More Insights
Built in 1962 (63 years old).
Condition: This 1962-built home has undergone extensive and high-quality renovations, making it move-in ready. The kitchen is fully modernized with Caesarstone countertops, stainless-steel appliances (including a built-in microwave drawer and wine refrigerator), shaker-style cabinets, and subway tile backsplash. Both bathrooms are also thoroughly updated with modern vanities, fixtures, and contemporary tiling, including a glass-enclosed shower with a bench in the primary. Hardwood floors and recessed lighting are present throughout the main living areas, contributing to a fresh, modern aesthetic. While the visible components are virtually new and of excellent quality, the property's overall score is tempered by the explicit mention of a 'Lack of Central Air Conditioning,' which is a significant amenity for current quality standards in Los Angeles, preventing an 'Excellent' rating despite the superb condition of the renovated spaces.

About this home
Set in the verdant hills of Mount Washington, this updated mid-century home offers an easy, open layout built around its defining feature: stunning panoramic views that anchor both the living and dining areas.

The charming kitchen flows effortlessly to the dining area and features Caesarstone countertops, a center island, stainless-steel appliances, a built-in drawer microwave, and a wine refrigerator. The primary bedroom, with private access to the deck, is joined by two additional bedrooms, including one with a built-in Murphy bed that maximizes flexibility for guests or a home office. The oversized two-car garage could add a multi-purpose room as an art studio, gym or workstation. Located in the highly coveted Mt.Washington Elementary School boundary and mere minutes to all the great spots in Highland Park, this home has it all.

Cons
Compact Interior Square Footage: At 924 sqft for a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home, the interior living space is relatively small, which may not suit buyers seeking more expansive rooms.
