About this home
Accepting Back Up Offers. Located in Echo Park, one of Los Angeles' most culturally rich enclaves, 1756 Lucretia Avenue is a rare offering set on a quietly revered hilltop street. This charming 1940s hillside cottage blends thoughtful restoration, period integrity, and a premier location with everyday livability and future development potential on one of the only remaining street-to-street R2 lots in the area. A redwood entry gate and cedar fencing create an immediate sense of privacy, while the romantic front garden unfolds as a curated native landscape featuring Matilija poppy, lemonade berry hedges, toyon, manzanita, buckwheat, coyote bush, sage, agave, yarrow, rosemary, and an olive tree, all supported by drip irrigation. Inside, meticulous restoration is immediately evident, beginning with a period-inspired palette influenced by Benjamin Moore's historic Paqua colors of the 1940s and 1950s. A freshly painted peacock-toned entry opens into a light-filled living room where original redwood windows, restored hardwood floors (2020), classic mouldings, and period sconces honor the home's Los Angeles heritage. Garden views, along with peek-a-boo glimpses of the Hollywood Sign and Griffith Observatory, enhance the space. A thoughtfully opened wall improves flow between the living, dining, and kitchen areas. The kitchen has been fully reimagined with marble countertops, period-inspired tile from Mission Tile West, a vintage Wedgwood range, Bosch refrigerator, custom-built cabinetry, and classic Hollywood Fresnel lighting. An Electrolux stackable laundry is seamlessly integrated into the expanded hallway. The primary bedroom opens through double doors to a private outdoor sanctuary an expansive, permitted wraparound deck affectionately known as the home's "second living room." Beneath a mature pepper tree, the setting invites relaxation, gathering, and alfresco dining, where birdsong, hillside breezes, and filtered light define the rhythm of the day. A second bedroom also opens directly to the deck, with views stretching toward Downtown Los Angeles. The centrally located bathroom continues the dialogue between past and present, featuring a repurposed original farm-style sink, Brooklyn-made nickel fixtures from Rejuvenation, tile from Mission Tile West, and a discreetly integrated Kohler smart toilet. A staircase between the decks leads to the generous R2 lot below, offering additional gardening space and future potential. A mulched garden pathway guides you to the insulated garage studio, currently used as a private office and creative retreat (unpermitted). Additional improvements include a new roof (2021), mini-split HVAC system, whole-house repiped plumbing, updated electrical, reinforced foundation, and a recently serviced remote electronic driveway gate with separate access. The property may also qualify for Mills Act designation, offering potential property tax benefits . The home has operated as a successful Airbnb, presenting optional income potential. Gracefully proportioned, the residence lives far beyond its footprint with the potential to build an additional full-size residence, ADU, and/or junior ADU's. Just moments from Sunset Boulevard and Echo Park Village, with beloved destinations including Canyon Coffee, Valerie, Dada Market, Bacetti, Honey Hi, H & H Bagel, and The Chocolate Dispensary, and in close proximity to Elysian Park, Dodger Stadium, shops on Sunset Blvd. and Echo Park Lake.This property offers both connection and retreat deeply rooted in the rhythm of the neighborhood, in one of Los Angeles' most artistic and soulful enclaves.
