This incredibly romantic Highland Park home, built in 1923, features amazing views from every vantage and seamlessly combines Mediterranean Revival character with undeniable storybook charm. The home has amazing architectural elements, including hand-carved wood accent details. Set back from the street, the home was built by German watercolor artist Fritz Poock. Down the driveway, you are greeted by a magnificent wisteria-covered pergola. The living room is stunning, with a unique fireplace, original wood flooring and multiple arched windows which offer spectacular hillside and mountain views. Off the living room there is a sunroom/office (with a closet so it could be used as a third bedroom). This room features Saltillo tile flooring, a wood-beamed ceiling and multiple oversized arched windows that capture stunning 180-degree views that change with every season. The dining room is framed by a variety of interesting arched doorways and the charming kitchen also features Saltillo tile flooring and offers amazing hillside views. A powder room completes the main level of the home. The downstairs portion of the home offers two additional bedrooms and a full bathroom. The primary bedroom is a true retreat, with French doors that open to the lovely yard with a relaxing wall fountain water feature. The yard seamlessly combines garden areas with a variety of patios and seating areas - perfect for entertaining or unwinding at the end of the day. Best of all, the home is just a few blocks from the Metro station and offers close proximity to Highland Park's vibrant restaurant and bar scene. A true artistic retreat, this home combines historic charm with a modern lifestyle, offering an exceptional blend of the best of all worlds.
