1931 Mariposa Ave Apartment

Welcome home to this character-rich Mariposa residence, set on a quiet tree-lined street and tucked within a charming triplex that feels both peaceful and perfectly connected to the best of the neighborhood. Just moments from Vermont Ave favorites like The Punchbowl, Loupiotte Kitchen, and House of Pies, and only a quick drive to Hillhurst staples including Home, Maru Coffee, Alcove Bakery, the new Wilde’s, and more. The location keeps you close to everything while still feeling like your own hidden pocket of the city. A shared front patio and lush greenery welcome you in, setting the tone before you even step inside. This lower-level unit blends thoughtful updates with preserved original charm, creating a space that feels fresh, warm, and full of personality. Just inside, an adorable window seat catches the light and instantly invites you to slow down with a book, morning coffee, or an afternoon iced tea. The living room is expansive and centered around a striking floor-to-ceiling decorative fireplace that brings texture and character to the space. Off the living room, a bonus den offers flexibility for a dining area, home office, reading lounge, or creative studio. Pass by a hidden nook area and you are greeted by a traditional dining space as well, giving the layout both charm and versatility. The kitchen holds onto its vintage soul while offering practical updates. An iconic O’Keefe & Merritt stove anchors the space, paired with a refrigerator, dishwasher, and stacked washer and dryer. There is plenty of room for an eat-in setup, extra storage, or open shelving to style the space your way. Both bedrooms are set toward the back of the home for added privacy and are generously sized with wall-to-wall closets. One bedroom looks out onto lush greenery for a serene, tucked-away feel, while both enjoy views toward the shared backyard. The bathroom is bright and timeless with classic black and white tile, clean lines, and cabinetry that offers smart, modern storage. Out back, the shared outdoor space will soon feel like a small urban oasis again. The lawn is currently being re-seeded to welcome fresh grass and a revitalized green space. In the meantime, mature fruit trees, open space to stretch out, and a recently refreshed patio create the perfect setting for slow weekend mornings, afternoon hangs, or evening dinners outside. This is one of those rare homes that balances original charm with thoughtful updates, generous space, and an inviting layout that feels instantly comfortable. A special Mariposa find within a sweet triplex setting, ready to welcome its next chapter!
