Description
Tucked behind a private wooden gate in the hills of Echo Park, 2123 Branden welcomes you into an expansive compound where classic Spanish architecture meets a serene, resort-like garden retreat. Set on a generous 7,460 square foot lot, the property offers a rare sense of space and privacy in the heart of the neighborhood. A staircase leads to the main home, where original Spanish details set the tone; curved archways, a statement fireplace, and a warm, light-filled living and dining room reflect the home's timeless architecture. Two bedrooms and a hall bath anchor this charming front portion of the home. Beyond, a spacious kitchen opens to a fully permitted addition designed as a tranquil retreat. Soaring ceilings, skylights, and high windows fill the space with natural light, creating an airy atmosphere reminiscent of a Balinese estate. An additional family room and expansive primary suite both open through double French doors directly to the garden, blurring the line between indoors and out. The primary suite features a walk-in closet and a beautifully appointed en-suite bath finished in Venetian plaster with wood accents. Outdoors, the property becomes an enchanting oasis with multiple seating and dining areas woven throughout mature landscaping, lush succulents, and towering birds of paradise. A hot tub and lounge area invite relaxation, along with two outdoor dining spaces. Set within the garden is a charming one-room bungalow with a lofted sleeping area, ideal as a studio, office, or creative retreat. Nearby, the second dining area includes an outdoor kitchenette with sink and mini refrigerator, creating a secluded gathering spot surrounded by greenery. At street level, additional flexible space offers even more possibilities. With its own separate entrance, this one-bedroom unit includes a kitchen, bathroom, generous living and work area, and sleeping alcove. Spacious and versatile, it works beautifully as a guest suite, creative studio, workspace, or even a private music studio. Thoughtfully set apart from the main residence, it adds another layer of uses and possibilities to this unique compound. A detached storage garage and parking for up to four cars provide rare convenience. Private, versatile, and filled with character, this distinctive property offers a tranquil retreat in the heart of Echo Park.
