About This Home

As of June 2017

Charismatic 1940's Spanish Bungalow in prime Echo Park. Situated in Elysian Heights, this smartly designed home has been updated to maximize space and comfort. Gated, hedged and hidden from the street, enter into a private oasis with saltillo tiled patio, grassy yard and deck with a view of the Downtown skyline. The living room is spacious and light filled with hardwood floors, character sconce lighting and vistas of the hillside beyond. The remodeled kitchen has a graphic edge with Granada cement tiled floor, butcher block counters, open shelving and stainless appliances. Master bedroom is spacious enough to accommodate a king sized bed and has ample closet space. A modernized bath, second bedroom and laundry room round out this sweet abode. Separate storage shed with East facing windows could make for a fabulous office space with a little effort. Close to Fix Coffee and ever evolving Echo Park Ave!
