2607 Aiken Ave · Apartment for Rent

(310) 295-0555- Built by architect and shipbuilder Edmund Aiken, this spacious three bed, two bath Spanish style residence holds a distinctive connection to Cheviot Hills' history. A Himalayan cedar, one of the neighborhood's oldest trees, presides over the front garden, while a red tile roof, textured stucco, ornamental ironwork, and a carved wood entry introduce the home's architectural character. Inside, original oak floors and softly coved ceilings create a warm, inviting atmosphere. A gas fireplace anchors the living room, while the adjoining dining area welcomes natural light through tall windows. The kitchen balances warmth and function with granite countertops, a tumbled travertine backsplash, slate floors, and custom soft-close cabinetry. A Wolf range with an overhead pot filler and Sub-Zero refrigeration complement the space, while whole-house and reverse osmosis filtration provide doubly filtered alkaline drinking water and ice. Every bedroom includes a walk-in closet, with an additional cedar closet in the hallway. The primary bath offers a generous walk-in shower, dual vessel sinks, and warm travertine finishes. The second bathroom combines marble, copper, and slate for a complementary palette of natural materials. Double pane windows appear in every room, complemented by shades with top-down and bottom-up adjustment. Dimmable LED lighting and insulated exterior walls support energy efficiency. Updated copper plumbing, an alarm with armed security service, and a natural gas generator providing automatic backup power enhance daily living. A separate laundry room includes a efficiency washer and dryer on pedestals. Privacy hedges surround the grounds, where winding paths and tangerine and lemon trees create a sheltered garden setting. The broad branches overhead bring welcome shade and a sense of established tranquility. Tucked in total privacy, an oversized tiled courtyard offers an inviting setting for outdoor dinners and moments of retreat. A wood barrel hot tub completes the setting, offering a soothing place to soak and unwind. Within walking distance of Overland Avenue Elementary School, rated 10/10 on Great Schools, Cheviot Hills Recreation Center and Park, and Rancho Park Golf Club, the home offers convenient access to neighborhood favorites. A short walk from Food on Pico, John O' Groats, and Ludivine Paris Bakery, this residence places some of Cheviot Hills' most compelling destinations close to home.
