Create something truly special on one of Mount Washington’s premier streets. Welcome to 3814 San Rafael Avenue, located on one of the most prestigious and desirable streets in all of Mount Washington. This rare offering sits on an expansive 19,000 SQFT LOT and delivers an unmatched opportunity to build a legacy property in a neighborhood defined by architectural pedigree, natural beauty, and community connection. The lot opens with a 2 CAR DETACHED GARAGE & Generous 10,000 SQFT footprint at street level—an ideal canvas for a multilevel architectural development, with the primary living space perched perfectly to capture sweeping views that stretch all the way to Long Beach. Beyond this lies an additional 5,000 sqft flat pad, accessible from a separate road—ideal for a guest house, ADU, studio, or future development. This wide, four-lane paved street—exceptionally rare in Mount Washington—offers convenient access while maintaining a peaceful, residential atmosphere. Just down the street are two of Mount Washington’s most celebrated landmarks. Mount Washington Elementary, one of LAUSD’s top-performing and most sought-after elementary schools, draws families from across the city thanks to its intimate campus, high academic standards, and holistic approach to education. Also nearby is the serene Self-Realization Fellowship, a global spiritual destination founded by Paramahansa Yogananda. Residents enjoy access to its peaceful meditation gardens and breathtaking canyon views—an unmatched local amenity.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
