Property Description
This soulful Craftsman compound in the heart of Highland Park has been lovingly updated over time with a thoughtful eye toward both preservation and comfort. Behind an arroyo stone wall and up a long brick driveway, the front garden, planted with native, drought-tolerant species, welcomes you with texture and color. The sunny, butter-yellow exterior and sweet front porch invite you to slow down and step inside. The living room radiates charm with abundant natural light, a large picture window, and a striking original hearth framed by built-in shelving. An elegant archway connects the living and dining rooms, creating an effortless flow into the spacious chef's kitchen. Here, warm terra cotta floors, butcher block counters, and modern appliances come together in a space that feels both functional and inviting. Just beyond, a mudroom and powder bath provide a practical buffer between daily routines and the home's main living areas. The primary suite offers generous storage and a stylishly updated bath. The second bedroom delights with custom wainscoting in a calming hue, while the recently remodeled hall bath pairs a Carrera marble vanity with a deep soaking tub. A third bedroom, tucked off the kitchen with double closets, offers flexibility as a guest space, den, or lounge. Outdoors, the expansive, fully gated backyard is a true sanctuary, featuring a large grassy lawn and shaded patio, perfect for entertaining or quiet afternoons at home. At the rear of the property, a detached guest house provides endless opportunities as a private retreat, creative studio, or work-from-home office. Complete with its own entrance, kitchenette, full bath, and ample storage, it is as versatile as it is inviting. All of this is just moments from the best of Highland Park, including Caf de Leche, Joy, The Goldfish, The Hermosillo, Queen's, York Park, Occidental College, and more.
