4017 Michigan Avenue

Some homes whisper to the heart, but this one sings from the top of the hill. Set high above the Eastside with sweeping city views and golden light that pours in just right, this soulful 1908 bungalow comes with a hidden harmony: a separate guest house below, offering space, flexibility, and possibilities to match the beauty above. The main two-bedroom, one-bath home is a blend of timeless charm and thoughtful design, filled with curated finishes, rich wood floors, and the kind of warmth only a true labor of love can bring. No wonder Airbnb guests get attached. Many return again and again, and the five-star reviews will carry on with someone who feels the same connection. Below, a spacious one-bedroom guest house with its own kitchen, bathroom, living area, and private entrance adds approximately 506 square feet of bonus living space not reflected in the 805 square feet shown on public records. This separate unit had been generating over $2,000 a month in rent and, with the lease recently ended, ready to be delivered vacant so the next owner can decide whether to rent it again, move in, host long-term guests, or Airbnb the main home while enjoying full privacy. Step into the backyard and it's pure magic, with a custom-designed pergola, firepit, and 10-foot stock tank pool that invite long dinners, slow mornings, and movie nights under LA's stars with a gentle breeze drifting through. The entire property sits on a wide, flat 6,682 square foot lot at the very top of the hill, where the view spills out in front of you like the edge of an infinity pool. With all its charm and comfort, there's still plenty of space to imagine more. Upgrades throughout include the roof, electrical, plumbing, sewer, and dual-pane windows, giving you peace of mind to go with all the heart. Just minutes from Highland Park, DTLA, and beloved neighborhood spots, this is more than a home. It's the kind of opportunity that rarely comes twice.
