The A. Starr Residence (1956), William M. Mann. Tremendous opportunity to own this fully renovated architectural compound with incredible panoramic views on a flat lot in one of Echo Park's most coveted hillside enclaves. Originally designed by USC architect and educator William M. Mann, this compound has been completely reenvisioned by designer Andreas E.G. Larsson, who has built a name for himself by sensitively restoring pedigreed houses by noted architects such as Neutra, A. Quincy Jones, Kappe and Calvin Straub. The striking 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom architectural residence blends modern design with the serene natural surroundings. Thoughtfully designed for both daily living and inspired creativity, the home includes expansive windows, a suspended staircase, original fireplace, custom light fixtures and exposed beam ceilings. The gorgeous kitchen features mahogany custom cabinetry, imported Abet Laminati countertops and top of the line appliances. The upstairs features an en-suite primary with lovely terrazzo flooring as well as a shared balcony that opens to the tree-top views as well as the city off in the distance. Two additional bedrooms, one that looks down on the lush greenery of the backyard and the other which shares the dramatic views with the primary, have an additional full bathroom. The bonus detached guest house with its kitchenette and full bathroom offers a flexible space ideal for a home office, artist's studio, or serene retreat- perfect for dynamic living. There are multiple patios and terraces that invite al fresco dining, morning coffee or simply the opportunity to enjoy the beautiful, private landscaping and commanding views. Sited on a peaceful corner, the home offers a rare sense of privacy while being just minutes away from Sunset Blvd, Elysian Park and all that Echo Park has to offer.The adjacent lot may be included in the sale, presenting an immense potential for expansion, investment or the ultimate compound.
