Perched on the lower slopes of Mount Washington, this turnkey 2-bed, 1.5-bath California Bungalow offers 832 sq ft of light-filled open-concept living on an expansive 6,385 sq ft lot. The freshly painted interior features wide-plank flooring in a warm blonde finish, newer dual-pane windows, energy-efficient LED lighting with Lutron switches and Philips Hue lighting, an updated quartz kitchen with stainless steel appliances, and updated bathrooms featuring quartz countertops. An eco-friendly ethanol fireplace adds warm ambiance whether you're cooking, dining, or relaxing with guests in the main living space, while a separate laundry room with custom built-in storage shelves is thoughtfully positioned just off the back.While the interior is effortlessly stylish, opening the mahogany rear door reveals the true centerpiece of the home: an expansive outdoor retreat featuring a 4-tiered backyard. Host incredible gatherings on the multi-tiered custom deck with modern industrial cable railings, unwind in the dedicated hot tub area with multiple seating zones, or enjoy the lush grass lawn or the drought-tolerant upper tier. The outdoor grounds double as a private hillside retreat, complete with native succulents, Bird of Paradise, and a mature mini orchard featuring Olive, Zapote, Loquat, Lemon, Mandarin, Lime, and Apple trees. Best of all, your guests will take in amazing sunset views and sweeping, unobstructed panoramic vistas stretching across the mountains, Elysian Valley, and Griffith Observatory, capped off by front-row seats to Dodger Stadium fireworks. Finding ample parking in the hills is never an issue here, thanks to a newly added decomposed granite parking pad with room for up to 3 vehicles, separated from the tiered yard by a stylish ornamental metal fence.High-value infrastructure updates provide complete peace of mind, including a newer epoxy rubber roof, updated attic and crawl space insulation, new HVAC servicing, fresh exterior elastomeric rubber paint, and a new 200-amp electrical panel with futures run for additional backyard lighting. All of this located just minutes from the transformational LA River Taylor Yard park project and neighborhood hot spots including Barra Santos, Loquat Coffee, Dunsmoor, Lingua Franca, Maciel's, The Pottery Studio and Permanent Records Roadhouse--a popular hybrid record store, bar, and outdoor live music venue.
