen and flooring. Arhaus chandeliers in the entryway add a layer of luxury that feels considered rather than decorative.Outside, the home truly comes alive. The renovated front patio sets the tone immediately natural stone tile underfoot, Crate & Barrel exterior fixtures casting warm light, and that sweeping LA backdrop doing the rest. The backyard is fully enclosed with a new wooden fence, creating a private outdoor sanctuary that feels removed from the city even though you're right in the middle of it. Whether you're hosting an intimate dinner under the open sky, enjoying a quiet morning with coffee and hill views, or simply unwinding as the city lights come on below. This outdoor space delivers every time.The auxiliary structure adds another dimension to the property a private office, creative studio, gym, or personal retreat completely separate from the main house. It's the kind of space that becomes whatever you need it to be.Two Tesla Solar charging ports round out a property built with the long game in mind. All-new interior doors throughout. Every detail was considered.4243 Don Carlos is the kind of home that inspires you to be more present and reach for more.
