If you've been dreaming of a bohemian retreat in Highland Park, this 1928 Spanish bungalow is calling your name. The charming stucco facade, red tile roof, and succulent garden make an irresistible first impression; the front porch is a serene perch for morning coffee. The open layout flows beautifully, a sunny space with wood floors, coved ceilings, and a suite of custom built-ins: a wood credenza for your records, a floor-to-ceiling shelving unit for books and treasures, and a dining banquette. The bright, white kitchen features floating shelves, a capacious pantry, and a pro-grade gas range. Both bedrooms get great light; the hall bathroom with a tub and shower is finished in Moroccan tile. A vibey bonus room with river rock walls and stone floors is perfect as a creative hideaway; a detached bonus structure provides more options for life/work balance. The scenic outdoors offer a myriad of destinations, from a flagstone pergola lounge and raised garden beds, to a hammock perch with hillside views, all set within artful native landscaping. Amenities include HVAC, one-car garage, and laundry. Nearby favorites include Gloria's, Sam's Place, Highly Likely, the Metro, and all things Figueroa.

Highland Park, located between Eagle Rock and South Pasadena, is a hillside and historic Los Angeles neighborhood with Craftsman bungalows and a walkable main street. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along York Boulevard near Figueroa Street, where record shops, coffee counters, small galleries, and sidewalk patios set a steady hum. The Highland Park Bowl anchors nights with restored-lanes charm, while The Lodge Room hosts a tight calendar of live music. The Arroyo Seco threads the edge with trails and open views, and the Metro A Line at Highland Park station links the area to Downtown. Spanish Revival apartments and early 20th-century storefronts give the streetscape a layered, lived-in look.
