Description
Magical Mount Washington. Privately perched above a gorgeous garden, with panoramic vista views, this quintessential hillside retreat was the one-time residence of iconic new wave band Devo during their early days recording in 1970s Los Angeles. Ascend through an extensive native garden with raised bed planters, fruit trees, colorful spring blooms, and shady spots to quietly take in nature and the surrounding canyon. Greeted by a gorgeous redwood porch and wraparound deck, the well apportioned home of 1,290sf has been incredibly maintained and upgraded over the years. An open concept plan offers living and dining spaces with large picture windows bringing in lots of natural light and views. The functional kitchen offers plenty of storage plus washer/dryer closet. A large primary bedroom with bathroom orients toward the yard and hillsides beyond. Two additional well-sized rooms and a hall bath offer comfort and privacy for the entire family. Music lovers will appreciate the 4th bedroom/den, currently used as a listening room with custom built-in wood cabinetry for your favorite LPs and record player. The outdoor entertaining spaces are a sizable extension to the home with high quality finishes like the large redwood deck with shaded pergola, cafe lighting, and premium outdoor kitchen with Lynx grill and Viking side burner. A detached studio of 151sf is wonderful as an office space, gym, or workshop. Don't miss the observatory perch, a secluded place to unwind at sunset. Owned solar panels and Tesla Powerwall offset significant energy costs and provide off-grid back up power. This special, nature-centered retreat provides quick access to the neighborhood's secret walking trails, Mount Washington Elementary, the Metro A Line station, and Figueroa Boulevard with some of our favorite hotspots - Gold Line, Cookbook Market, Hippo, Blind Barber, and Highly Likely!
