Peak Living On Poppy Peak! Some homes have a story. This Poppy Peak bungalow feels like a true love letter to Old Los Angeles. Nestled at the end of a quiet Highland Park cul-de-sac, wrapped in a private green picket fence, this beautifully restored 1920s Craftsman pairs vintage soul with modern updates and a lush outdoor retreat that feels like its own palm-treed California dream. Step through the stained-glass orange wood front door into a bright living room with built-in bookshelves, exposed wood beams, and warm oak wood floors. Light pours in as the space opens toward the kitchen, complemented by white marble counters, a deep farmhouse sink, stunning emerald green backsplash, a premier Viking cooking range, Sub-Zero refrigerator + freezer, and an island made for morning coffee and lingering conversation. Two bright bedrooms sit just beyond, each with ample closet space, classic details, and an easy flow between them. The bathroom keeps the vintage soul alive with a schoolhouse double sink, white subway tile around the tub, a glass shower panel, and a bidet. Just inside the back door, a dedicated laundry room with a Bosch washer and dryer opens straight into the yard. Step outside and the backyard unfolds as a private garden escape. Dine beneath twinkling patio lights at the rustic log table, gather around the TerraFlame gel-fueled fireplace, or spend slow afternoons among lush garden beds of chili peppers, apple trees, and lemon trees. Feel the earth between your toes across the large green lawn or swing in the hanging egg chair and let the afternoon sun wash over you. Meandering paths wind through the greenery to a fully detached one-bedroom, one-bath guest house with vaulted, beamed ceilings, custom wallpaper, and a full kitchen featuring a retro cream refrigerator, wood counters, glossy brown tile, and a Thor cooking range-- a lovely setting for guests, creative work, or a little privacy. Central heating and air, a Nest thermostat, and ADT security keep everything effortless. Minutes from Highland Park's best cafes and restaurants, with Pasadena and Eagle Rock just down the road, this is a true hideaway: private California living with the city still within reach.
