About this home
Nestled atop Mt. Angelus in one of Highland Park's most sought-after locations, this exceptional street-to-street home sits along one of Los Angeles' historic walks. Blending artistic character with architectural heritage, it offers a rare street-level entry on the main floor and convenient access to a two-car garage from below, an uncommon combination that provides both ease and privacy on the hillside. Built in 1925, the residence embodies the romantic soul of early Southern California design - arched ceilings, rich wood floors, and hand-crafted details - beautifully balanced by more modern updates that make everyday living effortless. This is a home where historic preservation meets thoughtful innovation, resulting in something truly enchanting. Step through the front door and be greeted by sweeping views of the San Gabriel Mountains, the Mt. Wilson Observatory, spectacular Rose Bowl fireworks, and on crystal-clear days, the majestic Mt. Baldy. The barrel-vaulted formal living room sets a dramatic yet inviting tone, filled with natural light and endless sky. Every room unfolds with purpose - a dining room with a tree house-inspired feel, a chef's kitchen, and a sitting room connect seamlessly to the garden terrace, inviting gatherings that flow from indoors to outdoors. For those who love to cook and entertain, the kitchen is ideal, featuring a large center island with a cooktop, double ovens, a walk-in pantry, and abundant storage. Whether you're hosting a dinner party under candlelight, enjoying a barbecue, or savoring a quiet evening, this home adapts to every mood and moment. Upstairs, two spacious secondary bedrooms provide versatility for guests, work, or creative pursuits. The lower level unfolds as an expansive private sanctuary, thoughtfully transformed into a primary suite that could easily serve as an ADU or "in-law" apartment offering potential rental income. With its own interior and exterior entrances, dual walk-in closets (one with a private half bath), and a spa-like en-suite bath with an infinity soaking tub, it offers both versatility and indulgent comfort - framed by serene views that invite pure relaxation. Thoughtful updates enhance peace of mind, including a gated entry, cellular alarm system, a 16-channel camera network, newer electrical wiring, an electric car charging port, tankless water heater, seismic retrofitting, and a newer air conditioning system. This hillside enclave offers unrivaled access to Figueroa & York, the Metro Line, numerous dining hotspots, happening bars, great coffee hangs, shopping, and artistic explorations that continually redefine Highland Park as the place to live. Other nearby amenities include Arroyo Dog Park, the scenic hiking trails in Ernest Debs Park, Dodger Stadium, and other iconic Southern California attractions. If it's possible to live car-free in L.A., this is the place to do it - your perfect sweet spot!
