Description

Perfectly perched in the historic Hollywood Heights neighborhood, this 1923 charmer offers panoramic city views from the front porch and blends timeless character with a minimalist European vibe. Tucked behind a private gate and surrounded by lush ivy-covered fencing, this California Bungalow feels like an incredible hidden retreat. Crisp whitewashed walls, blooming bougainvillea, and soft sage exterior trim evoke the feel of Santorini, right here in the heart of L.A. Inside, the adorable 2-bedroom, 1-bath home featuring original hardwood floors and fresh interior and exterior paint is exquisitely anchored by a decorative fireplace with rare Batchelder tile. The vintage kitchen adds authentic charm, while the stunningly updated bathroom offers a serene retreat with black slate tile, a built-in vanity area, and a spacious shower/tub combo - both stylish and soothing. French doors from the second bedroom open directly to the terraced backyard, and the kitchen also connects seamlessly to the outdoor space - ideal for al fresco dining, entertaining, or simply enjoying the hillside breeze. Brand-new mini-split systems provide efficient heating and cooling, complemented by a new tankless water heater, stacked washer and dryer, and updated light fixtures throughout. The front porch frames magical sweeping city views, while the private backyard offers a tranquil outdoor escape. A generous bonus space beneath the home offers endless potential for an art studio, home office, or simply additional storage. This home also offers direct access to the neighborhood's iconic secret staircase leading to the famed High Tower Elevator, a piece of L.A. lore tucked away from the crowds. Homes in this unique enclave were originally built around the tower, and its architectural legacy continues to shape the charm and community of the area today. Perfectly located near the Hollywood Bowl, Hollywood Roosevelt, Metro Red Line, major studios, and many of L.A.'s top destination restaurants - including Jemma, Ka'teen, Lemon Grove, Mother Wolf, Musso & Frank Grill, and Udatsu - this is classic Hollywood living with global soul.
