1701 Clinton Street Unit 321, Los Angeles, CA 90026

Property Description

What if you could live in the heart of Echo Park and still feel tucked away from it all? Bright, airy, and centered around sweeping views of the lake and park, this two-level condo offers that rare balance: the creative energy of the Eastside just outside your door and a calm, sunlit oasis waiting when you come home. Designed in 1973 by noted Los Angeles architect Allyn E. Morris, Lago Vista takes full advantage of its hillside setting and connection to the landscape. The home's two-level layout, white-painted exposed beams, and broad expanses of glass carry that modernist sensibility throughout. The main level is open and inviting, with an updated kitchen and comfortable living and dining spaces that lead to a large private balcony. Blonde wood flooring flows through the living areas and bedrooms, bringing continuity to the home's fresh, understated palette. The balcony is an ideal spot for morning coffee, dinner with friends, or simply watching the light shift across the lake and surrounding hills. Upstairs, two bedrooms offer even more natural light, with a wide panoramic window framing a remarkable, straight-on view of Echo Park Lake, its fountain, palm trees, and the park beyond. The bathroom retains its original cobalt blue tiles and features a skylight that brings in natural light. Central heating and air conditioning provide year-round comfort. The unit comes with its own tandem parking for two cars within the gated property. Lush, well-maintained grounds and the complex's distinctive teardrop-shaped pool complete the sense of retreat. And, when you're ready to rejoin the city, Echo Park Lake and its swan boats are just footsteps away, while the Echoplex, Bar Flores, Donna's, and other restaurants, shops, and nightlife along Sunset are all in your backyard. It's a low-key, stylish retreat in the middle of Echo Park, truly one of LA's coolest neighborhoods.
