This home is the definition of the dream east side bungalow compound complete with views of the San Gabriel mountains and fountains of Echo Park, a large backyard filled with fruit trees that sweeten the air, and charming built-ins that create character throughout the home. This home is configured for dual-level living with kitchens, living, dining, and laundry areas on both levels. Either floor can be used as a live/work level or enjoy the desirable flexibility of expansive additional living and entertaining spaces. There are 4 bedrooms + office on the upper level and 2 bedrooms + an office and dressing room on the lower level- perfectly suited for evolving needs, from multi-generational living to quiet inspiration. As soon as you walk in, you are greeted with magnificent mountain and city views in the main entertaining corridor of the house, which includes the living room, dining area, and family room. Everywhere you look is an enchanting detail that evokes joy and creativity. The primary bedroom has Echo Park and mountain views with an adjacent room that can also be converted to an expansive walk-in closet for the primary. The lower level has 2 bedrooms/1 bathroom and an office, its own kitchen, a large living room, a bathroom, laundry, additional storage space, and backyard access. Both levels have their own outdoor eating area- perfect for large-scale hosting and entertaining. This is one of those rare homes where you can breathe a sigh of relief at all the period details like the brick archways, built-in cabinets, vintage wallpaper, and bright tile that were preserved to create this home's distinctive artistic personality. The backyard is an oasis where you can watch the Echo Park fountains on full display while you relax by the fire or host a dinner party under the beautiful bougainvillea vines while sipping fresh orange juice from the mature orange tree in the garden. There are also avocado, apple, kumquat, lemon, and fig trees as well as a chicken coop- a gardener's dream. The lower level backyard has its own shed- used as a small home gym that offers another flexible use space as well. Other features include gated tandem parking for 2 cars, solar panels, a new exterior sewer line, and new interior paint. The beauty of this home is its flexibility to live, work, and entertain all within the confines of this magical place that feels like a countryside home that happens to be minutes from the best of Eastside dining and shopping.
