Detailed Introduction Of This Home
Perched above the street and perfectly framed between twin palms, this incredibly unique property with a recently built ADU offers a rare opportunity to own a mini-compound in the heart of Highland Park, just moments away from all of the fantastic shops and restaurants on vibrant York Blvd. The charming brick front porch of the beautifully updated California bungalow main home, from which you can see all the way to the Griffith Observatory, welcomes you into spacious, sun-kissed living spaces with lovely South-facing views. A bright living room and adjoining dining room flow effortlessly into the open kitchen, which features a large center island, ample counter and cabinet space, and stainless steel appliances. Just off the kitchen is a thoughtfully designed space which functions as a pantry, mudroom, and laundry area. The private primary suite is situated at the rear of the home, and boasts an abundance of windows, a walk-in closet, and light-filled en-suite bathroom with double vanity and views out to the property's upper garden. Two sizable guest bedrooms share a recently refreshed bathroom and complete the main home's interior space. Step outside to find the beautifully finished detached garage, which offers endless possibilities for your home office, gym, or creative space. Upon ascending a brick staircase that lies beyond the main house, you'll discover an exceptionally designed ADU that was completed in 2022.
