Discover a rare opportunity to experience authentic countryside living in the heart of Echo Park within a historic Los Angeles landmark property. Perched atop scenic Elysian Heights, this enchanting country-style bungalow sits on a private 4-acre rural parcel adjacent to the 600+ acre Elysian Park, offering a serene lifestyle rarely available in the city. Part of the Atwater Bungalows, designated Historic-Cultural Monument HCM #1241, this two-story home blends bucolic charm, vintage character, and modern comforts in a truly unique environment.
The main level welcomes you with a warm foyer and a pastoral, retro-chic kitchen featuring a dishwasher, brushed copper countertop and hood, farmhouse sink, and a classic vintage gas range. The inviting living room showcases wide hillside views framed by abundant greenery and a cozy wood-burning stove. Two bedrooms and a full bathroom complete the upper level.
Descending the staircase, you’ll find two exceptionally spacious bedrooms—one ideal as an entertainment room—featuring a built-in bar and a hidden in-floor wine cellar designed to maintain optimal wine temperature. A beautifully renovated bathroom with a stylish tiled shower sits between the bedrooms. A separate laundry area with washer and dryer completes the downstairs layout.
Oversized windows throughout both levels flood the home with natural light, hillside scenery, and even distant ocean views, seamlessly merging outdoor beauty with chic farmhouse aesthetics. Outdoor living is unmatched, with wrap-around decks, two patios, two gardens, and a swing and slide—perfect for family enjoyment, entertaining guests, outdoor dining, or savoring a sunset with a glass of wine. The preserved original hardwood floors elevate the home’s timeless character.
As an added bonus, a large attic converted into a loft offers a versatile space for a game room, creative studio, or office. Close to Echo Park’s beloved restaurants and cafés, this extraordinary historic bungalow captures the essence of country living in the big city.
