Description

A soulful, airy creative retreat with an artist's studio, tucked into the foothills of Mount Washington. Behind more than 90' of walled and gated frontage, a courtyard garden with California native plantings and an orange tree sets a peaceful tone, leading to the home's low-slung river rock front entry. Inside, the heart of the 1,340sf residence is the open concept living and dining area, set below vaulted and beamed ceilings with skylights that fill the space with natural light all day long. Lime washed walls and an oversized fireplace mantel bring texture and warmth. The charming pink kitchen features butcher block countertops and leaded glass antique windows, while French doors open to an outdoor dining terrace framed by a dramatic bougainvillea showpiece. The primary suite is a calming retreat, with a soothing color palette, designer touches, and a private balcony with vista views stretching toward Griffith Park. A second bedroom and cheerful hall bath with tub complete this wing of the home. Off the living room, a third bedroom or office peers out to the greenery of the lower garden. The property continues to unfold with a 488sf conditioned artist's studio, currently used by the owner as a ceramic studio. Expansive and highly functional, the space includes a brand new mini split HVAC system, utility sink, custom shelving, and a large hidden storage area. French doors open to more of the yard, leading to a bricked patio with sweeping views, a perfect place for summer entertaining. Nearby, a shaded pergola provides gated off-street parking. Descend into the lower garden designed by NUstudio, offering another layer of retreat, with a seating area surrounded by potted cactus specimens, a field of native California bent grasses, plus pomegranate and citrus trees. Beneath the bricked patio, an open-air workshop provides yet another flexible creative space with practical storage. Rich with character and designed for true indoor outdoor living, this creative home offers privacy, great energy and flow, and year round beautiful Southern California light. Moments from neighborhood favorites including Loquat Coffee, Lemon Poppy Kitchen, Barra Santos, Bub & Grandma's, and Dunsmoor; with close proximity to the 2 and 110 freeways for effortless commuting around town.
