Property Description
More than $450,000 has been invested into transforming the property inside and out. The kitchen and bathrooms have been remodeled, lighting and systems upgraded, and what was once a dirt hillside transformed into a layered outdoor oasis for gathering, gardening, creating, and taking in the view. Two front balconies offer expansive vistas, while the upper garden terrace creates another incredible perch above the city.
Practical improvements include a whole-house water filtration system, custom window coverings, balcony shades, EV charging, outdoor storage, improved hardscape and pathways, and a sound-resistant studio/office within the garage, creating dedicated space for music, art, work, or whatever you dream up next.
But this is not a beige-box renovation & it was never meant to be.
The home's personality has been intentionally preserved: custom switch plates and outlet covers, hand-shaped towel racks, a disco ball sparkling over backyard gatherings, and giant googly eyes keeping watch over the hillside. The terraced grounds have been cultivated over years, creating spaces to entertain, retreat, make art, grow things, or simply disappear into your own corner of Los Angeles.
The three-bedroom home includes a custom lofted bedroom and has served not only as a residence, but as a gathering place, studio, gallery, performance space, dining room, and creative sanctuary. Direct stair access to Debs Park puts miles of hiking trails and open space practically outside your door, while Highland Park, Downtown LA and other Northeast LA neighborhoods and employment hubs remain within easy reach.
This is a home for someone looking for more than square footage. It is for someone who sees the value in originality, creativity, nature, connection & a place that has been allowed to have a soul.
A custom piece of fine art and house blessing will be gifted to the home's next steward as they become part of its continuing story.
The canvas is already extraordinary, What happens here next is yours
