Panoramic views, lush terraced gardens, and an exceptional sense of space define this modern Mount Washington retreat. Spanning nearly 3,400 square feet, the home pairs expansive gathering spaces with beautifully private quarters, including a remarkable primary suite that feels like a residence of its own. The open main level flows from an extended living room overlooking the hillsides of Elysian Park to a kitchen and dining area immersed in greenery. Views of the Taylor Yard Bridge, vivid sunsets, and Dodger Stadium fireworks provide an ever-changing backdrop to life above the city. A broad expanse of retractable glass opens the dining area to an Ipe wood deck, creating an effortless connection between the interiors and garden. Beyond, a dining terrace and upper lounge unfold among mature trees and sculptural plantings, offering inviting settings for quiet time and large scale entertaining. After dark, pathway and landscape lighting illuminate the gardens with a soft glow for evenings under the stars. At nearly 1,000 square feet, the primary suite is a destination unto itself. Vaulted ceilings, a fireplace, and a private balcony lend a sense of warmth and openness, while a spacious living area is a perfect place for cozy movie nights with the city lights twinkling below. The generous bathroom features skylights, a tiled shower, and a soaking tub overlooking the garden, with an ample walk-in closet completing the suite. A separate lower wing offers three bedrooms and two bathrooms, along with a laundry room and built-in storage. Thoughtfully positioned for privacy and flexibility, these rooms accommodate family or guests with ease while allowing space for an office, creative studio, or home gym. A distinctive hillside home with room to gather, unwind, and enjoy the landscape, moments from Cypress Avenue favorites Golden Poppy Market, Loquat, and Barra Santos, with easy access to the surrounding Eastside neighborhoods.
