1923 Preston Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90026
Tucked into the quiet, verdant hills of Elysian Heights just moments from Sunset Blvd. and Echo Park Ave, this rare offering expresses timeless soul with modern comfort. This 3 bed+loft / 2.75 baths with 2,044 sqft blends beautiful original Craftsman aesthetics with upgraded features. Highlights include owned solar panels, hardwood floors & high ceilings throughout. Set back behind a white picket fence offering added privacy and an unobstructed streetscape (no street-parking on this side). A lush front yard anchors the home with a striking Seco palm as its focal point. Step through the front door to a luminous, airy enclosed front porch, perfect for relaxing. A wide, naturally lit living room creates an inviting space with original hardwood floors. Columns frame the archway leading to the dining room where wooden French doors peer out to flagstone deck - creating indoor/outdoor flow. The open, updated kitchen brings together quartz surfaces, glass-tile backsplashes, tile flooring & a walk-in pantry. On the main floor you’ll find a well-scaled bedroom with access to a full hall bath. Upstairs, a large landing space makes for a wonderful home office/study. The primary suite boasts cathedral ceilings, a gas fireplace, bay windows with shutters, a walk-in closet & spa-like en-suite bath with dual sink vanity & dual shower-heads. The charming third bedroom offers picturesque views, especially at sunset, out to Downtown LA & the surrounding hills. Outdoors, the home delivers a trifecta of spaces including a flagstone terrace spanning the width of the home, a pergola-shaded deck with hot tub & a lower-level paved patio & succulent garden, ringed with mature fruit trees. The detached, intentionally renovated guest house / ADU (no permit) features high ceilings, wood-accent walls, kitchenette, ¾ bath, HVAC wall unit & lofted sleeping area (fits queen). As a creative retreat, rental unit or ancillary studio, it adds remarkable flexibility & value. The basement offers vast storage space & dedicated laundry area, Culligan water softener & updated furnace & water heater. Additional features include a newer roof as of 2023, all interior closets lined with cedar wood & laundry hookups on the main floor of the home. Wonderfully situated in a friendly residential neighborhood in close proximity to local favorites including Canyon Coffee, Bacetti, Valerie & Cookbook Market. Plus easy access to the trails of Elysian Park, Dodger Stadium & Echo Park Lake.
