Situated on a quiet cul-de-sac in one of Highland Park's most sought-after residential pockets, this four-bedroom, four-bathroom home welcomes you with a sense of calm and space. Just minutes from the vibrant rhythm of York and Figueroa, life here feels peaceful and tucked away, with greenery visible from nearly every window. Originally configured as a triplex and now thoughtfully unified into a spacious single-family residence, the home blends early Craftsman character with clean architectural updates. Wood textures, metal detailing, and a grounding brick base create a palette that feels both warm and modern. At the center of the ground floor, a newly designed kitchen opens into the dining area, creating a natural place for cooking, gathering, and long meals with friends. Just beyond, a balcony overlooking the garden and distant mountains offers a quiet moment to start the day with coffee and fresh air. A flexible bonus room with its own entrance offers possibilities for a home office or creative studio. Just beside it, a bedroom and bathroom create a comfortable and private area that can work well for guests, extended family, or additional workspace. Outside, the gardens unfold at both the front and back of the home, with terraced levels, fruit trees, a succulent stone garden, and a pergola that invites outdoor dining and relaxed afternoons under the trees. Upstairs, three bedrooms and two bathrooms are arranged around an expansive living room where large windows frame mountain views and surrounding greenery. A second balcony provides another sunny and peaceful place to pause and take in the setting. Recent improvements include new windows, new white oak flooring throughout, solar energy system and tankless water heater , bringing modern comfort and efficiency while preserving the character of this thoughtfully reimagined home in one of Highland Park's most beloved neighborhoods.
