Swanky sprawling 3-story townhouse in the heart of Echo Park. Just under 2000 square feet... 3 bed 3 bath of modern luxury, built with massive earthquake reinforcement and quality construction. Or, for the same price you could buy a bungalow half the size with deferred maintenance that needs a total remodel. My vote... take the plug and play luxury and peace of mind. This masterfully designed split level floor plan has great separation of space... kitchen, living and dining on the top level, a large primary with en suite bath and adjoining den/library in the middle and on the lower level are two additional bedrooms with jack and jill bathroom and a large laundry room. The result delivers generous gathering spaces and multiple private suites to retreat for solitude. Immediate views center on the charm of the Echo Park hamlet... longer views include the San Bernadino mountains to the North and Downtown LA to the Southeast. Lovely natural light, open floor plan, large rooms, high ceilings and 3 separate balconies are a few of the key features. The lower level has a separate exterior entrance. This can be used for a growing family, guest suites, in-law suite or income rental. The owner has used for all of the above and will share details. This is a very well designed home that feels much larger than the actual footprint. Parking in Echo Park? Not a problem here... you have a huge driveway and 2-car garage so dinner parties are easy on your guests. Daily routine does not involve driving around in search of parking. Newly renovated interior features white oak hardwood floors, clean modern lines, new kitchen and bath tile, modern fixtures...a supremely relaxing retreat in the midst of the city and minutes from just about everything. The best location in Echo Park... you are steps from all that makes Echo Park the most sought after neighborhood in L.A., including Valerie, Cookbook, Echo Park Lake and Elysian Park. A short walk takes you to Sunset Boulevard restaurants, cocktail lounges, music venues and shopping. A brisk 20 minute walk and you're at Dodger Stadium. This is the center of the most vibrant ecosystem in Los Angeles.
