Tucked behind gates and set well back from the street, this Mt. Washington contemporary feels worlds away from the city, yet remains connected to everything that makes Northeast Los Angeles so appealing. Surrounded by mature greenery, the home’s warm wood exterior settles naturally into its hillside setting, creating the feeling of a private retreat among the trees. Inside, sunlight fills an expansive living room that opens onto a generous deck with sweeping views, inviting an easy rhythm between indoors and out. Thoughtfully renovated interiors feature an open kitchen with custom cabinetry and Caesarstone countertops, hardwood floors, designer tile, and updated systems. On the lower level, three spacious bedrooms offer quiet, leafy outlooks, including a primary suite with its own balcony, ample closets, and a beautifully appointed bath. Multiple outdoor spaces provide inviting places to entertain, unwind, or simply enjoy the breeze. A finished two-car garage with heating and air conditioning offers flexibility for a home office, gym, or creative studio, with additional off-street parking for guests. Beyond the gates, Elyria Canyon’s winding trails and neighborhood favorites such as Barra Santos, Loquat Coffee, Dunsmoor, Bub & Grandma’s, and Wife and the Somm are all within easy reach, along with convenient connections to Downtown LA, Pasadena, Glendale, and the Valley. It’s a home that offers something increasingly difficult to find in Los Angeles: a genuine sense of escape without having to leave the city behind.
