Welcome to this rare opportunity to live in the bustling District of Melrose, this exquisitely kept mid-century home, offers one bedroom and one bathroom. With it's private east facing view, this unit comes with an open floor plan, updated countertops, fresh paint and newly varnished floors. The space has been thoughtfully designed for both comfort and convenience. Original parquet floors lend warmth and character, while two private, enclosed outdoor areas create rare urban retreats ideal for morning coffee, evening wine, or your four-legged companion (yes, it's pet-friendly!). Enjoy the convenience of an in-unit washer and dryer, and the peace of mind knowing that water, garbage, and gardening services are included. With a Walk Score of 92, you're just a stone's throw away from local favorites like Catch and Community Goods, and within distance of luxury boutiques like Vivienne Westwood. Whether you're looking for a serene hideaway or a stylish retreat in one of LA's most favorable neighborhoods, 642 1/2 N La Jolla Ave offers an unforgettable experience. Please Note that the unit comes unfurnished and some photos have been virtually staged.
