Perched above the city with cinematic views, this Echo Park retreat is for the tastemaker who values both vintage character and modern flexibility. This hillside bungalow compound unfolds across two complete levels each with its own kitchen, living, dining, and laundry offering the freedom to evolve with you through every phase of life. The upper level features four bedrooms plus an office, while the lower level offers two bedrooms, an office, and a dressing room. This layout is perfect for multi-generational living, a home studio, or the ultimate guest retreat. Period details like brick archways, built-in cabinetry, colorful tile, and even preserved vintage wallpaper layer warmth and authenticity throughout, while oversized windows frame ever-changing views of the San Gabriel Mountains and Echo Park’s iconic fountains. Outdoors, this property is its own magic garden: mature fruit trees (orange, avocado, apple, fig, lemon, lime, and kumquat), a chicken coop, and multiple patios and lounge spaces under bougainvillea create endless opportunities to gather, play, or unwind. A detached shed currently serves as a gym, adding yet another flexible space, and a tall privacy hedge in the front ensures the home feels like a world apart. On weekends, the location truly shines: stroll up to the Silverlake Flea, grab a sunlit lunch at Honey Hi, circle Echo Park Lake, then settle in for dinner at Men & Beasts or cocktails at Taix, with Donna’s and Lonely Oyster just minutes away. Here, you’re surrounded by the very best of the Eastside while still feeling tucked away in your own private retreat. This property is zoned R2, with additional upgrades including gated tandem parking for two, solar panels, a new exterior sewer line, fresh interior paint, and the convenience of dedicated laundry on both levels. This is quintessential Eastside living: soulful, spacious, and endlessly adaptable, a place to share and entertain, to be the hub for your friends and family for many years to come.
