1717 Griffith Park Blvd for rent in Los Angeles, CA
Beautiful private two-bedroom one bath 1919 bungalow conveniently located one block off Sunset in the heart of Sunset Junction. Must see to appreciate. One of the first homes to be built on the block, the view of Los Feliz and the many authentic period details are not to be missed. Craftsman windows span the entire width of the back of the home, giving you phenomenal straight-ahead views of Griffith Park observatory and the Hollywood sign; on a clear day you can see out to Century City and Brentwood's Getty Center. The ceilings are almost 9 feet high with large windows in every room. The kitchen retains original Arts and Crafts era cabinetry, with an amazingly restored 1949 O'Keefe & Merritt stove paired with a matching classic Vent-A-Hood exhaust, brand new pastel retro SMEG refrigerator, brand new Miele dishwasher, GE microwave, period specific fixtures, and a salvaged wood bar. The home has central AC and dimmable recessed lighting throughout. The bathroom is super clean having been recently painstakingly regrouted, has a full-size tub, plenty of space and includes a new top-line Toto Washlet bidet (S550e). Outside, exterior gardens and paths are beautifully illuminated in the evenings by Gambino Landscape Lighting. On one side you have three massive southwest facing cypress trees providing cooling shade throughout the year. On the other side you have your own deck with built-in seating for al fresco dining under a mature Ash tree, connected via a bougainvillea trellis to a small front yard that is secure and private, opening up to Griffith Park Blvd. The home is very walkable to restaurants, bars and shops in Silver Lake as well as nearby Los Feliz, with a walk score of 94. It's located one block from the Black Cat, La Colombe, Tartine, Buck Mason, and Maison Kitsune, two blocks from the twice weekly Farmer's Market, the Win-Dow, and Pine & Crane, and three to Bacari and The Ruby Fruit yet still retains a sense of serene privacy. It's also located along a dedicated bike lane: 4-minute bike ride to Erewhon, 6 minutes to Gelson's/Trader Joe's, 7 to MTA Red Line station, 25 to DTLA, 90% on dedicated bike lanes.
