Property Description
This Highland Park Mid-Century with modern flourishes provides the best of both worlds in Northeast Los Angeles. The 1945 book "Tomorrow's House," by George Nelson and Henry Wright comes to mind here in its focus on designing houses for improved post-war living. Sited on a fenced, private knoll between the border of Highland Park and Mount Washington, this 1958, mid century is filled with light. Skylights abound in every major room, and add to the existing natural light and openness of the property. The French doors of the main living space lead to a prominent deck that provides an almost 300 square foot extension of the house. The deck feels like its own separate wing with multiple seating areas and eastern facing views towards the San Gabriel mountains. The wraparound landscaping consists of multiple succulents, lavender, rosemary, fountain grass, fruit trees, and an herb garden directly outside the kitchen window. A converted stand-alone garage is currently configured as a studio/private office, and could easily be a 1-car garage again if desired. The 8000+ sf lot provides an opportunity to expand the existing footprint of the property. The residence also includes: 2 bedrooms (one with en-suite bath), 2 bathrooms, entertainer's kitchen with ample counter space and built-in shelving. (Main house measured at 890 sf + 200 sf converted garage and storage. Buyer to investigate permit history and garage conversion.)
