Property Description

'The Drake House' is a City of LA designated Historic Property. This lovely 3 bedroom house was the first to be built in the area and boasts many original features, including sash and case windows, door hardware, claw foot tub, and working skeleton key door locks. The house is surrounded by outdoor living spaces including a wraparound porch and a raised front yard. The side yard features the cold cellar / California basement access. A 35-year old grape vine, which yields pounds of fruit, completes the side yard and opens to an expansive backyard with a brick pathway through fruit trees, including fig, plum, lemon, and cherimoya and whimsically landscaped cactus. A newer large storage shed can be used for gardening tools or to create a s/he-shed. The backyard also features a detached carriage house with the original kick-out to accommodate a horse drawn 'vehicle'. The garage has 220 volt electricity for power tools, a band, or to charge your electric vehicle. In front of the carriage house is an extra-large carport which is perfect for hosting a party or your new socially distanced hobbies. The home qualifies for the Mills Act, adding to the attraction of this property. Within the 22 years of ownership, the foundation, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, roofing and water heater have all been upgraded. New paint inside and out, kitchen refreshed, floors refinished, this one-of-a-kind home is clean, beautiful and move-in ready.Make this NELA Gem your home.
