This thoughtfully restored space is part of a newly formed Tenants-in-Common community. Positioned on the upper level of a 1920s-era building, the interior unfolds, revealing glimpses of a bygone era, giving way to modern living. Covetable features include custom-built cabinetry made of white oak, honed Calacatta Viola countertops, and windows with replicated, machine-drawn glass that filters a spectacular painterly light throughout the day. Outside, you’ll enjoy a considered garden of your own. Located in Angelino Heights, a historic neighborhood of Echo Park, the property is moments away from popular cafés, restaurants, and boutiques.
The House Tour
Located in the same building as this space, the home begins with walled-in front gardens shaded by mature olive trees and adorned with a pathway of ORCA tile leading to the front door. The apartment opens to an internal staircase reaching a landing where display shelves and built-in cabinets are lit by a skylight. Windows with replicated machine-drawn glass punctuate the open living room and dining area, allowing leafy views of the olive trees below and streams of afternoon light that cast wavy reflections across the space.
When the windows are open, a delicate cross breeze fills the interior, sometimes accompanied by birds singing as they linger in the branches of the olive trees. There’s a small office off the living room. Dubbed the ‘Zoom Room’, it’s useful for Zoom calls, self-taping, and creative endeavors.
A striking focal point from the living and dining area is the honed Calacatta Viola slab, which lines the kitchen counters alongside a Bertazzoni range. Cleverly arranged, the U-shaped kitchen features roman clay, a wall of floor-to-ceiling custom white oak cabinetry, an integrated Fisher & Paykel refrigerator, and a deVOL and Perrin & Rowe faucet. It holds all your kitchenware and has a display shelf for your Hasami collection.
The bedrooms and bathroom are located off the center hall. Vertically placed tile covers the bathroom walls, and a custom vanity with drawers and open shelves for storage sits above. Opposite the bathroom is a tall linen closet. A series of storage spaces wraps the rear door with a run of closets continuing into the main bedroom. Wall-to-wall restored casement windows frame the city and distant palm-tree-lined and mountain views against the backdrop of LA’s pink skies.
Rear gardens, designed to foster the community spirit of a TIC, provide each owner with individual outdoor space. The gently terraced gardens are surrounded by mature olive and fruit trees, star jasmine, white gaura, westringia smokey shrubs, lavender, rosemary, some sage, and Cecile Brünner climbing rose, creating a wonderful aromatic cluster of both fragrant and culinary medicinal herbs. Four single-car garages complete the street-to-alley property.
