A romantic Spanish retreat in the heart of Highland Park where original character, thoughtful restoration, and colorful California living come together. Set on charming corner lot this bright and airy home has been lovingly renewed while preserving the architectural details that give it its soul. The living room is a beautiful gathering place, with a striking fireplace, a large picture window, and graceful barrel-vaulted ceilings that bring the romance of its Spanish roots to life. Throughout, original details have been carefully restored and complemented by a newly remodeled bathroom, creating a home that feels authentic, joyful, and completely unique. The thoughtfully designed layout includes three large bedrooms – all appropriately set in the rear of the house for ultimate privacy. Behind the scenes, the important work has been done: the home has been completely re-wired with a new 200 amp electrical panel, a new HVAC system and foundation upgrades have been completed, offering peace of mind alongside all of the vintage charm. The home opens to a wonderful backyard that extends the living space and provides the perfect setting for morning coffee, dinner with friends, or lingering afternoons outdoors. The large, detached garage is an ideal a home office, studio or future ADU. Step outside and the neighborhood unfolds: grab coffee in the morning at local favorites Collage or Kumquat, or grab dinner at Joy or Queen Street or the many other culinary spots, enjoy drinks with friends at Hermosillo, or a live show at the Goldfish, or just do a little shopping at the many quaint boutique shops on York. All of this at your fingertips without ever having to get in your car.
