6162 Strickland is a charming nest, perfectly perched above native gardens, an oversized patio with a view, hidden yards, and versatile flex space. This 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom sanctuary is situated in the northeast hills of Highland Park, blocks from Pasadena and Eagle Rock. Above it sits Poppy Peak, one of the last remaining green spaces in Highland Park. Inside, this bright and picturesque property features a beautifully remodeled kitchen and bathroom, newer engineered hardwood flooring, central HVAC, updated foundation, and more. Outside, dine al fresco with friends on a patio space framed by brilliant bougainvillea, then head down the stairs to find raised organic vegetable beds, herb planters, and a chicken coop--an amazing opportunity for farm-to-table living--and a meaningful connection with nature. At the bottom of the stairs, bordered by an ivy-covered 100+ year-old river rock wall, is an enchanting private glade surrounded by old-growth mulberry trees that blanket the space in cool shade--a dreamy place to dine, play, and entertain. Sit back on the front porch and enjoy views of the foothills and your own private pollinator garden courtesy of the Theodore Payne Foundation. Some of the yard highlights include sycamore, mulberry, and tecate cypress trees, as well as peach, fig, lemon, lime, and avocado. Native plants include matilija poppy, buckwheat galore, mature ceanothus blue star (lilac), manzanita, and various sages and mallows. Retreat to your finished, detached garage/studio complete with its own mini-split HVAC and half bathroom, perfect for a dedicated home office, artist's studio, music room, gym, or creative workspace. Located on the border of Highland Park and Eagle Rock, you're less than two miles from the hot stretches of York, Figueroa, AND Colorado--some of the best shopping and dining LA has to offer.
