This is is one of the best example of craftsman-style home I have shot recently. Set on a quarter-acre lot, this 2,960-square-foot residence — designed by noted builder B. Marshall Wotkyns in 1911 and updated — has four bedrooms and a loft, three bathrooms and loads of character.

Hammered copper pendant lights, art glass and several built-ins contribute to the home’s Arts and Crafts aesthetic that dominates the residential district, listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The only other area like it in California is in the city of Berkeley.

Inside the house on South Grand Avenue is a large living room. It features an inglenook fireplace decorated with tile and flanked by benches. French doors in the living room and neighboring den open to the porch.

The flowing sound of water from a recirculating stream near the rebuilt front door fills the air.

Deeper in the home, a built-in breakfast nook occupies a corner of the kitchen that was remodeled 13 years ago by Martin Eli Weil, a top restoration architect and founding member of the Los Angeles Conservancy. He died in 2009 at 68.
