Do you or anyone you know need a place to live? In Highland Park? With lots of light, fun spaces, plants, and fun things?
Story
We used to live here! Built an ADU in the back, and live there now - so this is very near and dear to our hearts.
We've spent a lot of time renovating and refreshing the house - so there are great colors, handmade finishes, environmentally-friendly updates, and fun touches throughout. We hope we can get someone in here who will appreciate all of this.
There's plenty of street parking and stuff to do nearby in Highland Park. Almost everything you want / need (bars, music, trains, banks, schools, shopping, etc etc etc) is about a 10 - 15 minute walk away.
