3036 Atwater Ave$1,095,000For Sale

Private and ideally located, this Atwater Village compound offers three distinct residences: a front 2 bedroom, 1.5 bathroom main house, a detached 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom ADU, and an additional freestanding studio - all on an expansive and expertly landscaped 6,599 sq. ft. lot. The front home is a striking 1928 Tudor residence, offering a thoughtful floorplan with elevated finishings. Set back from the street, a newly landscaped front yard leads to the welcoming front patio. Inside, recently refinished original hardwood floors run throughout, grounding the home in rich, historic patina. The bright and airy living room is anchored by an architecturally expressive fireplace and flows into the generous dining area, where custom built-in cabinetry creates a natural gathering space. Sight lines extend through the kitchen and out to the backyard, establishing an effortless connection between everyday life and the outdoors. The kitchen is both functional and inviting, with newer appliances and natural wood cabinetry. Down the hall, two comfortable bedrooms sit on opposite ends, including an ensuite primary bedroom with its own access to the deck. A beautifully updated half bath sits conveniently off the main hall. French doors from the kitchen open to an expansive 250 sq. ft. deck, which flows to the home's generous backyard planted with mature fruit trees avocado, guava, kumquat, Meyer lemon, loquat, and prickly pear - a true California landscape. The newly constructed ADU offers a fully independent 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom dwelling with modern finishings, natural light, a full kitchen, and its own private entrance - ideal for guests, extended family, or rental income. An additional detached studio sits just behind the ADU, offering a flexible space suitable for a gym, home office, or recreation room, thereby adding meaningful versatility to the property. Improvements have been completed steadily and thoughtfully over the years - refreshed bathrooms, new HVAC and Nest controls, exterior and interior paint, refinishing of original wood floors, a whole-house Culligan water filtration system, a newly added archway, and retroactive permitting of the detached studio - all adding layers of comfort and long-term value. Ideally situated in the heart of Atwater Village, the home sits moments from the LA River walking path, Dune, Proof Bakery, La Colombe, All'Acqua, and the weekly Atwater Sunday Farmers Market. Charming neighborhood blocks, beloved cafes, and independent shops surround the home, offering both convenience and community - a quiet residential pocket with effortless access to one of LA's most vibrant and creative enclaves.
