2244 Fernleaf Street

Los Angeles, CA 90031

Don't let the one-bedroom floor plan fool you, this standalone bungalow has a lot going on. Originally built in the 1930s and thoughtfully reimagined from top to bottom, 2244 Fernleaf St blends original character, smart design, and serious structural upgrades in one very charming Frogtown package. Set behind a large, private, fenced front yard with scenic mountain views, the home starts with a covered front porch finished in classic Saltillo tile, the kind of spot that makes morning coffee feel like a good idea. Inside, wide-plank flooring runs through a light-filled living room with dramatic barrel ceilings, a decorative fireplace, original built-in glass-front cabinetry, and warm sconces that give the space plenty of personality. Glass French doors open to a flexible bonus den/office that works beautifully as a home office, creative space, or occasional guest room. The open living area flows into an oversized kitchen with white shaker cabinetry, brass hardware, stainless steel appliances, and a dedicated dining nook. The bedroom is calm and comfortable, while the updated bathroom brings in a fluted wood vanity, brass fixtures, and a classic subway tile shower/tub combination. In-unit laundry, HVAC mini-split units, and dedicated parking round out the everyday essentials. What really sets this home apart is what's happening behind the pretty finishes. The property has undergone substantial structural and system improvements, including a new roof, reinforced foundation, new electrical main panels and submeters, copper plumbing, new ABS sewer lines, a tankless water heater, and energy-efficient windows throughout. In other words, the charm is original, but the infrastructure is ready for modern life. And then there's the location. In Frogtown, you're just blocks from Spoke Bicycle Cafe, Salazar, Wax Paper, Just What I Kneaded, Lingua Franca, Frogtown Brewery, and the LA River Bike Path. Spend the afternoon riding along the river, grab dinner nearby, and come home to your own private yard with the mountains in the distance. Small in bedrooms, big on character, outdoor space, and thoughtful upgrades - this is one bungalow is a single family home alternative that definitely punches above its weight.
