Description
Tucked into the hills of Highland Park, this beautifully reimagined 1920s bungalow blends timeless character with elevated, design-forward living. Set above the street with sweeping city views, the home offers a rare sense of calm, privacy, and connection to its surroundings. Dark hardwood floors run throughout, while vaulted ceilings in the kitchen, dining room, and primary suite create an airy, dramatic feel balanced by warm, inviting spaces. Both bathrooms have been thoughtfully finished with marble counters and flooring, clean lines, and polished chrome fixtures, including a serene primary ensuite with classic basketweave marble floors. The primary and second bedroom each open directly onto the rear view deck, creating seamless indoor-outdoor flow with easy access to the patio and lush lower garden spaces below. One of the property's most unique features is the included 1973 Airstream Argosy, fully furnished and connected to the home's water and sewer system. Complete with a kitchenette, built-in dining area, and its own hillside views, it functions as an inspiring guest retreat, creative hideaway, or flexible additional living space. Designed for both quiet mornings and effortless entertaining, the flat lower garden offers multiple outdoor areas for dining, gathering, and relaxing in total privacy. At the lowest level, a permitted detached studio provides incredible versatility for creative use, office space, workouts, or future possibilities.Ideally located in the heart of Highland Park, just blocks from the shops, cafes, and energy of York Boulevard and Avenue 50, and minutes from the Figueroa Corridor, this is a home that perfectly captures the neighborhood's signature blend of charm, creativity, and Eastside living. Total square footage listed in MLS reflects main house, permitted studio and Airstream Argosy.
