Detailed Introduction Of This Home
Built in 1951 and perfectly sited atop a quiet street in Echo Park, this soulful property offers unparalleled city and mountain views, light-filled spaces, and an expansive 9000+ sf lot. A legal duplex that consists of a 2 bedroom / 2 bath home plus an attached 1 bedroom / 1 bath unit, both delivered vacant, this property creates endless possibilities for how it can be used, as the second space can provide rental income, a separate work from home space, or serve as the perfect setup to host visiting friends and family. Step through the front door of the main home to find a sun-kissed entry, soaring ceilings, an abundance of windows throughout, and spectacular views. The spacious living room features Southwest facing vistas, and glass doors that open to a shaded dining terrace. Enjoy weekend brunches and dinner parties with sunset views from here or one of the home's two other terraces, all while looking out to sweeping views that span from the Griffith Observatory and Hollywood sign all the way to Downtown LA, Century City and beyond. The adjoining dining room and vintage kitchen could not be more charming, with an O'Keefe and Merritt stove, separate butler's pantry, and ample countertop and cabinet space. More amazing views continue from the upstairs bright and airy primary bedroom which boasts high ceilings, a walk-in closet, an updated en-suite bathroom, and access to a large terrace and hot tub. The guest bedroom and its en-suite bathroom are situated off the home's foyer on the main level. The adorable separate 1 bedroom / 1 bath unit has a private entrance, and features an updated kitchen with stainless steel appliances, its own washer/dryer, and a lovely patio. The two separate but attached units could easily become one 3 bedroom / 3 bath home if preferred to be used that way. The property's sprawling lot offers possibilities for expansion, and a blank canvas for your dream landscaping project. Moments away from all of vibrant Echo Park's countless incredible shops and restaurants on Sunset Blvd and Echo Park Ave, as well as direct access to Elysian Park hiking trails right at the top of Quintero Street, this is California living at its best.
