:: Eastside Folk Victorian, circa 1904 :: Victorian soul with modern ease. This three-bedroom, two-bath home is a rare offering that combines rich historic character with updated systems, conveniences and a sparkling pool. A lush garden with a mature mesquite tree greets you, providing a shaded path and dappled light across the wood clapboard siding. The home has beautiful symmetry, spindle-work, decorative brackets, double-hung windows, and a dramatic tall facade that feels grand yet comfortable and inviting. A full-width covered porch is perfect for morning coffee, an evening glass of wine, or a spontaneous wave to neighbors. Inside, the volume is pure Victorian with twelve-foot high ceilings. While the home has A/C the volume creates natural climate control. The main living areas feel airy and generous, while wood moulding, a period fireplace, and an intentional color palette keep the rooms grounded and cozy. The living spaces flow easily into one another, ideal for entertaining. The kitchen is designed for cooking, featuring a convenient U-shaped layout, ample storage and natural light.

You're just blocks from Belvedere Park and numerous shops and restaurants, including famed Carnitas El Momo. East LA College, the Vincent Price Art Museum, and the shopping in Monterey Park are nearby, while Lil' East Coffee, Lil' Bottle shop in El Sereno + hot spots of Highland Park are an easy drive.
