Re-imagined bungalow in coveted pocket of Highland Park. Perfectly positioned between Figueroa and York on a quiet street, this home is a hillside sanctuary in the city. Perched above the street behind a lovely screen of plants, there is a private front yard with garden boxes, tall bamboo, lush meadow grasses, a Santa Barbara peach tree, a pink lemonade tree, and passion fruit. Entering the home, you are captivated by soaring ceilings and a generous living room with a newly designed kitchen conducive for entertaining. Two bedrooms are located on the first floor, one with an ensuite bathroom. Off the kitchen, there is a laundry / mudroom with ample storage and easy access to the outside. Upstairs is another bedroom with an ensuite bathroom and charming stained glass window. Flowing from the upstairs bedroom is a terraced backyard with lush native and regionally appropriate plants that welcome pollinators, butterflies, and hummingbirds, and majestic eucalyptus that creates a calming dappled light. The yard is truly magical with the well thought out landscaping, the soft glow of the hills in the distance and pocketed areas to enjoy the yard including a built-in corner bench, grass area, dining area and hot tub. The home also has many updated systems, including solar panels, a grey water system, a 200 amp panel, tankless water heater and car charger. When not enjoying your home, you are only blocks away from all the shops and restaurants on York and Figueroa, the Farmer's Market and train. This spot is the best of hillside living and accessibility to Northeast LA happenings.
