Perched high above a quiet street just one block north of York Boulevard, this uniquely elevated two-bedroom, one-bath Craftsman offers rare privacy, sweeping neighborhood views, and exceptional indoor-outdoor living. Built circa 1951 in the classic Craftsman style and thoughtfully renovated in 2017, the residence seamlessly blends timeless architectural character with updated systems, including central air conditioning and heating, a tankless water heater, a reinforced foundation, and basement storage. Positioned to catch refreshing cross-breezes year-round even during warm summer months the home sits flooded with natural light just steps from vibrant shops, cafes, and restaurants. A covered front porch greets you at the top of the lot, providing a peaceful vantage point to relax in the shade and take in the elevated neighborhood views. Below, the generously sized, fully fenced front yard features a mix of drought-tolerant native plantings served by an efficient drip irrigation system, all anchored beneath a magnificent shade tree to create a private, low-maintenance oasis for outdoor dining, entertaining, or pets. Inside, the light-filled living room flows naturally into the dining area and open kitchen. Classic elements like original built-in dining room cabinetry, crown molding, plantation shutters in the living and dining rooms, updated light fixtures, and wood flooring capture the home's craft-focused roots. French doors open from the dining area to the front yard, allowing for effortless indoor-outdoor living and al fresco meals beneath the tree. The bright kitchen features a large box window, crisp white tile, abundant upper and lower cabinetry, ample pantry storage, and stainless-steel appliances, including a gas range, dishwasher, and refrigerator. An adjacent laundry room provides additional storage and direct access to the rear of the property. Both bedrooms offer rich natural light, wood flooring, and generous closet space, connected by a bright and functional Jack-and-Jill bathroom. Practical convenience matches the charm, featuring a street-level on car garage with an electric door that offers great potential for a creative studio, home office, or workshop, plus additional off-street parking behind the home. Ideally situated near Occidental College and the best of Highland Park, with quick access to Downtown Los Angeles, Glendale, and Pasadena, this elevated home offers beautiful outdoor space, city views, modern comfort, and an exceptional NELA lifestyle.
