About This Home

Perched in the hills of Mount Washington on a corner lot, this enchanting 2-bedroom, 2-bath home blends timeless Spanish character with thoughtful modern updates. Bathed in natural light, the home offers stunning views of the San Gabriel Mountains from nearly every room, creating a serene backdrop for daily living. Rich in classic Spanish charm, the residence features warm architectural details (hello arches), plus an inviting single level layout. A grand living room with cathedral style vaulted ceilings is anchored by a timeless fireplace. The updated kitchen is equipped with newer appliances and looks out on to both a breakfast bar and a true well sized dining room. The primary suite opens up to one of the many outdoor spaces, and boasts a brand new renovated en-suite bathroom perfectly styled with Zia tile and designed with original character in mind. Outdoor living is a true highlight, with approximately 600 square feet of decking with multiple seating areas, ideal for entertaining or simply soaking in the views. While the newly landscaped and enclosed yard creates a peaceful, usable outdoor retreat. New expertly engineered retaining walls plus new fencing and electronic entry gates provide structure, elevated curb appeal and privacy. A detached one car garage completes the home offering a great storage option, or even an opportunity for a future ADU or studio. Set within the highly sought-after Mount Washington school district, this home delivers a rare combination of charm, upgrades, and location. A true hillside gem that captures the essence of California living.
