Set behind a lush garden of mature native plantings, this reimagined 1920 California bungalow feels like a private retreat in the heart of Highland Park. A welcoming front porch gives way to warm, light-filled interiors, where hardwood floors and abundant windows create an easy sense of openness throughout. The living and dining spaces flow naturally into a recently remodeled kitchen, bright and considered with updated cabinetry, marble, and appliances. The 1,041 sq ft main house offers two bedrooms, a full bath, and a flexible bonus room, ideal as a home office or additional guest space, all within a thoughtful, well-proportioned layout. The connection to the outdoors continues in the terraced backyard, where mature landscaping surrounds a series of intimate spaces for dining, gathering, or simply spending time outside. An upper terrace rises above the garden, offering views across the neighborhood. A detached 240 sq ft finished garage, complete with insulation, drywall, and a mini-split, adds another layer of flexibility as a studio, office, gym, or creative retreat. Just north of York Boulevard and moments from some of Highland Park's most beloved shops, cafes, and restaurants, this is a rare blend of original character, thoughtful updates, and creative possibility in one of Northeast LA's most loved neighborhoods.
