Is it too Halloweeny to say it has good bones? This 1923 built Elysian Heights Craftsman style duplex in Echo Park has SPOOKtacular south, west and northern views; enjoy them inside or from the heavenly balcony while drinking spirits. No bones about it, the verdant grounds are peaceful and abundant. Beyond the duplex, surrounded in the privacy of the backyard sits a 200+ sqft cottage retreat with full bath including an Asian wood soaking tub. The classic and adorable home features a vintage glass front door & crown molding with two bedrooms, (one currently outfitted as a den), efficient kitchen w/ restored antique Wedgewood stove, and a remodeled bath with walk-in shower; all rooms are filled with natural light. Views are alive and ever changing; on clear days you can see the glimmering of the ocean in the distance. The spacious balcony offers views of the Hollywood sign and Griffith Observatory by day; and shimmering, jewel-box views at night. The second home with its own separate patio & private entrance, has timber framed doors, Douglas Fir hardwood floors, period light fixtures, and adorable bath. French doors lead to the spacious bedroom. The square shaped kitchen with yellow tile countertops and O’Keefe & Merritt stove has room for a small island. The cottage retreat (unpermitted) with full bath, wood porch, and coved beam ceiling is surrounded by foliage; it makes a great office, meditation room, or guest quarters. The gentle slope of this 8,300+ sqft parcel allows for ample gardens, a cornucopia of delights that includes; Kumquats, Pineapple-Guava, Fuyu Persimmon, Apple, Avocado, Jujube, Moringa plus a variety of citrus trees; Meyer Lemon, Tangelo, Tangerine, Grapefruit, Valencia Orange, and Mexican Seedless Lime. The main house is approximately 700 sqft, the 2nd home is about 500 sqft & the guest cottage measures 200+ sqft. (The two units are separately metered for gas and electric; either could be rented for additional income.) Elysian Heights has much to offer! Walk or bike ride to well-known eateries such as Valerie Echo Park, Cookbook, and Bacetti Trattoria, or explore the nearby Arts District, ChinaTown, FrogTown, and of course Elysian Park where you can hike, bike, jog or picnic. Centrally located with easy freeway access to Glendale, Pasadena, Hollywood & DTLA. With multiple creative & living spaces plus tranquil & pleasant grounds; there is a warm and welcoming energy. No tricks, no treats, you’ll love it more than candy corn.
