Welcome to this hip loft-style home located in the trendy neighborhood of Echo Park, just minutes from Downtown Los Angeles. This artfully designed creative Echo Park modern home offers a perfect blend of modern living and creative workspace – making it an ideal live-work scenario.
The property features recent renovations by Bertram Architects, a firm best known for restoring classic midcentury houses, including those designed by Richard Neutra, Craig Ellwood, and more, bringing the best features of this home to the forefront. A contemporary upper level with an open floor plan and bamboo flooring creates a warm and welcoming space that is flooded with natural light. The Euro-style kitchen is ideal for cooking enthusiasts, equipped with polished Carrera marble countertops and a Delonghi range. Craft your favorite meals while enjoying views of the city and treetops beyond. The primary bedroom is beautifully designed with sleek built-in cabinetry and garden views. The adjacent bathroom features an oversized shower and modern design elements.
Nature comes indoors courtesy of floor-to-ceiling Fleetwood sliding glass walls offering views to a private garden from the living room and primary bedroom. An expansive, lush garden extends the interior living space and celebrates Southern California’s indoor/outdoor living.
One of the home’s most unique features is its state-of-the-art custom Sound-Office-Art-Podcast capable studio downstairs, designed by Nonzero\Architecture. This firm has worked with such renowned clients as Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard. The studio addition boasts 12ft ceilings and corrugated metal wall cladding, adding to the industrial loft-style feeling of the space’s design.
This unique property is highlighted by an expansive multi-tiered backyard filled with lush landscaping, sculptural, drought-tolerant plants, multiple seating/dining areas and a custom built-in gas firepit.
Designed by Astrid Sykes of Studio MLA, the outdoor living space becomes an extension of the home and is a versatile canvas perfect for hosting intimate gatherings, personal reflection, or simply basking in the Southern California sun. At the rear of this street-to-alley lot, you’ll find a carport, with room for two cars and a secured motorized gate.
Vista Hermosa Park lives just across the street, where you can enjoy trails, streams and stunning views of the DTLA skyline. Plus, with attractions like Disney Hall, fine dining options, museums, and Staples Center nearby, you’ll have everything you need at your doorstep.
