18 months in the making and a true labor of love. We are so excited to present:
Offered at $1,495,000 and of course it's double vacant.
If you have been following along then you KNOW. You know what we put into this. Every inch of this duplex has been infused with love and newness honoring it's history. We've tried to make each decision on the right side of this home. We always do what's right for the home, then what's right for my emotional needs AKA my design obsessions, then what's right for our budget. It't not the formula I would tout as being one to follow, but since day one, this property has been a real emotional affair. It was a passion project and we are super passionate about her going to a good owner.

Set in PRIME Echo Park, walking distance to Sunset Blvd, Echo Park Lake, minutes from DTLA and you get to be our neighbor. (We live around the corner)
This 1887 gem has all the feels. 12 foot ceilings, moldings dreams are made of and gorgeous lighting. She emits a soft and pretty, easy breezy color palette, handsome flooring (wait till you see the downstairs photos- DROOL), a Kinfolk meets Devol kitchen vibe (I know, some of you will have no idea what I am saying and some of you will die because that combo is soooo good). We hired some seriously talented stagers, wonderful stylish interior designers who made the furnishings and their styling come alive with whimsy. You can really see what life would feel like here, how it lays out, what furniture works.
Then there is the backyard, shaded by a romantic lemon tree and with literally thousands of lemons. There are the hundred year old bricks we hand-selected so that they would fit with the age and soul of the house. It had to feel soulful. It couldn't just be regular. The front of the home has beautiful bay windows under fishscale and a cozy Victorian front porch. This beauty has SOUL. BONES AND SOUL. Not all houses have soul.
This house is almost 150 years old. We put her back together. She has her own soul and a little bit of ours too. A house is the story of the people who live there, but it is also a story of the people who give to it. We gave to her and she will keep a little piece of us with her always. She has become a part of our story and we have ultimately become a part of hers.
Here are a few of my favorite moments.... there are way too many! Please come check her out. The open houses start on Saturday. Say hi! Meet Craig... if you are interested in buying AMAZING! and if you are interested in connecting, it's a great time to see what kind of heart we have. Some people wear it on their sleeves and I can firmly say this one got pinned to the Mint Victorian pretty early on.
These floors are EVERYTHING.
This is a Victorian salvaged gate and sooo dreamy! Be still my heart.
This is a lovely stylish and refined duplex. It's 3/2 + 1/1 and a pretty amazing creative bonus space. It's great as an investment. Projected rents are $4500-$5000/mo & $3000mo. Thats $7500-$8000/month, it's about a break even on the price. You could AirBnB the shxt out of it, as a very PRO Air BNB'er recently told me. You could live in one unit and pay for a good chunk of your mortgage by renting out the other. This is what you would call TURN KEY. Down to her wooden framed bones, she has been redone... So there is no remodel needed. She is quite a place if I do say so myself.
CONTACT Craig here for a private showing or just to say hi.
