Anchoring the Highland Park neighborhood since built in 1915, the grand and Historic Finis E. Yoakum House offers the luxury of both space and privacy. The property uniquely affords multiple lifestyle options and whose importance was recognized early as City of Los Angeles Cultural Monument #287. Three stories of living space incorporate a spacious two-story entry that opens to Gatsbyesque living and dining rooms magnificently detailed in the Tudor/Craftsman Style. Eight bedrooms, and six baths, provide privacy and enough space for a large family, multi-generational living, a private foundation, or museum. A thorough renovation in 2018 included an updated kitchen, 2 baths, and many systems. A rare full basement measuring 2625 square feet with both indoor and outdoor entries, afford the potential development of a home theatre, music studio, workshops, or at a minimum, a small warehouse worth of storage space. Additional amenities include an office, library, breakfast room, spacious kitchen, laundry, living and sleeping porches on two floors, generous grounds, and detached garage. The property is sited on .40 acres with a park-like front lawn, two entry gates and guest parking for multiple cars. Not only is the property well-suited for entertaining, its location is just one block from Figueroa, and walking distance to some of the best shops and nightlife Highland Park has to offer.
