In 2004, Jorge Gutiérrez and Sandra Equihua, the creative husband and wife team behind the multiple Emmy Award-winning animated television series El Tigre, The Adventures of Manny Rivera, and the Book of Life, moved from Culver City to live in their first home, a spacious condo in Burbank. Built on a street with a backdrop of mountains, their spacious single-level condo strikes the perfect balance between a quiet home life and enjoying the energy of a vibrant city. It’s also near the most recognized media companies in the world, including Warner Bros., The Walt Disney Company, Cartoon Network, and Nickelodeon. As their home hits the market, Jorge and Sandra reflect on living close to work and raising their son, Luca. Jorge: “We were renting in Culver City. We lived a block away from Sony.

It’s a historic stair street dating back to the early 1900s when LA was “well-served by trolleys, streetcars, buses, and light-rail systems.” Lined with bungalows of a bygone era, the street crosses Glendale Blvd to Allesandro Way, offering residents an enchanting hidden enclave in the city.

Luxury is an experience. You’ll be reminded of this every time you pull up to this home on a palm tree-lined street in prime Echo Park . It’s one of four Spanish-style residences offered for sale in a new Tenancy in Common (TIC) community named Casa Laveta. The unit, occupying the lower floor, has a private yard with new landscaping arranged to grow into a screen of privacy.
