Mount Washington Retreat with Stunning Views & Transformative Potential! Perched on a ridge in Mount Washington’s serene hills, where city noise fades into sweeping vistas, this 1,300 SF, 2-bed, 2-bath haven redefines living. Enter via the garage, where a new epoxy floor sets a stylish tone. Built on a steep downslope with no other entrance—a great security feature for peace of mind—this retreat offers unmatched privacy and jaw-dropping views of the San Gabriel Valley and its majestic mountains. Step into an open, light-filled layout with sliding glass doors flanking a cozy fireplace, opening to a 30-foot east-facing balcony, perfect for morning sunrises with coffee or evening cocktails. The newly remodeled kitchen dazzles with new stainless-steel appliances, fresh cabinetry, and a chic island for cooking and gatherings. Choose the ground-floor bedroom with attached bath or the 600+ SF primary bedroom loft with bathroom, which is spacious enough to double as an office and/or den. Natural light floods every corner, enhancing the home’s modern vibe. Mount Washington’s lush hills and Moon Canyon trails create a peaceful escape for hikes or strolls. Highland Park’s vibrant dining and shops are minutes away, with Downtown LA nearby. Mount Washington Elementary is just 1 mile away. OPPORTUNITY: ideal for an investor, flipper, or home buyer ready to bring their vision to life and build equity. There is about 975 SF unfinished lower level of which about 800+ SF may be usable, already enclosed by the exterior walls. Outside staircase accesses this level today. Unfinished and not included in the 1,300 SF. Truly a blank slate for a creative buyer! Architect-designed floor plans and 3D renderings showcase two of many possible visions: (1) an ADU with kitchen and living room for rental income. (2) more than a 60% expansion to 2,100 SF, adding 2 bedrooms, a bathroom, office, or bonus room, creating a 4-bedroom, 3-bath home. A professional appraiser with 35 years of experience just appraised this property at $1.525 million, which doesn't even account for the unfinished 800+ SF lower level’s untapped potential. Buyer to verify square footage and feasibility of ADU or expansion. This rare gem blends modern upgrades, including owned solar panels and tankless water heater, soul-stirring views, plus a blank canvas for expanding your dream home or building an ADU in the unfinished lower level for rental income. LOVE WHERE YOU LIVE!
