Hollywood Heights is one of those neighborhoods where people tend to stay in place for decades. That’s why it’s often hard to find a home for sale here, especially one under $700,000. So this beautiful historic cottage is quite the find. When you find one you like in this market, you move quickly, or it’s gone.
The neighborhood is well known for having one of the largest collections of stone-embellished Tudor cottages in America and a spectacular annual home tour. What is not as well known is that each street here has a distinct character.
For instance, if you move onto Newell Avenue, you will find neighbor Liz Simmons puts on a legendary holiday display each year, alternating between Christmas and Halloween. This is also the site of the best Easter parade in town. For its part, Hammond Avenue has an annual fantasy football contest and beer run. If you lose, you have to run a block, chug a beer, then run another block, chug a beer, and so on for four blocks. As for the neighborhood’s St. Patrick’s Day party, it is hosted on Patricia Street. You get the idea.
This historic cottage is on Clermont Avenue, which, for the past few years, has been party central. It’s where the chili cook-off and the margarita contest have been held. So, yes, if you nab this home, you score immediate friends and a guarantee of food and fun on a regular basis.
On days you don’t feel like socializing, you can enjoy being a spectator in this 1940 charmer. It has a splendid sunroom with a massive bay window to the right just as you enter the front door. It’s a perfect spot to start and end each day.
