Property Description

Quintessential 1914 Echo Park bungalow on a secluded flag lot with over 11,000 sq ft of abundant nature. A perfect layout for those needing a versatile space for work or creative endeavors; the original 2 bed/1 bath home offers 829 sq ft of living space, while the permitted bonus room and bathroom (attached, with a separate entrance) is almost 400 sq ft. An additional 110 sq ft. office rounds out the living space while an expansive attic (not included in sq footage) presents a potential opportunity for expansion. Rich with turn of the century details, yet modernized for today's living, 1706 Morton Avenue is an escape in the middle of the city. This rare offering is full of character: original wood floors, built-ins and a charming picture window with custom bench seating can be seen as you enter. Both upstairs bedrooms feature antique moldings and wood-framed vistas. The Jack-and-Jill bathroom has a clawfoot tub flanked by raw wood details. The kitchen opens directly to the expansive backyard, an idyllic setting for meals with loved ones, outdoor lounging, or cultivating your own garden. Loquat and citrus trees, hummingbirds, jasmine, and a sweeping lush hillside make this a true east side retreat. Weekends are a breeze with countless options nearby not requiring the use of a car. At the top of the street, find miles of trails in majestic Elysian Park. Just beyond the park, you have Dodger Stadium, where you might become a regular or at least enjoy the annual fireworks. At the bottom of the street lies the heart of Echo Park: Canyon Coffee, Cookbook, and Bacetti, to name a few. With Sunset Blvd shops and bars, and the iconic Echo Park Lake just down the road, this is a truly special home in an equally special location.
