452 holland avenue

Welcome to Holland Avenue! A quiet street tucked away in the hills of Highland Park with easy access to the best of both Figueroa and York Boulevards. This airplane bungalow, built in 1910, is filled with charm and character and comes with an entry-level price that allows access into one of Los Angeles’ hippest neighborhoods. Well-maintained by the same family for decades, this home feels like love from the moment you step through the original door and into the airy space, with its warm, wood tones and bamboo flooring. Classic features like the brick fireplace and spacious, covered patio harken back to an older Highland Park, where time moved slowly and deliberately. Beautiful views meet you at most windows and especially from the back patio, which invites you in with its tranquility, mountain views and luscious green space. The terraced garden is a treat, already beautiful with California natives, while still brimming with possibility. Many fruit trees dot the property, including a pomegranate tree in the front yard. Three bedrooms line the hallway, plus a bonus sunroom at the front of the house, perfect for a home office or reading room. The bright bathroom comes with cement tile flooring and newer shower tile, while the sunny kitchen boasts new appliances, granite countertops, white cabinetry and space for a breakfast table, where you can gaze out the back window at your beautiful view while sipping your morning coffee in gratitude. A set of stairs behind the kitchen leads to a basement with built-in shelving and almost 600 square feet of flex space, perfect for a gym, crafting area, workshop or storage. There is no garage but driveway parking can fit multiple cars. This home also boasts many modern upgrades, including a new roof, updated cooper plumbing and recent termite tenting. Beyond the good bones and zen-like space, Holland Avenue’s ideal location keeps you near the bustling parts of the neighborhood while also sheltering you from them in a hilltop hideaway you’ll be proud to call your own. Come make it yours today!
