About This Home
As of June 2025In historic Angelino Heights, this updated 1906 Craftsman is tucked in privacy on an oversized gated lot spanning two parcels. The spacious layout hits all the right notes with great light, smart flow, and easy outdoor access. Original elements shine: large picture windows, period woodwork and hardware are subtly elevated by ReInhabit's modern updates. The gourmet kitchen impresses with a large island, pro-style range, and ample storage including a walk-in pantry. The top floor is devoted to a primary suite with sweeping DTLA views and a skylit bath; the main and lower levels hold four more bedrooms plus an expansive den. Sip coffee on the patio, and explore the rambling grounds where terraced gardens, decks, a flat lawn, and an outdoor shower create a dreamy setting for quiet afternoons and lively evenings. The finished two-car garage and attached bonus studio with kitchenette and bath add flexibility in this peaceful oasis, just minutes from Echo Park Lake, Elysian Park, and local coffee, dining, and shopping options.
