Set on a gentle knoll in the coveted enclave of Highland Park, this exquisitely restored 1906 Craftsman bungalow is a masterclass in timeless architecture reimagined for modern living. Enclosed by a classic Arroyo stone wall and enveloped in mature hedging, the property offers a rare sense of seclusion and serenity. Thoughtfully curated throughout, this residence features 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, along with a flexible 4th room currently envisioned as a bespoke dressing room. Throughout the home, original architectural details - rich woodwork, gleaming hardwood floors, and meticulously restored windows - speak to its heritage, while refined updates introduce a quiet, contemporary sophistication. The formal living room, anchored by a decorative fireplace and flanked by custom built-ins, unfolds gracefully into an expansive dining room with original cabinetry, creating an elegant setting for both intimate gatherings and larger-scale entertaining. The chef's kitchen is both warm and highly functional, appointed with cork flooring, stainless steel appliances, and a dedicated laundry area, seamlessly integrating everyday convenience with considered design. Two spacious bathrooms offer a sense of sophistication and style, each appointed with dual vanities and curated finishes - one featuring a marble-clad shower and soaking tub, the other a beautifully executed standalone shower. Outdoors, the property reveals its most captivating feature: a private, resort-caliber retreat designed for effortless indoor-outdoor living. Lush, layered landscaping surrounds a saltwater pool and spa, complemented by multiple lounge and dining areas and a retractable awning for shaded afternoons. The setting is both tranquil and transportive, an ideal backdrop for entertaining or quiet relaxation beneath the Southern California sky. Additional amenities include central HVAC, a detached two-car garage (currently configured for one full-size vehicle), and driveway parking for two. Offered furnished or unfurnished and available immediately, this exceptional residence places you moments from Highland Park's most celebrated boutiques, cafs, and dining destinations, including Hippo, Highly Likely, Kitchen Mouse, Civil Coffee, Highland Park Bowl, and Triple Beam Pizza, with convenient access to the city beyond.
