Description
Just above the quiet cul-de-sac of Annan Terrace there stands a California bungalow with a spirit all its own: a little bit whimsical, a little bit wild, and brimming with untold possibilities. Perched between two streets Annan Terrace below and Tipton Terrace above this enchanting property is a rare find in the Garvanza neighborhood. With dual access and two addresses, the property stretches street-to-street, offering not just charm but opportunity. For investors or visionaries, this opens the door to reimagining the lot; perhaps adding a second home, as has already been done on neighboring parcels. The potential here is as expansive as the views. Climb the tiered steps framed by native plants and river rock, and you arrive at your personal perch above the city. Here, mornings begin with birdsong and coffee, and evenings wind down with breathtaking views of the South Arroyo Hills. Come the 4th of July, the Rose Bowl fireworks light up the sky no tickets needed. One of the home's special features is the front wooden deck, accessible from both the living room and bedroom. Though it could use a little TLC, this space offers various sitting areas where you can relax under the open sky, host casual gatherings, or simply take in the ever-changing panorama. From here, you'll enjoy sweeping vistas that include the iconic Eagle Rock; itself a rare and special view that roots you in the heart of Northeast LA. Inside, the home welcomes you with warmth and vintage character. Hardwood floors and sun-filled windows create a bright open feel, while the kitchen with tiled countertops and stainless steel appliances flows naturally into the living and dining areas, perfect for everything from quiet dinners to lively weekend brunches. The layout is as flexible as your imagination. Currently configured as two separate living spaces, the home includes two bedrooms and two baths divided by a soundproof wall ideal for guest quarters, a home office, creative studio, or short-term rental. Reconnecting the spaces is easy, allowing you to shape the home to suit your lifestyle. Out back, a private, multi-level yard awaits. The lower terrace offers flat, usable space for entertaining, while the upper level anchored by a concrete pad with sweeping views is ready for whatever you envision next: a garden retreat, yoga deck, or perhaps a future structure with its own entrance. A gate at the top of the lot opens directly to Tipton Terrace, providing a peaceful path for morning strolls with your best friend, easy access to scenic neighborhood walks, and additional parking options for guests; another example of how this property blends charm with functionality. The river rock fireplace, a beautiful focal point in the living room has been used by the current owner, but no warranty is provided and it will be sold as a decorative feature. Some deferred maintenance remains, but the home comes with meaningful upgrades: a brand-new roof and a solid retaining wall in the basement. And let's not forget the location. Tucked in the hills yet just minutes from the buzz of York and Figueroa, you're close to beloved cafes, art galleries, and local gems. Eagle Rock, Old Town Pasadena, and Downtown LA are all within easy reach, and the nearby Metro makes commuting a breeze. 815 Annan Terrace isn't just a house it's a hillside hideaway, an investment opportunity, a creative sanctuary, and a blank canvas. Come walk the lot, take in the views, and imagine your next chapter.
