There's a lot to like about this recently listed duplex in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Highland Park. Originally built in 1921, a recent restoration retained the structure's craftsman charm while incorporating modern finishes with playful pops of color.

Originally built as a two-story, two-bedroom home, the bungalow was expanded in the 1930s to include an attached one-bedroom apartment. In total, the duplex structure now features 1,770 square feet of living space, with three bedrooms and three full baths between the two units. Numerous windows run along all sides of the home, flooding the interior with natural light. A neutral color palette contrasts with the original woodwork, while providing a blank canvas for various pops of unexpected color throughout interior and exterior spaces.

Set on a .12-acre lot, the duplex is surrounded by soaring trees and a lush lawn, offering an abundance of privacy and a retreat-like atmosphere. A recent renovation modernized the kitchen and bathrooms in both units, as well as the plumbing. The converted garage provides an isolated studio space and additional workspace.
