Overview

Now presented at $1,375,000! Nestled in Herman, a small artful pocket adjacent to Montecito Heights and Highland Park, this five-tiered property is not only a soulful retreat and a creative haven, but it's also located only 5 miles from downtown L.A. Every inch of this property has been thoughtfully and artfully transformed, with over $450k invested. What used to be a dirt hillside slope was turned into a multi-layered backyard oasis, and inside a fully remodeled kitchen, bathrooms, upgraded lighting and so much more. Practical additions include (but not limited to) a whole house water filtration system, high quality balcony shades, custom window coverings, a soundproof studio room, an additional outdoor storage shed and an EV vehicle charging station. Playful touches include (but also not limited to) custom light switch and electrical covers, towel racks shaped like hands, giant googly eyes overseeing the yard, and a disco ball (to add sparkle to your backyard entertaining, naturally)! Enjoy sweeping views from both front balconies and the top garden terrace, while direct access to Debs Park keeps you steps from nature and hiking trails. With three bedrooms (one lofted) and a soundproof studio, it’s ideal for living, creating, and connecting. A custom fine art piece will be gifted to the next steward, thanking you for caring for this lovingly curated world. Whether you work from home, downtown, at LAUSD, or nearby colleges or travel to different East LA hubs, this colorful, inspiring legacy awaits you.
