Description
Nestled on a gently sloped hill surrounded by a cornucopia of character homes in the heart of NELA is this pristine 1937 California Bungalow in Highland Park's sought-after Garvanza District. Tucked behind a redwood fence adorned with lush vines, the front yard creates a tapestry of natural beauty that provides a glimpse of the wonder that awaits. Beyond the breezy front porch with sweeping hillside views is the living room featuring gorgeous original wood floors and an oversized picture window that floods the home in natural light. Past the whimsical archway is the dining room and thoughtfully updated kitchen with custom wood cabinets, quartz counters and a striking Moroccan, hand-cut and molded Zellige tile backsplash. Off the hallway are two inviting bedrooms and the utterly charming vintage bath with warm wainscoting and mosaic tile details. From the primary bedroom, the verdant backyard beckons behind glittering custom French doors. Once outside, guests will discover an enchanting oasis embraced by California wildflowers, mature trees with storybook canopies, vibrant bougainvillea and an expansive wraparound porch and pergola with views and a sparkling hot tub to relax the day away. Totally fenced and private, with multiple spaces for gathering, entertaining or savoring quiet moments, the backyard is a haven you'll never want to leave. Other features include a 2-car detached garage ready to be converted to an ADU or work-from-home space, a new permitted roof, refinished wood floors, full interior and exterior paint and a tankless water heater. Sitting off Figueroa and moments to innumerable restaurants and shops on York Blvd., Eagle Rock's Colorado Blvd., Pocha LA, Mason's Dumpling Shop, Joy, Rosty's, Skafs, Villa's Tacos, Aunt Yvette's Kitchen, Hodori Korean, Relentless Brewing and countless more, minutes to the 134/5/2 freeways, world class amenities in Old Town Pasadena, Glendale and Silver Lake, this jewel-like retreat from the City is ready for her next adoring guardians.
