A true artist's retreat, this charming bungalow tucked away in the hills of Silver Lake is your future escape from city life - while still being only a 10 min walk (via the stair streets) to Whole Foods and the Reservoir. An original Sears Kit home, this 2 bed/1bath abode has only had 2 previous owners, with the current owner having made significant improvements to enhance its modern livability. The home feels bigger than it's listed square footage due to a bonus utility room (roughly 80 sq ft) that is currently being used as a laundry/sewing area, but could be reconfigured to suit a variety of hobbies/crafts. Also enhancing this home's footprint is a covered patio with built-ins adding an extra outdoor living area, providing the perfect space to grill and dine. The entire backyard is fully shaded by a 30 foot tall pecan tree providing comfort for outside entertaining in warmer months. Inside, there are two cozy bedrooms that share a Jack-and-Jill style bathroom, including the original claw foot tub. Original hardwood floors throughout, with some updated tiling in the bathroom, kitchen, and bonus room. Extra conveniences include central A/C, a detached garage, and a basement/workroom/storage area which has water/electric hookups as well. The property also backs up to the historic Red Car Trail allowing for easy guest parking, and access to the property through the backyard gate. With gorgeous views from almost every room, this vintage bungalow is a perfect condo alternative - no HOAs, your own backyard, and a location that is second to none. Come enjoy this truly original piece of LA history and make it your own personal sanctuary!
