Introducing for the first time in over 50 years this grand two-story Dutch Colonial Revival in Echo Park's premiere historic Angelino Heights HPOZ. Built in 1903 by renowned architect Arthur B. Benton, it has many original period details: pocket doors, quality exposed woodwork, and original light fixtures. Benton incorporated Gothic and Craftsman features, his signature design skills, throughout this home. Check out the fireplace mantle which he emblazoned with depictions of Medieval scenes. There is huge potential with this Victorian-era diamond in the rough, ready for its new owner to restore it to its original splendor! Rooms include a closed-in porch, living room, dining room, parlor, kitchen, 4 bedrooms, 2 baths, an attic and a basement. With some passion and genuine "TLC" this home could be remarkably restored and may qualify for the Mills Act program which would offer substantial Property Tax savings. Inspection reports are available for review.
