    What's special

    Next OPEN HOUSE TUESDAY 11am - 2pm! Situated in the coveted hills between Los Feliz and Silver Lake, this charming cottage offers peaceful privacy and a living experience that unfolds beyond the home in a lush private oasis that gradually reveals itself. The front sundeck overlooks neighboring rooftops and the city tableau that lies beyond - a setting for a morning coffee, or an evening glass of wine as the city skylines shimmer in the distance. Inside, hardwood floors, natural light, and preserved architectural details create an immediate sense of warmth. At the heart of the home, the living room opens to city and garden for effortless indoor-outdoor flow, and two generously sized bedrooms are complemented by a beautifully preserved vintage tiled bathroom. The charming kitchen extends through arched openings into a cozy breakfast nook, and the adjacent dining room overlooks the sunny front deck. French doors lead to the private rear patio, where you'll find a lounge area at the patinaed brick fireplace, and an inviting outdoor dining space by the kitchen windows that calls for quiet afternoons or intimate soirees. The landscape of the arising lot by the patio is lush and respectfully manicured, where mature foliages and trees have quietly found their places over decades. Ascending to the property's highest point is the owners' beloved Nest - a secluded sunset lounge situated beneath giant birds of paradise and the sheltering branches of an ancient, knobbly fig tree. The spacious deck of this hidden sanctuary spot feels like a home in itself. Its added bonus features are spectacular twilights and sunset views through the swaying canopy down to the home and to the city lights below. Down at street level, a spacious detached garage, currently used as a workshop for plants and art, offers potential to create a guest studio or ADU (buyer to verify). Moments from the cafes, restaurants, and shops of both Los Feliz and Silver Lake, the hiking trails in Griffith Park, and coveted elementary schools (Franklin & LILA) a short stroll away. This home is a rare find in one of the city's most desirable neighborhoods. First Showing July 12 from 4.30pm to 8pm; Open House Tuesday July 14 from 11am to 2pm; Sat July 18 from 3pm to 5pm; Sunday July 19 from 3pm to 5pm. Please try to make the open houses.
