Description

Tucked away on a private cul-de-sac in Highland Park, this hillside bungalow blends vintage charm with modern updates and artistic flair. Lovingly restored by an artist, this home boasts original oak hardwood floors, beaded molding, and coved windows. The restored period kitchen features a stunning doublewide vintage stove, meticulously maintained by Vintage Stove Heaven, while the upstairs vintage bathroom has been carefully updated with chrome fixtures true to the era. The converted garage serves as a spacious art studio, complete with wide access doors, a large art table on casters, excellent airflow, and built-in storage. The space also includes a laundry area with a stacked washer/dryer, a cast iron sink, and a work table. A fully finished basement bonus room, complete with knotty pine paneling and built-in shelving, adds to the home's versatile living areas. This extra indoor space could potentially be rented out for additional income, offering flexibility for creative living or investment opportunities. Modern conveniences include a tankless water heater, forced air heating and air conditioning, new electrical and sewer lines, and copper piping installed throughout. The roof was replaced in 2011, and a downstairs full bathroom with a pocket door, low-flow toilet, and shower/tub was added in 2009. Surrounded by native, low-water landscaping, the expansive property features two mature trees, a pink lady apple tree, and beautiful views of the city and palm trees unique to the El Mio hill. With ample breezes from the arroyo, the outdoor space offers a peaceful retreat, shaded by a stately Chinese Elm. Just a short walk to the Metro Gold Line and minutes from the vibrant nightlife on York Blvd and N Figueroa St, this home offers both privacy and prime access to Highland Park's best. A true gem, this bungalow has been gently lived in by artists for the past two decades, offering a perfect blend of history, character, and creativity.
