Updated Highland Park Spanish-style with a detached studio seeks $720K

From the playfully tiled steps to the multi-level outdoor spaces, this two-bedroom house in Highland Park is worth a closer look.

Built in 1928, the 1,020-square-foot residence features coved ceilings and rounded doorways. In the updated kitchen, there’s a stainless steel farmhouse sink and a crisp white subway tile backsplash.

There’s also a slim but ample front porch and a detached garage that abuts the street, offering the opportunity for a work space removed from the main residence. Another possible workspace is the detached studio-type structure shares the lot with the house and several terraced outdoor areas.

Last sold in 2009 for $255,002, the asking price now is $720,000.
