2317 AVON ST

This vintage cabin is reputed to be the first home built in Echo Park and was once owned by silent film star Clara Kimball Young. Situated on an 8,433 sqft lot, the woodsy cottage has been beautifully restored by owner and designer, Leanne Ford, where she has created the ultimate indoor/outdoor living space connecting rustic textures like stone floors and exposed wood plus adding french doors in the back that open to a beautiful stone patio and the surrounding nature. The details to this home are truly charismatic and maintain that chalet charm throughout each room. The cozy living room features a stone hearth plus a Midcentury Malm fireplace, and original wood borders large windows in the dining area. The kitchen has a Smeg refrigerator, open shelving, and an old sink brought in from Pittsburgh. The original tub was kept in the bathroom with new plumbing, made to look old, and the entire cabin is painted a warm white and exploding with character. Truly a hidden gem in a quaint area!
