Escape the hustle of LA and own a little piece of paradise with this charming 1955 mid-century sanctuary overlooking lush canyon views. Perched in the desirable northern Highland Park hills on one of the most sought-after streets in town, and just a short stroll to trendy York Blvd, this beautiful home combines the priceless luxury of serenity, timeless design, and urban convenience. As you open the front door and enter the living room, three floor-to-ceiling windows showcasing the hillside and trees greet you and, instantly, you are immersed in the organic spirit of the home. From the living room, a mosaic arch doorway leads you through a bright kitchen which blends original charm with upgraded stainless-steel appliances. The living room and kitchen effortlessly flow into a dining area which opens onto a large-scale deck, an extension of the interior living space- seamlessly blending the indoors and outdoors. Overlooking panoramic hills and amazing sunsets, this versatile deck is ideal for entertaining, and quiet moments over coffee or a glass of wine. At the opposite end of the house, two comfortable bedrooms bathed in daylight welcome you, as well as a charming bathroom with gorgeous Ming green marble floors and an eye-catching mosaic vanity top. Located at the end of the hall, the primary bedroom is a spacious private retreat with two large windows unveiling vibrant foliage, while the soothing sound of a waterfall completes this treasure's captivating atmosphere. The authentic characteristics of this 2 bedroom 1 bath have been preserved with its unique architectural style, iconic post and beam design, flowing open concept, angular walls and floor-to-ceiling windows. This home also features HVAC, has recently been updated with a new roof, and the generous 6,970 sq ft terraced lot includes a flat surface which can accommodate an ADU or pool. If charm, character and nature is your vibe, this is an absolute must see.
