407 Benton Way

Welcome to 407 N. Benton Way - a beautifully restored 1914 Craftsman home nestled in the vibrant Echo Park/Silver Lake neighborhood. This 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath residence blends timeless architectural charm with thoughtful modern updates. Step inside to original hardwood flooring, stunning built-in features, and classic woodwork that celebrate the home's rich history. The spacious living room centers around a gorgeous original fireplace, and just beyond, you'll find three light-filled bedrooms with multiple windows that invite in abundant natural light. The bright back bedroom offers flexibility as a home office or creative studio. The kitchen and baths offer modern convenience while preserving the Craftsman soul of the home. Outside, enjoy California living on the covered front porch or entertain guests in the backyard, complete with a gazebo, new landscaping, and an efficient irrigation system. The newly installed redwood fencing provides privacy and style, complemented by fresh greenery in both the front and back yards. A rare bonus: The property is zoned LARD2, which allows for the development of 4 residential units on the lot making this an excellent opportunity for future expansion or income potential. The existing 450 sq ft insolated detached garage features a new roof, wall-mounted A/C and has the perfect foundation to be converted into a legal ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit), subject to city approval. Use it now as a studio, gym, or entertainment room or explore its full potential as an income-generating or multi-generational living space. Located just minutes from Echo Park Lake, Sunset Blvd hotspots, Silver Lake dining, and some of LA's best cafes, music venues, and boutique shops. This is the ideal blend of character, comfort, and city living with a development upside.
