LOCALLA

Contemporary, architectural single-family home in hip Historic Filipinotown. Featured in Architectural Digest, this three-bedroom, two-bath home features functional and intentional design. Set in a neighborhood where Craftsman bungalows are the dominant building type, the modernist design offers a beautiful contrast and feels straight from the pages of Dwell Magazine. Ten foot ceilings and expansive floor to ceiling windows create an airy space, making the home feel larger than it is. Professional interior designer Melanie Burstin Design recently refreshed the home, embracing the clean lines and minimalist aesthetic while creatively adding storage. In the kitchen, expansive wood built-ins for ample pantry space and banquette seating with an adjoining coffee station were added. While the banquette seating creates a cozy option, there is still ample room for a large dining table. Leading out from the kitchen is access to a private backyard with low maintenance gravel, tall Podocarpus hedges, and a citrus tree. A double height staircase leads you upstairs to three bedrooms and a bathroom. The light-filled, spacious bedrooms feature ample storage with either large built-ins or walk-in closets. The home suits eco-conscious buyers with energy-efficient construction, rain-catching barrels, and many low-water-use plants. The driveway comfortably fits multiple cars, and one section is covered. The home is an urbanist's dream with many restaurants, cafes, parks and transit nearby. Only a few blocks from Doubting Thomas, Woon, Gra, Laveta, Clark Street Baker, Henrietta, and Echo Park Lake. It offers easy access to freeways, Downtown LA, and fun east side neighborhoods. It is rare to find a well-designed newer construction in a central and coveted area of LA for this price!
