Description
Offers will be due Tuesday April 21st @ 5pm. Located on a corner lot and set behind reclaimed wood fencing wrapped in ivy and delicate white jasmine, this dreamy Highland Park bungalow feels like a hidden garden retreat in the heart of the city. Completely private and overflowing with charm, the property unfolds through a series of beautifully layered outdoor spaces where worn wood decking, aged hardscape, and pea gravel pathways create an atmosphere that feels both grounded and transportive. Thoughtfully designed with a rich mix of California-native and drought-tolerant landscaping, the grounds are filled with California buckwheat, sculptural San Pedro cactus, fragrant lavender and rosemary, cowboy sagebrush, eucalyptus, and flowering accents that soften every edge. Mature olive, guava, kumquat, and pepper trees add texture, shade, and a sense of abundance, creating an outdoor setting that feels lush, whimsical, and deeply loved. Set on approximately 4600 SF of grounds, the property feels grand, designed to be lived inside just as much as outside. There are inviting spaces to dine al fresco, gather with friends around the fire pit, or simply enjoy the beauty of the surroundings. Custom seating finished with tile from Orca Living adds another thoughtful design moment, while the entire landscape feels curated yet effortless, blending seamlessly with the warmth and soul of the home itself. Inside, the main residence is a sun filled two bedroom, one bath California bungalow with large entry porch to enjoy your morning tea/coffee and an open, easy flow with strong connection to the outdoors. Windows cast beautiful light throughout the interiors while the Portola-painted walls, hardwood-style flooring, designer Cle tile in bath, and patinated fixtures give the home a layered, soulful character. Enjoy cooking in your darling kitchen with butcher block countertops, farm sink with large window overlooking the gardens and built-in dishwasher. Every room has windows showcasing the beautiful outside grounds. The detached garage has been converted into a flexible bonus space that functions as a third bedroom, studio, or workshop. Complete with pitched ceilings, large window, a second powder bathroom, laundry, and soft lighting, it offers the same charm and intentionality found in the main house. The property has been lovingly cared for with a new roof, tankless water heater, recessed lighting, updated sewer, 200amp electrical panel, and central NEST hvac system while the large driveway provides onsite parking for two cars. Located in the heart of Highland Park just three blocks from Figueroa, The Goldline Metro, and 110 fwy, this home places you moments from the neighborhood's beloved boutiques, restaurants, cafes, nightlife, museums, and art galleries. It is a rare offering that feels tucked away and peaceful, yet completely connected to the energy and culture that make Highland Park so special.
