Property Description
Nestled in the coveted Angelino Heights HPOZ, this stately 1918 Craftsman residence blends historic elegance with timeless appeal. Set on an expansive 7,500+ sq ft lot, the 4-bedroom, 1.5-bath home offers both privacy and architectural distinction in Echo Park's most storied neighborhood. A thoughtfully designed floor plan includes three generously sized bedrooms upstairs, while the main level features a grand living area, formal dining room, charming breakfast room, and an additional bedroom - ideal for guests or a home office. Rich original details abound: hardwood floors, vintage light fixtures, intricate moldings, and exquisite wood paneling, offering a rare opportunity to preserve and personalize a true piece of Los Angeles history. This is a remarkable canvas for those seeking to restore and elevate a classic Craftsman with enduring character and grace. Privatized from street view by mature trees, and a front yard is surrounded by lush bamboo hedging, entrants are greeted by a covered porch, where a vintage Craftsman pendant light hangs over a gorgeous wooden front door. Inside, a spacious foyer opens to an enormous living room, framed by large picture windows on three sides. A striking stone fireplace anchors the room with warmth and character. Through double pocket doors, the formal dining room impresses with wood-paneled walls, decorative stenciling, and a charming built-in display nook. The adjacent butler's pantry connects seamlessly to the kitchen, where original tile, generous cabinetry, and a laundry area with powder room reflect the home's authentic 1910s charm. A light-filled breakfast nook just off the dining room offers versatility as a cozy den or bonus bedroom, while a nearby office provides additional flex space on the main level. Upstairs, accessed via dual staircases from both the foyer and dining room, are three large bedrooms and a full bath. The primary bedroom features a walk-in closet and French doors leading to a balcony overlooking the peaceful backyard. A hall bath with penny tile, a vintage pedestal sink, a separate tub, and a walk-in shower serves the upper level, where hardwood floors and freshly painted walls bring a crisp finish to this soulful home. Outside, the fenced backyard offers a palette for the next owner to reimagine. The yard has ample room for entertaining, gardening, or even expansion with a mature orange tree, a flat pad for outdoor dining, and space for additional parking. The detached garage, currently used for storage, welcomes its next owner to update and convert to a studio, ADU, home gym, or office. Just blocks from Echo Park Lake, Sunset Boulevard, and the Friday Farmers Market, and a quick drive to Dodger Stadium, Silver Lake, and some of the Eastside's most beloved spots like Quarter Sheets and The Lonely Oyster, this Craftsman treasure offers the best of vintage charm and urban convenience.
