1920s bungalow on Highland Park stair street asking $785K

The dwelling was built in 1921.

Looking worse for wear in old listing photos, this 1921 bungalow in Highland Park was resuscitated within the past couple of years.

In its 1,146 square feet, it holds two bedrooms and two bathrooms, plus a bonus room that can serve as an office or studio.

Features include arched entryways, oak floors, a fireplace, and French doors in the living room, dining room, and master suite. The living areas blend together, aided by a kitchen island with bar seating.

There’s also some outdoor space in the rear, where the washer and dryer are located.

Perched above Avenue 54, along the Granada Stairs, 5335 Granada Street also boasts some pretty hilltop views and is walking distance to the cafes, bars, and restaurants on Figueroa Street. It’s listed at $785,000.

The living areas have an open floor plan.
There are French doors throughout, including in the dining room.
The kitchen sports new appliances, cabinets, and tile.
The master bedroom opens to the patio.
The lot is small, measuring a compact 2,300 square feet.
The home is perched above the street, providing nice hillside views from the front yard.

I know in 1921 they didn’t worry about doing laundry outside or where the hell do you put cars, but in 2019 that’s a real interest. I will say the house is a beautiful transformation of what was, but I’m just not up for walking a 1000 stairs from my car to my house with 4 bags of groceries. Pass

Definitely seems overpriced, considering all that… but could be appealing to younger couples looking for a home in a hip and walkable neighborhood.

At the very least, you’d have some tight glutes walking up and down those stairs multiple times a day, hehe.

Well maybe until you have to carry that new sofa all the way up to your house, ugh!

"Walkable"? Every neighborhood is "walkable" unless you are an amputee

Also, everything is relative. Relative to most neighborhoods, this neighborhood is more walkable.

Highland Park is very hilly. Who came up with this idiotic "walkable" phrase anyway?

You’d save a lot on a gym membership though, wouldn’t need one with all those stairs.

A perfect Air B-N-B for sherpas.

sherpas = human mountain goats

Not my cup of tea but that’s going to sell fast. Even at that price. Too close to Home State and the Gold Line!

And Cookbook, Hippo, Tripple Beam Pizza, etc…….what a shame John Galliano put the kibosh on locating the Maison Margiela flagship in the old Frank’s Camera building and then the subsequent backing out of Rose Bakery.

Yeah, huge bummer, it won’t be as convenient for the locals to buy these amazing Maison Margiela shoes. https://www.saksfifthavenue.com/maison-margiela-leather-fusion-low-top-runners/product/0400098749626

Yeah, who wants to go clear over to Beverly Hills to buy shoes?

It would have been fantastic. OG locals still have the OG Forever 21 and more upscale new locals would have had Maison Margiela. While we are lucky to have Mohawk General Store in Silver Lake even we don’t have a Maison Margiela flagship! If we are ever going to cure our planet’s ills we are all going to need to shop as local as possible. Of course the cool thing about Margiela is that while it is well cut and made out of quality fabric and is thus on the expensive side for some it doesn’t LOOK expensive. That seems like just the right style for a transitioning neighborhood such as Highland Park.

Yes, of course! Because the key to being a trendy upscale hipster is wearing clothes that your trendy upscale hipster friends know is expensive, but will fly under the radar for people who are less affluent than you and your friends, and wear less expensive clothes because they have to!

* Sigh *, being wealthy AND trendy is like a full time responsibility. Then when you add influencer to the mix it almost becomes overwhelming

I just don’t know how some people handle it all

The shoes look like someone shot their load on them

Forever 21 is unremarkable as is Silver Lake in general

However that’s what happens when you can’t afford BH, Hollywood Hills, Brentwood, Venice, Santa Monica, etc.

Seems like gross running shoes from the 90’s are all the rage in the streetwear fashion world… I just don’t get it!

You and me both.

Only the second house up front the bottom. I wouldn’t mind. The washer/dryer outside? Seems as if they could fit in that "work room" somehow. The stretched pics are, as usual, a bit misleading.

Seems way too pricey for a place with no parking. The stairs are quaint in a classic L.A. way but most people would want more convenient access.

you see, the key is "most people" in your statement. This is a lovely and very unique home that would be ideal for the right person who doesn’t value "convenient access" and values other things in life.

This home is within easy walking distance to the very best of the new upscale Highland Park plus the Metro Gold Line. It is a steal at $785k. Being able to walk to Cookbook for one’s daily marketing is enough on its own to make this home’s location supremely desirable.

Highland Park is massively overrated and you’re not going to be walking up and down all those stairs with grocery bags, lady
