Description

Set in one of LA's most thriving neighborhoods, this 1905 California Craftsman is a rare find: a home packed with historic soul, period details, and true character, one block up from Echo Park's best coffee shops, cute boutiques, and iconic nightlife. Step onto the quintessential front porch and into a traditional main-floor layout that proudly embraces its grace and history. A formal living room and spacious dining room anchor the floor plan, leading into an updated yet classically styled kitchen featuring a marble-topped island, modern appliances, and ample storage. It's a space with undeniable warmth, flowing directly out to a patio built for outdoor entertaining. The main level also features a flexible guest room/office/den with its own backyard access and a laundry room. Off the living room is a proper guest bathroom with a classic tub and vintage tile flooring. Upstairs, the serene primary bedroom offers an en-suite bath and a sunny, private screen-enclosed balcony (CAT-io, catio) overlooking the back gardens. Additionally, there are 2 connecting bedrooms and a large, charming and bright bathroom with windows overlooking the backyard. One of the property's best-kept secrets is tucked away on the third level: a light-filled finished bonus-space attic brimming with creative possibilities. The 7600+ square-foot hedged and fenced lot feels like a private Eastside sanctuary. Mature trees, multiple sitting areas and an above-ground hot tub make the outside feel like a zen oasis. Two detached bonus structures offer endless flexibility for hobbies, workspaces, art studio, or music room. This isn't a sterile, cynical developer's white box. It's an authentic, character-rich Craftsman with tangible upside, right in the center of the city's best scene!
