    What's special

    Echo Park Mini Compound. Welcome to 1551 Cerro Gordo, a private hilltop mini compound tucked away at the very top of Cerro Gordo in the heart of Echo Park. Behind its gated entry, this charming 1925 bungalow offers three bedrooms and two baths, along with a freestanding bonus studio that can function as a fourth bedroom. A flat front yard and private rear yard create an unusually usable outdoor setting for a hillside property. Inside, the main house is filled with light & character, beginning with a welcoming front room featuring high ceilings, hand-hewn beams, and a decorative fireplace. The living room flows naturally into the dining area and an updated kitchen, creating an open and comfortable floor plan. Two character bedrooms are positioned toward the front of the home and share a beautiful bathroom with soaring ceilings and a skylight. The rear bedroom enjoys its own bathroom and opens directly to the backyard. Set apart from the main house in the rear yard, the freestanding bonus studio offers high ceilings, a skylight with remote-controlled shade, its own bathroom and closet. Flexible in its use, it can serve as a fourth bedroom, creative studio, home office, guest space or private retreat. The secluded rear yard is made for relaxed California living, whether you're hosting a backyard BBQ or creating your own private oasis with a sauna and hot tub. Additional features include under-house storage and a one-car garage with an expansive deck above, offering additional outdoor space along with off-street parking and storage. A rare opportunity to create your own private Echo Park mini compound, gated, character-filled and perched above the neighborhood.
