Lately I’ve been tinkering around with the idea of buying a mountain lodge in Big Bear and opening a restaurant. Or shop. Or inn. Or saloon. I don’t know! So when this Craftsman cabin came on the market yesterday I saw my dreams being realized right in front of me. Only in Echo Park, and for one of my friends, and minus the restaurant and saloon part. Well, sort of minus the restaurant and saloon part because I’d definitely want to serve drinks and dinner at this unique cabin in the hills. I mean, I certainly want you to serve drinks and dinner and invite me over! This place is that dreamy. It’s the kind of house that makes your imagination run wild.
Built in 1914, the house is perched at the edge of Elysian Heights. You enter through not one but three separate gates to discover this perfectly preserved Bohemian bungalow.
Inside you’re greeted with gorgeous original woodwork everywhere, a stone fireplace, hardwood floors, nearly wall-to-wall windows, and plenty of bright light. Really, stepping inside 2470 Echo Park Avenue immediately feels like you’re transported out of Los Angeles to a simpler time and place.
Office space? Kids room? Artists studio? All up to you!
Or maybe this could be your office? The bonus spaces in this house are real treats.
The sun room /sleeping porch has sweeping vistas of the San Gabriel mountains.
A formal yet cozy dining room is the perfect place to share a bottle of pinot and relax with friends and family.
The light filled eat-in kitchen features all the upgrades while maintaining its vintage vibe. I mean, just check out that big barn sink.
The first floor boasts a spacious bedroom.
And a bath with a clawfoot tub and beautiful tile backsplash.
A second level bedroom, bath, sitting room, workshop/study and utility room round out the interior details.
Oh, wait, here’s your artist’s studio.
The rear deck leads to a patio and terraced garden with a lower lawn.
The front deck wraps around a large oak tree that connects the home to a one car garage. The house is quite literally nestled under a canopy of native oak.
Imagine happy days and happier nights at the cabin. You may not be in Big Bear, but living here might feel like a permanent vacation. You could spend all day day dreaming about it.
