Unspoiled detail abounds in this lovingly restored Craftsman Icon. Built in 1913 by local developer EW Fortune for his own personal use, this historic retreat contains amazingly preserved appointments, such as original wood built-ins, brick fireplaces with wooden mantles, a claw foot tub, leaded glass cabinetry, and even an original, fully functional built-in trundle-bed for guests. Although legally a single family residence, this masterpiece began its life as a duplex, and is currently being used as such. The upper unit contains an enclosed sun room/office, as well as a magnificent deck off of the kitchen. This elevated space is perfect for al fresco dining, contemplating the rustle of the wind through the trees, or just sipping coffee while pondering the courtyard below. The shaded rear yard has raised garden beds, a sitting area covered by mature trees, a dog run, and a private studio, perfect for yoga, art, music, or a home gym. Centered in the tranquil Garvanza District of Highland Park, this home has a walkscore of 82, and sits within minutes of Downtown LA, as well as hot spots in South Pasadena, and ultra-cool eateries along York, and Figueroa such as Highland Park Bowl, Hippo, Joy, and Goldburger. Come and see why this hideaway along the Arroyo is the retreat within the city that everyone’s looking for.
