As of June 2025Nestled in a coveted pocket of Hillside Village, this playful 1940's bungalow is beaming with personality and is impossible to resist. Framed by a shady tree, this 2 bed 1 bath home has a versatile downstairs room that offers space for an office or gym. A welcoming front porch and grassy front yard provide a sweet spot to sit and watch the neighbors as they stroll towards the park. Inside, the living room opens to the dining and features original hardwood floors and large sun-lit windows with garden views. The updated kitchen has newer cabinetry, quartz countertops, new appliances and a door that leads to the backyard. Down the hallway, a spacious bathroom with a new vanity and light fixture warms the space. Both bedrooms showcase hardwood floors, new windows and great views of the DTLA skyline and city lights. Downstairs, a permitted TV room can double as an office and provides access to the newly landscaped backyard.

Features include newly painted interior and exterior, new windows throughout, a new mini split, new interior doors, and new light fixtures.
