This enchanting Mount Washington Craftsman California Bungalow feels like a private retreat while centrally located around all the best that Northeast LA has to offer. You are welcomed to a sun-splashed foyer that leads to an expansive living/ dining area with white-oak hardwood floors, original brick decorative fireplace and picturesque mountain views through beautifully refurbished double-hung windows. Adjacent to the dining, the most charming galley-style kitchen awaits with warm elements, stainless-steel appliances, ample storage, and the cutest breakfast nook where your eyes just gaze into the stunning corner views. You'll awake to the morning sun from the two generous-sized rooms on the main floor, one corner with windows galore and the other with an ensuite bath with a clawfoot tub. Moroccan tile exudes style in the full hallway bath. Sizable laundry room with side-by-side Samsung front loaders brings you a dreamy backyard oasis perfectly laid out with a multi-tiered wood deck that fills the entire space, truly an entertainer's delight! Enjoy al fresco brunch/ dinner parties, hosting BBQs and enjoying smores around the fire-pit, you'll never want to leave home. Plant your favorite garnishes in the plantar boxes throughout and a 1-car garage for additional storage or an art/ hobby space. There is an entire lower level that could be used as a 3rd bedroom, work-from-home office/ studio space with modern built-in custom desk and shelving or have a home gym you've always wanted. Located within Mt. Washington Elementary School lines and just minutes from dining, shopping, multiple parks (walking distance to Cleland Park) it's the perfect home for those who enjoy both the city living and the nature's calm serenity. This is California living at its best.
