Property is new construction or fully renovated.
Although built in 1958, the property has undergone a comprehensive high-end renovation within the last 5 years. The entertainer's kitchen features modern flat-panel cabinetry and quartz countertops, and the bathrooms have been updated with contemporary floating vanities. With new skylights, updated flooring, modern French doors, and a large newer deck with cable railings, the home is in mint, move-in ready condition with no visible maintenance needs.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 8039, living area = 1090.
This 1958 home features classic mid-century design with abundant skylights in every major room and French doors that create a bright, airy atmosphere and seamless indoor-outdoor flow.
Situated on a generous 8,000+ square foot lot, the property offers significant privacy, curated wraparound landscaping, and ample room to expand the existing footprint in a high-demand area.
Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 1090, other record living area = 874.
With the main residence measuring only 890 square feet, the interior living space is quite compact, which may be a constraint for buyers at this price point seeking more indoor volume.
The garage has been converted into a studio without confirmed permit history, which may present challenges regarding appraisal or require the buyer to sacrifice covered parking.
This Highland Park Mid-Century with modern flourishes provides the best of both worlds in Northeast Los Angeles. The 1945 book "Tomorrow's House," by George Nelson and Henry Wright comes to mind here in its focus on designing houses for improved post-war living. Sited on a fenced, private knoll between the border of Highland Park and Mount Washington, this 1958, mid century is filled with light. Skylights abound in every major room, and add to the existing natural light and openness of the property. The French doors of the main living space lead to a prominent deck that provides an almost 300 square foot extension of the house. The deck feels like its own separate wing with multiple seating areas and eastern facing views towards the San Gabriel mountains. The wraparound landscaping consists of multiple succulents, lavender, rosemary, fountain grass, fruit trees, and an herb garden directly outside the kitchen window. A converted stand-alone garage is currently configured as a studio/private office, and could easily be a 1-car garage again if desired. The 8000+ sf lot provides an opportunity to expand the existing footprint of the property. The residence also includes: 2 bedrooms (one with en-suite bath), 2 bathrooms, entertainer's kitchen with ample counter space and built-in shelving. (Main house measured at 890 sf + 200 sf converted garage and storage. Buyer to investigate permit history and garage conversion.)
