Nestled behind tall hedges and a gated driveway, this beautifully modernized 3+2 traditional resides on a sprawling lot and is the perfect private shangri-la in trendy and bustling Glassell Park! Originally built in 1923, the character rich property features a timeless front porch beyond the expansive front yard. An intuitive open layout graces the interior, beginning in the living room and flowing effortlessly into the dining area and spacious gourmet kitchen. The flexible floor plan includes a large primary bedroom with en suite bath and closet with built-ins, plus two comfortable guest bedrooms -- one of which has French entry doors and could double as a den plus home office. The professionally landscaped backyard is a sanctuary unto itself, with mature perimeter hedging and trees, shade sails, string lights, a trellis/ pergola, massive outdoor dining and seating patio areas, and a manicured path to a gas fire pit. Tons of local hot spots for coffee, brunch, cocktails, dinner, and entertainment reside within blocks of the property -- Verdugo Bar, The Grant, Lemon Poppy Kitchen, Bub and Grandma's, Wife and The Somm, and Dunsmoor to name a few. DTLA and the LA River paths are also easily accessible for work and play. This is truly a rare opportunity to own a special and unique property!
