Los Angeles mayor Eric Garcetti and his wife Amy Wakeland have generously restored and expanded this serene Echo Park compound, adding more space, eco-friendly features, walls of glass, and plenty of outdoor entertaining areas. From the moment you step onto the property, you will be charmed by this green hillside home.
The open concept living space is surrounded by outdoor patios, has expert wood paneled ceilings, and a double-sided fireplace, creating two separate entertaining areas. And the bountiful light provided by the windows must be seen to be believed.
Enjoy the company of your friends and family as you prepare dinner. The cook’s kitchen has custom cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and opens right onto the living area.
The large first floor bedroom has an en suite sitting area and French doors that open to a private patio.
The spacious bathrooms have been updated with luxurious, modern details, excellent tile work, and beautiful glass bowl vessel sinks.
The floor-to-ceiling glass windows and doorways create an exciting feeling of fine indoor/outdoor Los Angeles living.
From the first outdoor entertaining area to the last, you’ll immediately begin to plan your dinner parties. This semi-covered place is an ideal place for barbecues during the Summer, with its large grill. Or, Winter marshmallow roasting at the lovely stone hearth fireplace.
The upper deck features a unique water fountain, seating area, and a fire pit. It’s the perfect retreat for yoga, reading, or just taking in the lovely Elysian valley views. The backyard also has a sloping vegetable garden and citrus orchard where the Garcettis grew much of their own food. You will fall in love with the peaceful seclusion the Garcetti/Wakeland Residence provides.
