Experience SoCal outdoor living at its best in this enchanting Spanish bungalow! An easy walk to the vibrant centers of Highland Park - York Blvd, Figueroa, and more. Secluded on a quiet cul-de-sac, this tropical paradise is a nature lover's oasis. Enter through a fragrant Jasmine archway into an inviting succulent garden that includes peaches, apples, and fig trees. Or pass through the side gate to discover a peaceful Mediterranean courtyard. It's your secret garden; complete with multiple outdoor seating areas shaded by Birds of Paradise, Olive, and Bottle Brush trees.Sip iced tea beneath the overhead lights, dine al fresco with friends under a Bougainvillea-covered pergola, or savor hot cocoa by the fire pit next to the studio. Natural light floods the well-planned bungalow fitted with original hardwood floors, archways and a generous bathtub. This private retreat boasts the convenience of a brand new central HVAC system, while the trees offer shade that keeps the house cool throughout. French doors swing open to connect the bright interior to the courtyard and adjacent studio space.Formerly a garage, the 200 sq. ft. finished studio offers soundproofed walls and doors, a new roof, skylight, cork floors, a ductless mini-split AC/heater, reclaimed wood bookshelves and a multitude of imaginative possibilities. This additional space is great for hosting overnight guests and has plumbing hookups for a potential ADU conversion. The current owners make passive income by periodically listing the house on Peerspace, a film and photoshoot location service. This optional, low effort side hustle can generate over $20k per year. Stars like Paris Jackson, Bella Poarch, and many others have taken advantage of the home's natural beauty!This is the perfect work-from-home dream. With two separate spaces and plenty of outdoor living and parking on your newly plumbed street, or driveway. Welcome to your peaceful tropical sanctuary!
