About this single-family home
The G.M. Sumner Residence, 1908 :: This craftsman-built, 5/br home and accompanying detached 2/br 1/ba rear unit (both vacant) sits within the heart of the storied Highland Park - Garvanza Historic Preservation Overlay Zone (HPOZ) . One of the rarest contributing historic structures in this celebrated and unique East side neighborhood, the stately original cobblestone clad front house gives one a grounded and soulful feeling once inside. Rich, artisan details, now gone from most similar properties still remain such as the original front door, wooden floors and mouldings. The first story of the front house is comprised of bright, open living & dining areas with oversized windows, one accented by Judson Studios stained glass. Both spaces flow into a spacious kitchen with marmoleum flooring, V-groove paneling and a Scandinavian pine chandelier. Off of the kitchen is a convenient den or office space. 4 spacious bedrooms, some with original built-ins, and 1/bathroom sit on the second story, thoughtfully separated from the entertaining areas. The large, drought tolerant backyard was transformed over many years by the current owner with specific native plants to attract wildlife and pollinators. Across the yard is a second story, character-rich 2/bedroom 1/bathroom unit with mountain views that was constructed in 1939, ideal for an income unit, extended family, au-pair or guest house. The rear structure also conveniently has a small workshop and 3 usable garages for the option of 3 dedicated parking spots. Extensive masonry, foundation restoration and drainage mitigation were completed by the current owner over several years. Other upgrades include custom wooden casement windows, whole house water filtration and drinking system and more. The property comes with a Mills Act contract and potential property tax reductions and is a contributing property to the Highland Park - Garvanza HPOZ. Just minutes from York and North Figueroa, it is within easy walking distance from the Metro A line station, local schools and many area favorites such as Galcos, Goldburger, Barcade, Amiga Amore, Donut Friend, Belle's Bagels, Sustain LA, Tropicana Market, Amara Kitchen, Mason Dumplings, Civil Coffee, the Highland Park Bowl and so much more.
