About This Home
As of July 2025Nestled into the verdant surroundings of Solano Canyon near Downtown LA, this beautifully remodeled home offers a fresh take on country living; tucked away from the city, yet within easy reach. The hillside residence has been meticulously updated with features that include custom lighting elements, pine flooring, and an open layout that flows seamlessly to a wide sundeck and gorgeous canyon vistas. In the stylish kitchen find custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, a subway tile backsplash and stainless appliance suite. Three bedrooms provide accommodation for guests and workspace; there is central heat+air, and an attached garage. Tranquil and private, the rear yard is the perfect spot to dine and lounge around the gas fire-pit with built-in bench seating. Mature trees and native plantings set a magical scene. Dining and takeout options are just minutes away in neighboring DTLA and Echo Park. The hiking and biking trails of Elysian Park and the LA River are within easy reach.
