If you know me, you know I love the “secret staircases” of Los Angeles. I’ve written about my favorites here and here, and probably elsewhere too. They are a reminder of a bygone Los Angeles era when most houses in the hillsides were few and far between the staircases were built to connect residents to the main boulevards below.
This beautiful bungalow is located on the Cove Street steps in Echo Park’s great Elysian Heights neighborhood. The charming two bedroom home was built over 100 years ago, in 1908, and recently underwent a complete renovation including adding new foundation, plumbing, electrical, roof, HVAC, windows, and interiors while maintaining the signature craftsman bungalow style of its era.
The house is now totally turn-key and has multiple options for expansion and/or income generation.
From the dreamy front porch, step inside to a an open concept living area with ample natural light and calming views of the Elysian hillside.
While the home is cozy at 932 square feet, its floor plan and interior design have been maximized to create several distinct spaces for living and dining.
While also seamlessly fitting in a great work space that overlooks the porch and treetops.
The kitchen has ha newer stainless steel appliances, ample counter space and cabinets, and room for a convenient eat-in area.
The primary bedroom has hardwood floors and en suite access to the bathroom.
The bathroom is simple yet stylish with a classic subway tile backsplash and new floorings.
The second bedroom faces the covered porch and the hillside below. It would make an excellent home office or a great landing spot for visiting friends and family in town for the weekend.
A finished laundry room with a sink and storage is located on the lower level.
The lower level also has an unfinished basement that adds potential for expansion with an additional 709 square feet complete with framing, plumbing connection, and windows. Architectural concepts have been drafted for a high-end, lower-level additional dwelling unit; or you can use the space to build a second level and nearly double the square footage of your main home.
On an oversized 7,509 square foot lot, there is tons of space to enjoy nature, maybe add a second dwelling, pool, gardens to hone your green thumb, or a nice terrace to take in the great views.
The property is surrounded by mature trees and expansive views.
Remote and removed, yet in an ideal Elysian Heights location, just down the stairs and the street to Cook Book, and all the great Echo Park Avenue shops and restaurants, 2120 Cove Avenue is a dreamy little slice of paradise.
