The capstone of the northeast LA real estate renaissance finally available for purchase for the first time: a multi- structure compound on a 1.1 acre lot at the top of the desirable Mt Washington area, the hills above Eagle Rock and Highland Park. Architect Fred Fisher's East Side masterpiece, the main living space crowns the property, offering breathtaking 360-degree views of the entire San Gabriel Valley to Catalina Island. The retractable glass walls flanking the open floor plan create the sensation of being outdoors on a mountain top, yet safe from the elements beneath a stunning, pitched cabinet ceiling. Built in 2009, this timeless architectural showcases forward-thinking amenities rarely found even in new builds: radiant heated floors, an invisible imbedded speaker system, and a large scale, Neutra - inspired fireplace, just to name a few. The adjacent structure designed by architect Lawrence Linder, features an equally striking and inspiring studio tastefully orchestrating the mountain top views with a flood of natural light. Marrying form to function, this creative space with full bathroom and kitchenette can be used for any imaginative purpose: office, art or exercise/yoga room, recording studio, guest house, etc. Down the brick footpath from the main house lies the charming & rustic cottage that anchors the property to its midcentury roots. Originally constructed in the post war era and renovated in 1996 according to designs by architect Thomas Scarin, this guest quarters includes a full bathroom and kitchen as well as a small, private bedroom. Serving as the property's lower entertaining space, the cottage opens to an over-sized, covered deck, elongated black, pebble-tec lap pool with adjoining spa & water feature. An entertainer's dream, the property has several outdoor decks, patios, and meditation areas nestled in the carefully tended landscaping. The freshly renovated enclosed garage is just the beginning of an ample parking system that includes two additional covered spaces, and a minimum of 10 more spaces without stacking. With the help of a valet, up to 24 cars can be parked in this enclosed property accessible only through an intercom connected security gate and up the private driveway to the private road.
