Description
Perched amidst the treetops of Mount Washington, this tastefully remodeled mid-century offers a rare blend of privacy, light, and sweeping canyon views. A gated entrance opens to 2 levels of outdoor decking; ideal for al fresco dining, barbecuing, or reading in the sun. French doors open into the living room and create a seamless flow between the public rooms and outdoor spaces. The open floor plan draws air and light between the kitchen, living and dining rooms - keeping it cool and lit all day. The bedrooms and kitchen open to a deck where the greenbelt sits before you - inviting morning coffee above the trees or sunset evenings overlooking the canyon. Featuring three bedrooms and two bathrooms, and oriented for ideal indoor-outdoor living, the space blends thoughtful modern updates with the relaxed charm of a classic, mid-century bungalow. Removed from the din of the city, but only minutes from the vibrancy of Highland Park, Eagle Rock, and the best of the East Side. Walk to Carlin G Smith Rec. Center, Seaview Ave/Bob Schofield Park, Moon Canyon and Heidelberg Park. Located in the coveted Mt. Washington School district, the home captures the essence of NELA living - serenity that's effortlessly connected to the city.
