Expertly renovated 3 bed, 2 bath Craftsman home sitting north of York Boulevard, with recent cosmetic and systemic upgrades perfect for the buyer seeking a designer, turn-key home in the heart of Highland Park. The private home sits behind a front gate, quiet and serene with its newly-landscaped front yard and mature lemon tree, yet walkable to Highland Park's best bars, restaurants, and shops. Rife with original Craftsman details, the home features a wide front porch, tiled fireplace, built-in shelving and colonnades dividing the living room and dining room. The traditional layout of this spacious, light-filled home is ideal, featuring a front living room, dining room, large open-plan kitchen, and three bedrooms at the rear. The primary bedroom features a beautifully remodeled bathroom, walk-in closet, as well as tall, vaulted ceilings, and back french doors opening onto a rear deck. Past the deck is your bonus space - a converted garage perfect for a home office, gym or potential ADU conversion (buyer to verify). The studio has a large, steel barn door that opens onto an additional outdoor seating area with pergola covered with bougainvillea. The home was completely remodeled in 2019 with updates including: electrical rewire + 200 amp panel, interior and exterior paint, all new windows, copper piping, engineered oak flooring, light fixtures, all new doors, tankless water heater, kitchen, bathrooms, ABS drain pipes, attic insulation, and conversion of fireplace to gas. Ideally located, the property sits just two blocks from the best of York Boulevard: Joy, Donut Friend, Belle's Bagels, the Hermasillo and the local playground. Meticulously maintained by its prior owners, this home is the Highland Park retreat you've been looking for!
