Built in 1994, this modern storybook Victorian is a rare expression of craftsmanship, scale, and enduring design. Built by the owner and meticulously maintained over the years, this character home reflects a true pride of ownership, now refreshed with new paint, new carpeting, and beautifully refinished hardwood floors. Spanning approximately 2,906 square feet across three levels, the main residence offers five bedrooms and three bathrooms, thoughtfully composed to balance openness with moments of privacy. A sense of character unfolds from the moment you enter, where large stained glass windows at the entry and rising along the staircase cast shifting light and color throughout. Rich hardwood floors anchor the living spaces, adding warmth and continuity to the home's architectural detail. A detached oversized, double-height two-car garage is crowned by a 660 square foot ADU with loft, offering flexibility for guests, extended living, or income potential-seamlessly integrated yet privately set apart. A 710 square foot finished basement, along with an adjacent storage/workshop space, further expands the home's overall footprint and functionality. The primary suite is a true retreat-anchored by a fireplace, with a wall of windows framing DTLA views that can be enjoyed from the in-suite tub. A private veranda extends just beyond, offering a quiet, elevated outdoor escape. Outdoors, a charming backyard with mature grapevines invites relaxed gatherings and seasonal beauty, while the expansive front porch sets the tone for connection and everyday ease. Positioned on a quiet cul-de-sac, the setting offers a rare sense of calm within the city. Located in a prime Highland Park pocket just moments from Pasadena and DTLA, this home is surrounded by a vibrant culture-rich community known for its creativity and long-term value, A home defined by space, flexibility and lifestyle-designed to evolve with you over time.
