Description

A stunning Mount Washington escape with snow-capped mountain vistas is the perfect place for privacy and quiet, nature exploration and sightings of soaring hawks and birds (binoculars included). This 1950s bungalow features 2 bedrooms and 2 beautifully upgraded baths with heritage tile, oak hardwood floors and a seemingly endless amount of built-ins. Rare 28-light French doors off the central hallway open to a primary suite with a double-sided fireplace, separate areas for lounging and working, and walls of glass looking out to the magical garden and views of the San Gabriels. The light and bright kitchen packs a punch with custom cabinetry, a black soapstone sink, luxury appliances including a double oven and a walk-in pocket pantry designed for the serious home chef. The heart of the home is the grand living room with a dramatic exposed boxed-beam ceiling, the other side of the double fireplace and floor-to-ceiling sliding doors that create the feeling of living not "close to" but "in" nature. A perfectly built-in office off the kitchen checks yet another box, but that's nothing compared to the over 320 square foot garage that is not only rare for this part of MW, but could be transformed into additional living or studio space (there is also a giant parking pad). Not to be outdone, the over 8,000 sq ft lot planted with delicate natives, lush angel's trumpets and privacy trees provides an entertainer's paradise with separate areas connected by curving paths of aged red brick. All this and you are moments from the top of the hill and the award-winning elementary school, yet equally close to everything Northeast LA has to offer in terms of shopping, culture, craft cocktails and not one, but four Michelin Guide featured restaurants.
