Built in 1932 to be the artistic sanctuary for the wife of an iron magnate, this Echo Park gem has been home to a lineage of extraordinary creatives from a trailblazing female science fiction writer to an indie rock record label legend, and the current owners, whose accolades include 12 Emmy nominations, two New York Times bestsellers, and a Broadway hit. With deference to it's historical style, the home has been thoughtfully upgraded to integrate modern amenities into its whimsical Deco charm. Key features include: chef's kitchen with Carrera marble countertops and premium stainless steel appliances, new multi-zone mini-split HVAC system, UV-blocking motorized window shades, reverse osmosis water filtration system, upgraded electrical system with prewiring for surround sound and security, and more!
