Quintessential California bungalow located in the heart of Highland Park. Situated close to York Blvd this property provides easy access to many popular restaurants, coffee shops, and stores. Built in 1924 this character home retains much of its original American Craftsman aesthetic, including a double-gable roof with a hip, exposed rafter tails, a wide front porch anchored by columns with a beadboard ceiling, and clapboard siding. Within its 1,050 SF of living space you will find three bright bedrooms, one recently remodeled bathroom, and a spacious living room/dining room combo. The property also includes a large one-car garage that is finished and being used as a studio space. Beautifully landscaped, you will find both the front and back gardens flourishing with flowers, fruits, and lush greenery. Enjoy BBQ’s with friends on the backyard deck or relax on the front porch with a frosty beverage. The long driveway provides plenty of off-street parking. Additional highlights of this property include: recently replaced roof, new exterior paint, new front and back doors, custom blinds, original windows, new water heater, and a new wall AC unit in the studio. Prior owners previously installed hardwood floors, copper plumbing, upgraded electrical, and a central HVAC system. Just turn the key and you’ll be ready to move into your new bungalow!
