A recently listed bungalow in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Highland Park takes its perch upon a terraced hillside lot. Originally built in 1910, the 750-square-foot home was gut renovated by its current owners to maximize interior space and incorporate chic new finishes. As an additional incentive, the property comes with approved expansion plans that clear the way for a larger structure or backyard ADU.

The vaulted living area offers a reading loft and a vintage-style fireplace, while the two-toned kitchen comes with WiFi-enabled appliances and a beveled tile backsplash. Custom cherry built-ins complement the original tongue-and-groove ceiling, as do the bamboo floors that run throughout the home. Other features include Velux solar-powered smart skylights, a water filtration system and softener, as well as a custom California closet system.

The .12-acre lot is straddled between two streets, offering terraced gardens in the front and rear yards. A shady rear patio is accessible from the living area and kitchen, while the front porch offers mountain views. The $799,000 listing also comes with approved plans for an extension of the current residence. Keep scrolling to see more.
