Perched in the hills of Glassell Park, this mid-century traditional home offers a rare blend of sweeping panoramic views, expansive outdoor living, and versatile bonus spaces in one of Northeast LA's most vibrant creative enclaves. Step into the large, open living room, where sliding glass doors immediately draw your eye to an extraordinary backdrop and provide effortless access to the outdoors. During the day, gaze out at the rolling hills of Griffith Park and the iconic Observatory. On a clear day, your views stretch all the way to the skyline of Century City. As evening falls, step out onto the expansive deck to savor spectacular west-facing sunset vistas and the twinkling city lights below. The flexible layout connects both the living room and the generous primary bedroom directly to the deck, making it the perfect spot for your morning coffee or evening unwinding. Adjacent to the main living area, a bright bonus room/ enclosed porch currently serving as an inspiring dining room keeps the dramatic view center stage and also features a wood-burning fireplace. Custom Taylor Brothers casement windows frame the rolling hillside view like a piece of nature's own artwork, a classic MCM feature essential to California living. Unlike many hillside properties, this home boasts a rare, flat backyard space designed for leisure, entertaining, and urban homesteading. The yard features an urban orchard with four mature fruit trees alongside three young saplings providing a year-round bounty of Meyer lemons, limes, navel and mandarin oranges, apricots, and two varieties of plums. Downstairs, a finished bonus basement with a 1/2 bath provides the ultimate flexible footprint ideal for a private home office, creative artist's studio, or a personal workout room. This lower level also features an adjacent laundry room and ample extra storage. Lovingly maintained and updated, the home also includes essential modern upgrades such as a roof installed in 2020, a tankless water heater, and a 200-amp electrical service panel. Enjoy easy access to local urban wilderness trails at Elyria Canyon Park and the beloved community pool at the Glassell Park Recreation Center. Just moments from the neighborhood's buzzing culinary scene, grab morning pastries at the legendary Bub and Grandma's Restaurant, meet neighbors over all-day breakfast at Lemon Poppy Kitchen, stop by the Little Barn Coffee House for an all vegan menu, or enjoy dinner at the critically acclaimed Dunsmoor. Bordering Eagle Rock, Mount Washington, and Atwater Village, this hillside retreat balances tranquility with immediate city access. Welcome home!
