Property Detail

Description

Built in 1911, this California Craftsman sits between Echo Park and Silver Lake, a short walk from the restaurants, shops, and coffee along Sunset Boulevard. Original windows, millwork, built-ins, and hardwood floors give the home its character, along with exposed rafter tails and a classic dormer roofline. Over the years it was cared for rather than remodeled out of its history. A wide front porch with a classic swing leads into a bright living room with a decorative fireplace, which opens to the dining area and kitchen. Two bedrooms share a central bathroom, and the layout works just as well with the second bedroom used as a guest room or home office. Central heat and air keep things comfortable year-round, which is rare in a home of this age. The home sits on a roughly 5,000 sq ft lot. Off the back, a mudroom with laundry opens onto a large deck overlooking a well-manicured yard with room to dine, entertain, or just read a good book with a cup of coffee. (On clear nights, you'll catch city lights views.) The former garage is now the studio you've always wanted, a flexible space for work, creative projects, or a potential ADU. A generously sized unfinished attic and a California basement add plenty of storage, and the driveway provides off-street parking. With RD1.5 zoning, the property also offers future development potential for buyers looking ahead. The location is hard to beat. Echo Park Lake and the Silver Lake Reservoir are both nearby, and so much of what makes the neighborhood great is right outside your door: cocktails at Bar Bandini, coffee from Andante, a slice from Triple Beam, organic lunch from Honey Hi, live music at the Echoplex, and vintage finds at the LA Flea. It's city living with a quiet place to come home to.
