The magic of Mount Washington is alive and well at this 1924 hillside artist cottage. Tucked away on a private street-to-street lot, this hidden 1BR/1BA home offers an abundance of charm and creative touches at every turn. Walking in, you are greeted with beautiful light, vaulted ceilings with exposed trusses, and rich character details like original windows and built-in bookshelves. The easy floor plan nicely connects all the living spaces including the bedroom with its built-out closet and en suite bathroom complete with a vintage clawfoot tub. Circling through the laundry/pantry area, enjoy your handcrafted kitchen with a gorgeous pink Wedgewood stove and ample counter space for dinner parties and entertaining. Outside, enjoy woodfired pizzas in your hand built pizza oven/fireplace, or gardening at your outdoor sink, all on your expansive and verdant terraced lot with raised garden beds, mature plants and trees, and views to the mountains and beyond. Off-street parking and property access can be found at the top of the lot including room to expand with additional structures including an ADU. Enjoy built-out storage under the house and a bonus 200 sf workshop perfect for a home studio or woodshop which makes this home feel much larger than its 750 sf footprint. Located right on the border between Highland Park and Mount Washington just moments from Carla's Market, Sam's Place, and all the best shops, restaurants and nightlife on Figueroa. This one-of-a-kind property is a unique find in one of NELA's best neighborhoods and ready to inspire you daily.
