1557 Curran Street

About this home

Built in the late 1800s and moved to Curran Street by horse and buggy in 1907, this Queen Anne has been lovingly restored and preserved, one original detail at a time. This is a house with a soul, and you feel it the minute you walk in. The original wood details, flooring, windows and charm have all been brought back to life just as they were. But pop the hood and everything is brand new and top of the line, with new HVAC, electrical, plumbing and mechanicals. The front door opens to a living room with a beautiful rounded wall of windows and a sweeping staircase, with soaring 10-foot ceilings, original oak floors and stained glass windows. Farrow & Ball colors and soft, natural light fill the entire home. The formal dining room has its own functioning fireplace, and a parlor works beautifully as a den, office or media room. The kitchen is a dream, with warm butter yellow cabinets, soapstone counters, a custom island, a Perrin & Rowe faucet and pot filler, and high-end appliances. Step out to a large deck off the kitchen made for long summer evenings with friends. Every detail was handpicked by Echo Park's own design and build duo, Resourceful Construction. Upstairs are three bedrooms and two full baths, with ocean views from the primary suite. There's also a guest half bath downstairs. All told, this gem is approximately 3,366 square feet. The lower level adds so much flexibility, with a permitted one-bedroom ADU and a separate permitted rec room. The 7,364 sq ft street-to-street lot has a generous backyard and Verdugo Mountain views from the back of the property. It's being delivered with approved plans, permits ready to issue, for a two-car garage, an additional two-car parking pad and a second approximately 600 sq ft one-bedroom ADU above the garage. A great opportunity to grow the property's space and income. Minutes to Elysian Park, Elysian Heights Elementary School, Canyon Coffee, Valerie and Cookbook Market.
