Description

Tucked behind gates and mature greenery, this beautifully renovated, 1920s Spanish bungalow captures the essence of California indoor-outdoor living. Warm and full of character, the home honors its original architecture while still feeling fresh and rooted in the present. Inside, an airy living and dining space leads to a reimagined kitchen with quartz countertops, stainless-steel appliances, gas range and an 18-bottle, built-in wine fridge. Two bedrooms share a walk-in closet and updated Jack-and-Jill bath. Mini-split heating and air conditioning provide year-round comfort in every room, while a separate utility room with full-sized, stackable washer/dryer and ample outdoor storage add everyday ease. True to the California tradition, life here naturally spills outside, with French doors leading to a private, fully gated garden. This extension of the home unfolds into intimate spaces for morning coffee, long lunches, evenings by the fire and gatherings with friends. Beneath the pergola is a shaded dining area, while, a few steps above, built-in redwood seating surrounds a gas fire pit framed by mature hedges and pink bougainvillea. A carved daybed offers a tucked-away retreat, while a gas barbecue, just steps from the kitchen, makes dining outside effortless. A fountain with drought-tolerant plants, river rocks and layers of mature greenery complete the setting. Weekly gardening service is included, along with the convenience of trash bins being taken to the street each week by the gardeners. Street parking only, but it is always ample. Private, relaxed and full of character, this is quintessential California living, conveniently located near freeways, downtown L.A. and the best of Highland Park. Come see it today!
