Built in 1906

Beautifully renovated Dutch Colonial Revival in prime Highland Park. Amid a lush garden of native California plants, this turnkey 1906 home is the perfect blend of charming original details and modern updates. High ceilings and a majestic curved staircase at the entrance flow into light-filled living and dining areas with refurbished original Douglas Fir floors and stained 118-year-old artisan woodwork. Every inch of the designer kitchen was thoughtfully maximized and features soapstone and butcher block counters, custom cabinetry, new wood flooring, a farmhouse sink, and Zia tiles. The dining area leads into a bonus room, ideal for an office or den, and French doors that open to the rear deck. Fully remodeled bathrooms-one conveniently located on each floor feature Heath Tile and Mission Tile West. Three upstairs bedrooms enjoy treetop views of the San Gabriel mountains, the Verdugos, and beyond. Centered around a California Coast Live Oak, the park-like backyard features edible and native plants and is host to an array of butterflies, pollinators, ladybugs, and birds. The front yard was designed by Dune Gardens to evoke the Sycamore groves of the nearby Arroyo Seco. This green, sustainable home has rainwater catchment and a zoned smart Rachio irrigation system. It is completely gas-free and comes equipped with high-end, all-electric appliances including a heat pump water heater, induction cooktop, washer/dryer, oven, and heat pump central HVAC with 4 temperature sensors and Smart 2-zone Ecobee WiFi controlled thermostat. Systems upgrades include all new electrical panel and wiring, copper water lines, new ducting, and a completely replaced foundation (in 2005). Located within the Garvanza HPOZ, the home also comes with a historic Mills Act contract and significant property tax savings. With two private parking spots, this home is perfectly situated between Figueroa and York, a half mile to the A Train and just minutes from area favorites such as Amiga Amore, Kumquat, Cookbook, and the Hermosillo. An incredibly rare opportunity in one of the best pockets of Highland Park.
