Sitting at the foothill of a lush green hillside, nestled among California natives is this 1946 Bungalow in Historic Lincoln Heights that was once the beloved childhood home of Dodger hometown hero Bobby Castillo. Thoughtfully restored and extensively updated, this exquisite restoration features the rare combination of modern upgrades with priceless vintage details. Tucked behind a fence with sweeping vistas, the expansive, park-like front yard creates a tapestry of natural beauty that provides a glimpse of the wonder that awaits. Beyond the breezy front porch, guests are immediately welcomed by the charming formal entry from a bygone era and the living room with a wood mantle fireplace that beckons visitors to linger a little longer. The open floor plan strikes the perfect balance of being modern, yet warm with an darling dining room featuring an oversized picture window that floods the space in natural light and a custom kitchen with a generously sized island and breakfast bar. Off the living room are two sunny bedrooms, a stunning full bath with a custom marble vanity, dual sinks, period fixtures and plenty of storage throughout. Past the living room is the spacious third bedroom that seems to be lit from within with the amount of light that streams through, and sizable enough to accommodate a large closet and separate seating area. Once outside, guests will discover an enchanting, private oasis complete with an outdoor dining room with a pergola and shaded outdoor living room to relax the day away. The oversized 2-car garage, along with spots for 4 more in the driveway, is already semi-finished and ready to be transformed into an ADU or guesthouse. Totally fenced and private, with multiple spaces for gathering, entertaining or savoring quiet moments, the backyard is a haven you'll never want to leave. Additional updates include a new permitted roof, air conditioning, plumbing, interior electrical and a 200-amp panel upgrade. Centrally located to vibrant restaurants, shops and all the Eastside hotspots, Highland Park, Silver Lake and Atwater Village and less than 10 minutes to Downtown, this beauty is ready its next chapter.
