Artist retreat, income possibility, and development opportunity - this renovated and updated midcentury 4 bedroom and 2 bathroom house on two stories is located in a central location, close to Downtown and Elysian Park. A beautifully lush and serene garden of native plants at the back of the house provides refuge from the city, with room for the development of an additional structure above (Zoned R2). Four oversized windows on the main floor directed towards the Solano Canyon give the home all-day natural light and an expansive view. This bright, open living, dining, and kitchen area with another secluded bedroom or office space leads via a staircase to the more intimate upper three bedrooms, which have been oriented towards the garden. Artistic crafted green stone tiled bathrooms with beautiful windows over the bathtubs complement plywood floors, aluminum windows, and doors throughout the house, generating a fashionable artistic feeling. The property is currently configured as two separate units, a 2 bed/1 bath and 2 bed/1 bath with its own separate entrance and staircase. The secondary unit has been plumbed for a kitchen. Below, at street level, is a tall ceilinged two-car garage with a translucent door that is currently used as an artist's studio. Close by is the Spanish Revival style Solano Avenue Elementary School from 1925, listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
