A rare offering for sale in the hills of Elysian Heights is a Mid-Century compound built in 1956. With MCM cabin vibes, the 1,349 SqFt main home features a living room with tongue-and-groove ceilings, walls of windows and a period-appropriate fireplace. The living room opens up to a covered patio with views of Downtown LA, and evening city lights. The kitchen features original steel cabinetry and additional hidden storage spaces up at the ceiling. Upstairs are three bedrooms and an additional bathroom. Two of the rooms have direct access through large sliding glass doors to an expansive deck with city views. The first bedroom features a raised fireplace and a walk-in closet with a skylight. This could be the primary bedroom or a wonderful study. Offering quintessential 50s design, all of the bedrooms are fitted with tongue-and-groove ceilings. Additionally, there is a two story, lofted studio guest house with its own little kitchen and 3/4 bathroom. Enjoy loads of light, high ceilings and your own private balcony with treetop views and the city beyond. Attached to the studio guest house is the two-car garage. Adjacent to 2052 Cerro Gordo is a separate relatively flat corner lot parcel being offered for sale with the home and guest house. Build your dream compound, add a pool, an additional home or just enjoy it as it is. Enjoyed for many years by the same owner, this property is ready for its next exciting chapter. Many of the property's systems are in need of repair or replacement. Buyer is advised to make their offer with this in consideration as this is an "as is" probate sale without need of court confirmation.
