About this property
A rare opportunity to find your place in Highland Park. Tucked along a charming and private residential street, this inviting California bungalow is full of vintage character, creative potential, and the kind of old-Los Angeles charm that is increasingly hard to find. The main residence offers 2 bedrooms, welcoming living spaces, oversized windows, and timeless architectural details, creating a warm and intimate backdrop with plenty of personality. Outside, a spacious backyard opens to sweeping city views and a palm tree-lined skyline, offering an inspiring setting to entertain, unwind, or simply take in the surroundings. A finished bonus room and converted garage bring an added layer of flexibility, ideal for an artist's studio, creative workspace, or guest retreat, complete with its own additional bedroom and full bathroom. Just moments from the energy of York Boulevard and Figueroa Street, the location puts Highland Park's independent coffee shops, celebrated restaurants, vintage stores, galleries, and neighborhood favorites within easy reach. For those drawn to a more creative, connected, and distinctly Los Angeles way of living, this is a rare opportunity to make your mark in one of Highland Park's most sought-after pockets.
