1756 Lucretia Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90026

Accepting Back Up Offers. Located in Echo Park, one of Los Angeles' most culturally rich enclaves, 1756 Lucretia Avenue is a rare offering set on a quietly revered hilltop street. This charming 1940s hillside cottage blends thoughtful restoration, period integrity, and a premier location with everyday livability and future development potential on one of the only remaining street-to-street R2 lots in the area. A redwood entry gate and cedar fencing create an immediate sense of privacy, while the romantic front garden unfolds as a curated native landscape featuring Matilija poppy, lemonade berry hedges, toyon, manzanita, buckwheat, coyote bush, sage, agave, yarrow, rosemary, and an olive tree, all supported by drip irrigation. Inside, meticulous restoration is immediately evident, beginning with a period-inspired palette influenced by Benjamin Moore's historic Paqua colors of the 1940s and 1950s. A freshly painted peacock-toned entry opens into a light-filled living room where original redwood windows, restored hardwood floors (2020), classic mouldings, and period sconces honor the home's Los Angeles heritage. Garden views, along with peek-a-boo glimpses of the Hollywood Sign and Griffith Observatory, enhance the space. A thoughtfully opened wall improves flow between the living, dining, and kitchen areas. The kitchen has been fully reimagined with marble countertops, period-inspired tile from Mission Tile West, a vintage Wedgwood range, Bosch refrigerator, custom-built cabine
