2136 1/2 Lemoyne St, Los Angeles, CA 90026

Description

Located on a quiet, charming street in one of Elysian Heights' most desirable pockets, 2136 1/2 Lemoyne Street is a rare standalone hillside home that feels like a treetop abode. Beautifully updated while maintaining its original 1947 character, the home offers a creative two-level layout, with two bedrooms and one bath upstairs, warm hardwood floors, and an effortless living and dining flow. Upon entering, you immediately feel elevated above the surrounding neighborhood, as oversized picture windows frame unobstructed treetop and hillside views, bringing the outdoors into nearly every room and filling the home with natural light. The open living and dining area connects seamlessly to the kitchen, while both bedrooms enjoy leafy outlooks. The bathroom adds a bit of personality with a custom wood vanity, vessel sink, and penny-round tile accents. On the lower level, polished concrete floors and exposed piping bring an industrial edge to a versatile bonus space, ideal as a creative studio, home office, media room, or additional living area. An additional bathroom and dedicated laundry room add everyday convenience. Outside, a lush garden creates a private sanctuary, with mature apple, tangerine, orange, persimmon, and loquat trees, along with multiple inviting spaces to relax and gather. A covered lower patio with warm wood-paneled ceilings features a freestanding outdoor sauna, while the upper balcony offers a beautiful perch for morning coffee and sunset cocktails overlooking the surrounding hills. Behind the scenes, extensive improvements include central HVAC, copper plumbing, a dedicated tankless water heater, updated electrical, and sewer line improvements. Two separate garage spaces offer exceptionally rare parking options in the area, with additional flexibility for storage. Moments from Elysian Park hiking trails and Echo Park Lake, and a short stroll from neighborhood favorites including Canyon Coffee, Bacetti, Henrietta's, Clark Street Bakery, and Dada Echo Park, this is a special combination of standalone living, serene privacy, character, thoughtful updates, and neighborhood convenience in one of Los Angeles' most beloved hillside neighborhoods.
