Executive Summary

Historic Elysian Heights Compound — Turnkey School or Live/Work Opportunity
Tucked into the cozy, tree-lined streets of Elysian Heights, this rare two-building compound offers a truly unique opportunity for an owner-user, investor, or educator. Currently operating as a beloved neighborhood pre-school, this institution was founded in the late 1960s and officially licensed in the 1970s — a cherished community fixture in Elysian Heights for over 50 years.
The property features two distinct structures: a charming Craftsman-style front building of approximately 1,108 SF, full of vintage character, and a spacious rear building of approximately 2,000 SF bathed in natural light. Together they offer flexibility rarely found in this tightly held pocket of Echo Park.

A Property of Many Possibilities:
- Continue as a School — Step into a turnkey opportunity to operate an established, licensed educational institution with deep neighborhood roots and a built-in legacy of trust.
- Live/Work or Rental Income — Zoned R2-1VL, the property also permits residential use. Owner-users could occupy one building while leasing the other, or investors could reposition both for rental income.
- Artist's Studio Potential — The rear building's abundant natural light makes it a compelling candidate for conversion into an artist's studio or creative workspace.

Located moments from the shops, cafes, and hiking trails that make Elysian Heights and Echo Park so sought-after, this is a one-of-a-kind offering in a neighborhood where properties like this rarely come to market. A can't-miss opportunity for the right buyer.
