225 N Avenue 49

If you've been dreaming of a bohemian retreat in Highland Park, this 1928 Spanish bungalow is calling your name. The charming stucco facade, red tile roof, and succulent garden make an irresistible first impression; the front porch is a serene perch for morning coffee. The open layout flows beautifully, a sunny space with wood floors, coved ceilings, and a suite of custom built-ins: a wood credenza for your records, a floor-to-ceiling shelving unit for books and treasures, and a dining banquette. The bright, white kitchen features floating shelves, a capacious pantry, and a pro-grade gas range. Both bedrooms get great light; the hall bathroom with a tub and shower is finished in Moroccan tile. A vibey bonus room with river rock walls and stone floors is perfect as a creative hideaway; a detached bonus structure provides more options for life/work balance. The scenic outdoors offer a myriad of destinations, from a flagstone pergola lounge and raised garden beds, to a hammock perch with hillside views, all set within artful native landscaping. Amenities include HVAC, one-car garage, and laundry. Nearby favorites include Gloria's, Sam's Place, Highly Likely, the Metro, and all things Figueroa.
