1742 Kent St

Perched above Echo Park Lake, this 1933 Spanish home features both amazing views (including snow capped mountains, the Griffith Observatory, and the Hollywood sign) and an interior filled with top-notch updates for the most discerning buyer. With an eye towards the original architecture, this 2 bedroom 2 bath home (with a bonus renovated studio plus bath) has been lovingly brought to perfection with no expense spared. Impeccable details include: a chef's kitchen with a Wolf range; a massive, brand new master bath with hand-laid tile and Carrara marble; a completely redone guest bath with custom Italian tiles created by a local Echo Park artisan; a 350+ bottle wine cellar in the large basement; and recently refinished original peg-and-groove hardwood floors. The fully renovated, detached studio with polished cement floors and a full bath features a designer sink from Germany. The huge courtyard is the perfect space to relax and entertain, or to enjoy a morning coffee from Blue Bottle (soon to open in walking distance). With a 2 car garage in the back that includes a separate and direct garden entrance to the courtyard, this gorgeous home is the one you've been waiting for. Echo Park's recent renaissance has brought with it some of the best new eateries (Ostrich Farm, Kush, the yet-to-be-named Petit Trois addition) cafes (Dinette, Valerie Confection) and a revamped Echo Park Lake complete with the recently opened Square One at the Boathouse. Come be a part of this thriving neighborhood.
