A 4-month fixed-term stay seeking a quiet home base.

This is the ground floor unit of a 1911 Craftsman home in Highland Park. Set on a rare 19,000-square-foot terraced hillside, the property is defined by its lush, green atmosphere and multiple flat outdoor decks. This is a space for someone who values character, atmosphere, and the feeling of being tucked away in nature.

The Space
The unit is newly renovated with fresh paint and new floors—it is clean, simple, and intentionally minimally furnished. It is not modern luxury; it remains a rustic, century-old home that feels like a "soft landing" for someone who wants to live lightly. It is set up for someone here to explore the city and settle briefly without the clutter of a typical rental.

The Living Dynamic
The property is multi-family with one other unit on site. Each residence has its own outdoor area, and the shared spaces are expansive enough to feel open and uncrowded. The culture here is one of mutual care and soft boundaries. You can be social or entirely independent—you might hear the faint melody of dinner conversation from a deck above while you’re reading on a lower level, but the overall feeling is one of secure independence.

Simple Conveniences
While the home is rustic, it is equipped for modern life:
• Connectivity: High-speed internet and Wi-Fi–controlled overhead lighting.
• Comfort: AC/Heat wall unit (operated by remote) and a 60” TV with surround sound.
• Essentials: On-site laundry and optional on-site parking ($150/month).

The Neighborhood
Highland Park is one of LA’s most walkable and neighborhood-oriented areas. You are steps away from the cafés and local shops along Figueroa Street, and several bus lines (Dash, 81, 182) stop right at the corner. The property feels like a green retreat, yet Downtown LA is easily accessible.

The Location: A Hidden Magic (The One-Block Rule)
The property performs a rare geographical magic trick. While you are tucked away on a lush, 19,000-square-foot hillside that feels like a remote retreat, the city’s most vibrant "anchors" are a two-minute walk away:
• One Block Away: Kitchen Mouse, Highland Park Wine, Motivate Pilates, Comet Over Delphi, Triple Beam Pizza, Hippo.
• Two Blocks Away: A short stroll to Cookbook Market and the Tuesday Farmers Market.
• The Peace: Because of the hill’s elevation, the vibrant energy of the neighborhood never follows you home. You get the culture of a walkable neighborhood with the absolute softness and silence of a secluded retreat.

A Note from the Owner
This is my home, not a managed rental. I am looking for respectful tenant who feels aligned with the quiet, grounded energy of the property. It’s well-suited to someone new to Los Angeles who values a gentle sense of community and a peaceful environment.
Please reach out with a brief introduction about yourself and what brings you to LA. I’m happy to share photos and additional details with those who feel aligned.

I’m a private property owner renting my home directly. I have put a lot of attention and detail into the details, such as the Italian ceramic tiles in the kitchen and bathroom.
