    What's special

    Character and curb appealOversized lotCustom tile backsplashLarge sunny denHigh ceilingsLarge upgraded kitchenBuilt-in dining area
    Prime opportunity in Highland Park! This 1905 Transitional Craftsman on an oversized lot has been renovated as a hip 6 Bedroom, 6 Bath co-living house. Sited above the street behind an attractive redwood fence and drought tolerant landscaping, the property offers character and curb appeal. Inside, updates include newer flooring, finishes and fixtures throughout its six bedrooms, six bathrooms, kitchen/dining room and den. The first of the public rooms is a large upgraded kitchen with stone countertops, custom tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances and generous laundry area accommodating 2 washers and 2 dryers. With an oversize butcher block island boasting endless storage, there's space for multiple cooks in this kitchen! This space is airy and open, with high ceilings and loads of natural light. The kitchen's built-in dining area is comfortable as a dining area, with a large sunny den immediately adjacent. With doors on both sides opening to the front garden and backyard, this room is a favorite common space. Talk about potential -- the sky's the limit is this backyard -- raised bed homestead/farm on the 10,109 SF lot, perhaps? With three bedrooms downstairs and three upstairs, all boasting natural light and leafy views, each with an en-suite 3/4 bath, this 2,771 SF residence affords endless options. The property is ideal for co-living housing, treatment facilities, as a long term rental or conversion back to a single family home. Zoned LARD2, with three garages in the backyard, the property has been approved for the construction of up to eight additional units and may offer further development options. Located just north of the Arroyo Seco in hopping Highland Park, the property is just a few blocks from favorite spots like Highly Likely, Kinship Yoga, Highland Park Bowl and 1/2 mile from the Highland Park Metro Station, this location and neighborhood is desirable today and will be for years to come.
