1406 Cerro Gordo Street, Los Angeles, 90026

Perched high in Elysian Heights and set within a rare 4-acre rural enclave, this enchanting 1920s adobe bungalow is part of the historic Atwater Bungalows, designated Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument #1241. Quietly tucked away at the end of a rustic private cul-de-sac, the home offers unmatched tranquility with sweeping panoramic views of Hollywood, Burbank, Echo Park, and Silver Lake from its rooftop deck and adjoining patios.

Meticulously restored, the residence features newly refinished hardwood floors, updated electrical and plumbing systems, and impeccably preserved period fixtures, including authentic mica lighting. The inviting living room showcases a working Kiva/Hopi fireplace framed by alcoves, while both bedrooms include generous walk-in closets. A charming breakfast nook, dedicated laundry/pantry room, and discreet rustic staircase—hidden behind French doors—provide access to the expansive rooftop deck.

Modern comfort blends seamlessly with historic integrity thanks to a tastefully integrated central HVAC system. The property also offers abundant storage with a cellar, basement, and two single-car garages, one thoughtfully converted into a work or artist studio.

As sunset washes over the thick adobe walls, hand-harvested vigas, and turquoise window frames, it becomes easy to forget you’re minutes from Downtown LA, Echo Park, Silver Lake, and Los Feliz. This extraordinary home provides a truly rural experience in the heart of the city, complete with private horse stables, an acre-wide backyard, direct access to Elysian Park’s hiking trails, and space for organic gardens and fruit orchards. A rare opportunity for anyone seeking solitude, nature, history, and character in a one-of-a-kind hillside retreat.
