R2 LOT -- FULLY RENOVATED AND RESTORED -- This house is in the popular and sought-after part of North-East Los Angeles, Highland Park. This small bungalow-style home has been restored and renovated, keeping the fantastic historic look and character. Highland Park, being a neighborhood rich in artistry and diversity attracts creatives and families alike. Only 15 min away from most popular cities such as Pasadena, Downtown LA Glendale, and Griffith Park. The house sits on an R2 lot that can allow the new owners to build an independent and brand new second home in the back of the property. With an alley entry through the back of the lot, you can have a second unit with an independent entrance without disturbing the main front house.
The House went through an extensive renovation fully approved by the city. Even though this house is more than one hundred years old, it's insulated with closed-cell foam in the walls and blown-in insulation in the ceiling for a twenty-first-century comfort. The windows have been kept original and are restored with new hardware, new sash cords, and an updated parting bead for extra weatherization. The mini-split unit can cool down this cute home on a hot summer day and make it warm in your short but cool SoCal winters, it also has the option to add up to four-zone systems. You will also feel great having drought-tolerant landscaping with a drip irrigation system and knowing that you are doing your part in conserving water. Do not miss the opportunity to own this little historic gem.
