A Storybook Artist’s Retreat in Elysian Heights – Lease Opportunity at the Historic Atwater Bungalows Step into a world of timeless charm and artistic... inspiration at 1403 Avon Park Terrace—an exceptionally rare adobe home tucked within the Atwater Bungalows, a landmarked ten-home enclave in the heart of Elysian Heights. This private, gated community offers a serene escape, blending the soul of 1930s Hopi-inspired design with the romance of a storybook retreat. Spread across two fully self-contained levels connected by a charming exterior staircase, this handcrafted residence provides flexible living options—ideal as a single-family home or authentic duplex-style setup.

Two peaceful bedrooms share a whimsical main bath with hand-laid tile, vintage fixtures, and vibrant turquoise accents, plus an additional jewel-box powder room. A hidden laundry nook behind French doors adds a touch of convenience wrapped in character. Upstairs, the sunlit living room captivates with a sculptural fireplace, wide-plank wood floors, deep-set built-ins, and treetop views. A curved banquette breakfast nook wrapped in sky-blue windows invites morning coffee bathed in light. The adjacent kitchen is a masterclass in vintage elegance, showcasing polished copper counters, crisp white cabinetry, and oversized custom windows framing leafy vistas. A spacious bedroom with pitched beam ceilings and a second bath adorned in rich 1930s tilework complete the upper floor. Comfort meets style with mini-split systems for efficient heating and cooling throughout. Outside, magic continues. A secluded rooftop terrace under the canopy of mature trees is perfect for sunset gatherings and stargazing. Below, a west-facing stone patio draped in vines and surrounded by lush landscaping offers a dreamy setting for quiet moments or entertaining guests. Located just minutes from Sunset Blvd., Echo Park Lake, and the cultural energy of LA’s Eastside, this home is both a private sanctuary and a gateway to the city’s creative heartbeat. 1403 Avon Park Terrace is more than a lease—it’s a chance to live inside a work of art, in a place where history, imagination, and craftsmanship converge.
