Property Description

Originally built in 1976 and thoughtfully reimagined by an architect and designer with a refined Scandinavian sensibility, this elevated 3 bed, 2 bath home sits atop Division Street at the convergence of Mount Washington, Glassell Park, Highland Park, and Eagle Rock. Spanning approximately 1,815 square feet on a large lot, the single-level residence pairs sweeping hillside views of the Angeles National Forest with generous outdoor space and a warm, sophisticated, and design-forward palette of European white oak, walnut, brushed metal, and sculptural lighting. A two-car garage and extensive improvements to the home's systems, including owned solar panels, a cool roof, newer HVAC, tankless water heater, electrical panel, and sewer line and foundation upgrades, add to the home's appeal. Inside, wide-plank European white oak floors extend throughout the light-filled interiors. A striking custom walnut built-in bench with an integrated desk welcomes you at the entry, while the adjoining living room is anchored by a striking decorative fireplace with an architectural aluminum-accented surround. The spacious dining area flows into a beautifully appointed kitchen featuring walnut cabinetry and floating shelves, Pental quartz countertops, and Fisher & Paykel appliances. The spacious living area opens directly to the backyard, creating a natural connection to outdoor dining and entertaining.Down the hall, a stylish full bath retains its original retro mid-century countertop, paired with warm walnut cabinetry and modern, contrasting hardware. Two guest rooms feature curated lighting and upgraded closet systems, one including an additional desk space. A dedicated laundry room provides ample storage. Privately positioned at the end of the central hallway, the primary suite opens directly to the backyard and includes an ensuite bath with a generous walnut double vanity, a separately enclosed bath/shower, and water closet. Outside, drought-tolerant landscaping complements the home's clean architectural lines. A mature Palo Verde tree anchors the front garden, while the expansive rear pad extends from the kitchen, dining area, and primary suite, offering ample space to lounge, dine, and entertain beneath mature trees. Mature tangerine, Meyer lemon, and persimmon trees add to the established landscape. Thoughtful exterior improvements include smooth Santa Barbara stucco accents, a tiled front porch, drip irrigation, and refreshed landscaping.Curated lighting from Ferm Living, Kelly Wearstler, and Sonneman completes the cohesive aesthetic, while substantial infrastructure improvements provide the benefits of efficient modern living.
