Description
Tucked above the treetops on a cul-de-sac, this charming 1926 Spanish casita with a detached work studio is a dreamy find in scenic Echo Park. The open layout is warm and sunny, with wood floors and many period details throughout. The bright kitchen provides ample storage, a Viking range, and a colorful tile backsplash; the floor is finished with Saltillo tile and the flow is easy to the side patio for morning coffee. All three bedrooms enjoy access to enchanting outdoor space; the upper-level bedrooms share a hall bath and a balcony overlooking city lights, and the lower-level primary suite is a serene retreat with a walk-in closet and a spacious tiled bath. Unwind in the lush, beautifully curated yard, with several zones for alfresco brunches and starlit dinner parties. The detached work studio with AC is ready for an office, gym, yoga retreat, or storage. Amenities include AC/heat, laundry, and driveway parking. The best of Echo Park is right outside your door, with Bacetti, Quarter Sheets, and Cookbook Market nearby, along with hiking trails and the green expanses of Elysian Park.
