847 E Kensington Rd

Nestled atop the historic neighborhood of Angelino Heights, 847 E. Kensington offers access to the best of LA from the cozy comfort of a restored early-1900s home. Upon entering the front gate you will find a beautifully landscaped front yard, perfect for entertaining or quiet relaxation. The front porch has plenty of room for outdoor lounging and/or dining alfresco. This post-Victorian home exudes vintage charm with modern sensibilities. The American Foursquare design provides optimal room for modern life with little wasted space. The first floor features a traditional kitchen with recently updated appliances (range, refrigerator, dishwasher and washer/dryer), a bathroom (with shower), and a period dining room with built-in cabinetry that opens up to the living room separated by working pocket doors. Up the stairs lie three spacious bedrooms, a bonus office room, and a second bathroom (with a tub and walk-in shower). Two bedrooms have cedar closets. Off the master bedroom is a large balcony that overlooks the front yard facing East Kensington Rd. The home has central AC with dual-zone controls. Ample extra storage is available via the attic and a California basement accessed from the outside. Two outdoor parking spots are available in the back on the driveway (shared with the owner's house next door). This is a prized location in Echo Park walking distance from the Lake, perennially cool retail and eateries on Sunset, and Dodger Stadium. Quick freeway access to the 2, 110, 101 and 5 makes a commute that much bearable. Home is currently occupied by tenants. Available starting February 1st, 2025. Owner is offering $200 discount / credit to offset electric bill for garage.
