This mid-century retreat offers a peaceful escape in the Highland Park hills, blending classic style with a cozy, cabin-y vibe. Greeted by the large 2-car garage, up the stairs, past the garden fence, to the brick landing. Inside, comfort and warm touches abound. Wood floors throughout, as well as beamed ceilings. The sitting room, with its Roman Clay fireplace, and chunky mantle created from salvaged Red Oak, set the stage, while large windows offer views of the surrounding lush greenery and hillside. The kitchen, impressively illuminated by skylight, flows into the dining area, ideal for gatherings or quiet time at home. The laundry area, located off the kitchen, leads to a convenient separate access to the driveway. Boasting a spacious open floor plan, with the always desirable layout of a comfy-haven primary with en-suite, separated from the other two bedrooms by the living room in between. All three bedrooms come with cedar-lined closets, the home is serviced by a water softener system provides for delicious soft-water sudsy bathing, and all bedrooms overlook gardens. The living room opens onto the generous back patio for easy breezy indoor-outdoor enjoyment. The large backyard, easily accessible with inviting entrances from both sides of the property. Outside, a dreamy 17,938 sq ft lot brims with possibilities. That patio, perfect for dining al fresco, and so many areas to cultivate into gardens, taking in the delights of nature, indulge in whatever hobbies one can think of! The garage provides further opportunity to convert into a studio or workshop. Mature trees frame the driveway, adding touches of seclusion to this playful paradise. This home, and its plentiful lot, balances tranquility with vibrant neighborhood energy. Shops, restaurants, entertainment venues, freeways and hiking are all nearby.
