About This Home

As of October 2024

TWO charming units delivered vacant! Originally built in 1925, its first time on the market in over 20 years, this adorable Craftsman Bungalow plus studio unit oozes charm and historic character galore! The main home features two bed one bath PLUS an enclosed sun porch AND a detached studio w/ bathroom and kitchenette next to the garage! The front covered front porch overlooks a sweet fenced in front yard and the Mount Washington hillside in the distance. The main house also boasts a fireplace, beautiful architecturally significant wood windows and built-ins, a sunny breakfast nook, hardwood floors and an extra long driveway leading to a detached garage. The lush and private backyard features a myriad of fruit trees and a covered carport area adjacent to a studio apartment next to the garage. The studio and garage have direct alley access in the back making it potentially very easy to fence off and separate the two units if you chose to! The garage could also potentially become a third unit or Jr ADU. Both units could benefit from some TLC but the current owner has just completed major foundation work and repairs to create a workable canvas for the next owner! This is a fantastic opportunity for any investor looking for an opportunity to add significant value or an owner occupant who wants to bring their own vision fastest appreciating pockets in the nation. All located in the heart of culturally and artistic vibrant Highland Park on a beautiful quiet street just a stone's throw to the metro, nearby swap meet, and ultra trendy nearby cafes and shops! This Highland Park gem exudes cheerful energy and awaits its next chapter to thrive!
