Description
One of the few homes in Echo Park with views of the Hollywood sign and the Griffith Observatory, this Craftsman home has more than meets the eye. Overflowing with light, charm, original details, and in one of Los Angeles' oldest neighborhoods, it was built in 1907, but made for modern living. From the street, it appears to be a 2-story home: with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms upstairs, and a den, powder room, living room, kitchen, dining room and breakfast nook on the main level. But wait! It's actually built into a hill and has an additional living suite on its lower level! Originally a duplex, the lower garden suite's living area flows out to the back yard. It also has the 4th bedroom with en-suite bathroom, an office (with its own exterior door), laundry room (with additional refrigerator) and storage closets. There's even room to create a 5th bedroom if desired. This home has been meticulously restored where possible, including rehabilitating the existing original wood windows, solid wood doors, classic tiles, and clawfoot tubs, and renovated where needed: the floors have been leveled and replaced with real oak, new dual zone HVAC systems, copper pipes, and a new sewer line. The result is a very livable home for the very modern lifestyle. If you are not familiar with Angelino Heights HPOZ, it is a magical neighborhood; close-knit, diverse, and talented community, with a high walkability score. Echo Park Lake is around the corner, as are Lassen's, a weekly farmer's market, and several hot spot bars and restaurants. Come see why people who move here, rarely ever want to leave.
