Property Description

Mount Washington Craftsman with views and an expansive lot. Uniquely positioned at the end of a cul-de-sac on a coveted street near an entrance to the 35-acre Elyria Canyon Park, this location offers a peaceful setting with nature and hiking trails at your doorstep. Perched above the street with a commanding presence, the home invites you to soak in sweeping canyon views from the quintessential Craftsman front porch or through the picture windows. The home feels substantial, featuring large rooms and great character, including a stately fireplace flanked by stained glass windows. The thoughtfully designed interiors flow effortlessly, blending the warmth of classic craftsmanship with modern upgrades like the remodeled kitchen and bathrooms, HVAC, paid-off Tesla solar and Powerwall, and an EV charger. Two upstairs bedrooms feature ample closets, casement windows that frame canyon and skyline views, and French doors leading to a large wrap around deck with views of the Griffith Observatory. Downstairs features a family room and two bedrooms, one with an ensuite bathroom and doors leading outside. The large, mostly flat lot offers many possibilities for creating additional space and gardens to enjoy. At the back of the lot is a storage shed surrounded by California native grasses. Sustainability is seamlessly integrated with a greywater system and a newly permitted retaining wall. Nearby are the tranquil Self-Realization Fellowship gardens and the highly sought-after Mt. Washington Elementary School. A short distance down the hill, there are many hip restaurants and cafes in Highland Park and adjacent Northeast LA neighborhoods. This house also comes with some Hollywood history as John Howard Lawson, a founding member of the Screen Writers Guild and one of the legendary Hollywood Ten, once owned it. This is a rare opportunity in an unbeatable location where history, nature, and modern living converge.
