5924 Wooster Avenue

First time on the market in decades, this Ladera Heights mid-century home features a classic kidney-shaped pool and the kind of bones that serious buyers recognize immediately. The heart of the home is the family room; floor-to-ceiling wood-paneled walls, exposed beam ceilings, hardwood floors, and a brick fireplace create a warm, character-rich space that showcases the craftsmanship and scale of the era. A separate formal living room with its own stone fireplace and sliding doors opening directly to the pool provides a second distinct gathering space, while a decorative mid-century partition adds an authentic architectural touch. The spacious eat-in kitchen features abundant wood cabinetry, a breakfast bar, and dual exposures with neighborhood views; a functional layout ready for a full remodel or simply a refresh. Three generously sized bedrooms include a primary suite with a flex sitting area and private exterior access. Two and a half bathrooms, central HVAC, and ample storage complete the floor plan. Outside, a large patio and expansive grassy yard surround the pool, framed by mature hedging for privacy, a proper Southern California backyard. A wide paver driveway and two-car garage round out the package. Minutes from Playa Vista, Marina del Rey, Westfield Culver City, Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, and the 405--at the center of the Westside's best.
