Tucked away on one of Atwater Village's desirable tree-lined streets, this versatile property offers a beautifully updated California Craftsman and a newly built, contemporary ADU, each with its own unique charm, living space, and functionality. A welcoming front porch and drought-tolerant landscaping set the stage for the inviting main house, where hardwood flooring, abundant natural light, and an open-concept layout create a warm and stylish living space. The thoughtfully remodeled kitchen features quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a spacious breakfast bar, perfect for casual dining and entertaining. The primary suite boasts an en-suite bath, while a bonus flex space serves as an ideal home office, play area, or creative studio. Additional highlights include in-unit laundry, generous closet space, central heat & AC, and direct access to a sun-drenched backyard patio - perfect for summer BBQs and outdoor dining. Privately set at the rear of the property, the newly constructed ADU (completed in 2023 and currently vacant) is a modern sanctuary designed for effortless indoor-outdoor living. Soaring ceilings and multiple skylights bathe the interiors in natural light, while the spacious living area seamlessly connects to the outdoors through sliding doors. The stunning bathroom features a skylight over the shower, dual sinks, and gorgeous tile work, while both bedrooms offer a peaceful retreat. Step outside to a private backyard oasis, where a pergola-covered patio and cozy fire pit create the perfect setting for relaxation and entertaining. The ADU's cedar wood cladding evokes a sophisticated Sea Ranch aesthetic, blending warmth and architectural character with modern design. Perfectly situated between Glendale and Los Feliz Boulevards, this prime Atwater Village location is walking distance to beloved neighborhood spots like Proof Bakery, Tacos Villa Corona, Dune, Homestate, Village Bakery, Bigfoot Lodge, The High Low, and Costco, and easy access to Griffith Park, Dodger Stadium, Silver Lake, Los Feliz, and Downtown LA. This property offers an ideal opportunity for those seeking multi-generational living or rental income potential.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
