717 N Highland Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90038

Jay Vanos Architects, 2005. True loft for lease in the area along Melrose where the West Hollywood, Hollywood, Beverly-Grove and Hancock Park neighborhoods all meet. This “Media District” features great restaurants, shopping and quiet tree-lined streets check-by-jowl with Jeffrey Deitch Gallery, Tartine Bakery and Hollywood production companies (literally across the street from Pizzeria Mozza; Petit Trois; The Cat & Fiddle and more). This quiet, sunny, rear corner unit, one of the largest in the 27-unit condominium, opens through large windows to lush plantings to the west. Enter via a gate on Highland; the rear gate or drive into your private garage. Fully live-work; low-traffic businesses are allowed under the commercial zoning here. The lower level can be partitioned off or entirely used with the garage for a studio/workshop (as it is currently) with its own mini-split for heating and cooling. Soaring ceilings on the main level one flight up, with one grand volume for living, cooking and dining. The flex/guest bedroom or office on this level has its own full bathroom. The top level is the primary suite, open to the level below. A bridge here leads to the spacious roof terrace with sweeping views south, west and north to the Hollywood Hills.
