Step into one of Highland Park's most treasured homes. This 3 bed, 2 bath 1892 Craftsman masterpiece and LA Historic-Cultural Monument No. 373, the Arroyo Stone House also known as the Beach-Johnson house. Located on storied Professor's Row, this architectural gem was originally built by Elizabeth Y. Gordon, a poet, philanthropist, and pioneering real estate developer who helped shape the early Occidental College campus community. Constructed with native Arroyo Seco river rock, the home proudly retains its original stone siding, oak floors, unpainted moldings, built-in cabinetry, artisan windows, and Craftsman porch all lovingly preserved and restored with sensitivity and style. The warm, welcoming interior is filled with light and character, blending timeless craftsmanship with modern living. The thoughtfully designed kitchen features soapstone counters, a farmhouse sink, and a vibrant red vintage stove, creating a perfect hub for both everyday life and lively gatherings. A private study and generous finished attic offer quiet, flexible spaces ideal for working or creating from home. Modern upgrades include central heat and air, a fully gated yard with electric gate, 2 parking spots, an EV charger and meticulously landscaped by Terremoto, the renowned landscape design firm named to the prestigious AD100 list, celebrated for their innovative and site-sensitive approach to outdoor spaces. Situated in the heart of the Highland Park-Garvanza Historic Preservation Overlay Zone, this home is a rare opportunity to live within living history where architecture, artistry, and Los Angeles legacy meet. In close proximity to all the hot spots in Highland Park, Belle's Deli, Hippo, Joy, Cook Book, Highly Likely, Kitchen Mouse, and Civil Coffee just to name a few!
