About This Home
As of July 2021Highland Park hilltop show stopper! This magical cottage can only fully be experienced in person. Privacy and views provide for a magical retreat from the city. This property boast two stand alone houses on a lot in Highland Park. Located in the much sought after streets north of York, this oasis will take your breath away. Walk to the shops and restaurants on York and enjoy fantastic sunsets from every room. First, a private cottage sanctuary with panoramic views is delivered vacant with a one-car garage. Comes with a backyard built to entertain or enjoy the peaceful serenity of its privacy. A true labor of love, the owner thoughtfully updated it with AC, electric, plumbing, and drainage while respecting much of the original character...something hard to find. The cabins floor plan opens out to different yard areas and offers sight lines to take in sunsets and the rolling hills of northeast LA from every room. The yard is remarkably flat and usable for a hillside home and offers a recently built fireplace, room to entertain and space to create, grow things or hang out. The lower front house is a traditional two bedroom, 1 bath + office rental unit that brings in $2,600/mo (below market) to offset the mortgage. There is a lot to love about this property both aesthetically and from an investment standpoint. We look forward to sharing it with you!
