About this single-family home
This spectacular 1929 Spanish Revival residence captures the romance and craftsmanship of a bygone era, rich with timeless character and charm. Perched gracefully along the palm tree-lined Avenue 59, the home has been lovingly preserved, showcasing an array of original period details throughout. Step inside to discover a sun-filled formal living space with warm wood floors, elegant barrel ceilings, a decorative fireplace, and an oversized picture window that frames the lush front garden. The formal dining area is perfectly situated with views through French doors out onto the porch and surrounding greenery. The efficient galley kitchen features an OK&M stove and connects to the unbelievably charming breakfast rotunda, which highlights original windows and built-ins. Throughout, you'll find vintage wall sconces, architectural alcoves, and other preserved treasures. Two bright bedrooms exude warmth and the comforting feel of "home" and provide ample closet space. The vintage-style bathroom retains its original tilework and a classic vanity, adding to the home's enduring appeal. The drought-tolerant, fenced front garden offers views of one of Highland Park's most iconic homes and is a gardeners' paradise with native and other varieties of plants. In the rear of the property, a private outdoor retreat awaits, perfect for entertaining with a wood deck, grassy play areas, an epic "catio," and head-on views of Downtown L.A. Additionally, mature fruit trees throughout the property yield pecans, figs, lemons, and loquats. Zoned LARD2, the property offers flexibility with three distinct spaces, ideal for creatives, remote professionals, or those exploring income potential. One of the spaces had previously approved plans for an ADU conversion, offering added versatility. Nestled in the historic core of Highland Park, just blocks from the Metro Gold Line, this is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Los Angeles' architectural heritage. Enjoy unbeatable access to York and Figueroa's vibrant dining scene, lively bars, indie coffee shops, boutique shopping, and the ever-evolving creative culture that defines Highland Park. Nearby highlights include the Arroyo Dog Park, hiking trails in Ernest Debs Park, Dodger Stadium, and a host of iconic Southern California destinations.
