Description
Explosive 180 degree views and magical gardens - a rare creative compound in the hills of Mount Washington. Set on a lush 7,485 sq ft hillside lot overlooking the San Gabriel Valley and surrounding mountains, this private retreat offers a rare blend of nature, character, and flexible living spaces just minutes from the best of Northeast Los Angeles. The grounds unfold like a hidden park, with fruit trees, flowering gardens, winding pathways, and a serene Japanese tea house tucked among the landscape. Two mature avocado trees produce hundreds of delicious fruit each year, alongside grapefruit, pomelo, fig, and other trees that create shaded spaces to relax and explore. The remodeled, light-filled main house blends vintage character with thoughtful modern updates and an open layout designed for effortless indoor-outdoor living. Sunlight fills the interiors throughout the day, highlighting wood floors, a spacious living room with fireplace, a sunroom with oversized windows, and a modern chef's kitchen that complements the home's original charm. Outdoor living spaces including a generous view deck are positioned to capture sweeping mountain, valley, and city vistas. The primary bedroom features a walk-in closet and private patio with peaceful views. Down a separate set of steps, a bedroom and bathroom with adjoining patio offer flexible space for guests, creative work, a home office, or multi-generational living. Adding to the property's unique appeal, a dedicated recording and artist studio with lounge area and half bath provides a rare and highly functional creative work space ideal for musicians, podcasters, voice artists, or anyone seeking a secluded place to create. Located within the highly regarded Mount Washington Elementary School and Washington Irving Middle Math / Music / Engineering Magnet School district, close to Highland Park, Eagle Rock, Silver Lake, and DTLA, the home offers easy access to cafes, dining, parks, and hiking trails. Long known as a quietly iconic hillside enclave, Mount Washington continues to attract artists, musicians, and other creatives drawn to its nature, views, and architectural individuality.
