It's a gorgeous and graceful 1905 Craftsman in historic Elysian Park. This house strikes the perfect balance between period charm and modern convenience. The woodwork throughout is truly gorgeous (rich, dark, and warm) and the interior is filled with quaint touches such as wooden pocket doors, lovely and romantic antique light fixtures (downstairs and staircase), a built in hutch and china rails in dining room, wooden ceiling beams in the living room, a window bench with storage space inside in the den, etc.) But the things that you'll want to be contemporary are: the kitchen and both bathrooms were renovated and modernized in 2007 and a new HVAC system with zone controlled central air and HEPA filter were installed in 2010. The home is perched elegantly on an incline off the street, so you can enjoy all the vibrant energy and walkability of Echo Park while maintaining a sense of privacy in your home. Surprisingly, for an old home, there is plenty of closet space (including walk-in closets in all 3 bedrooms). You will love the wide, sweeping front porch in front (neighborhood and downtown views) and the lovely and spacious deck and patio in back, which includes a picnic table and barbecue grill. This is a fabulous space for both dinner parties and brunches. Tangerine mimosas made with fresh squeezed juice from the tree on the property were a huge hit with all our guests! The entire lot is fenced in, so it’s great for kids and/or pets (there is also a doggie door leading from the kitchen to the back area). The landscaping is lovely and includes mature avocado trees in the front yard and Meyer lemon, Bearrs lime, and tangerine in back and a hedge of pink jasmine in the front (gloriously fragrant in springtime). Monthly landscaping is included in the rental price. The home’s foundation is concrete and seismically reinforced (2007). Original electrical and plumbing were also replaced in 2007, and a new was roof added in 2008. The entire interior and exterior have just been freshly painted, and the back patio and deck will be refinished next week.
