Property Description

That New New! Reimagined California Bungalow in Highland Park! Hidden in a charming nook just steps from the lively pulse of one of LA's most beloved neighborhoods, this newly redesigned 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom open-concept gem checks every box with ease. Originally built in 1947 and meticulously redesigned in 2024 by emerging designer Shufu Home, this upgraded home strikes a perfect balance between timeless architecture and contemporary allure. A modern take on the picket fence frames the property, surrounded by California native, drought-tolerant landscaping that invites you to leave the city's noise behind and embrace the tranquility of nature. The soft adobe palette and the gentle soundtrack of birdsong make this home a rare, peaceful retreat. Step into an open-concept space where natural light flows effortlessly from room to room.

Designer touches elevate both the bedrooms and bathrooms with playful pops of energy like the checkered Cle tiles that bring a stylish edge to the shower's clean, minimalist surround. The newly added primary suite is a private sanctuary, featuring character French doors that open to the serene backyard. The spa-like en-suite bathroom exudes a quiet luxury, with saguaro and white terrazzo Zia tiles setting a sophisticated tone. A large picture window in the shower frames views of mature California pepper and a Japanese maple tree, blurring the lines between indoor elegance and outdoor beauty. Outside, discover quintessential California living at its finest. Multiple outdoor spaces designed for lounging, al fresco dining, and gardening seamlessly extend the home's footprint, making this the perfect setting for intimate gatherings or quiet times for self reflection. Thoughtfully placed railroad ties and boulder stones create a rustic, zen-like oasis that invites you to slow down and savor the moment.
