This Spanish-style, 1929 4 bedroom/3 bath hilltop residence captures the magnificent architectural features of a by-gone era.  There is a two-car detached garage with an upper deck that beckons visitors to linger and take in the city view. This 2,650 SF home (per old appraisal) is on a 7,370 sf lot (per assessor). The frontage on two streets provides the property with expansive views of the LA Basin and surrounding mountains with possibilities for expansion. 

The step-down living room has a gas fireplace and hand-carved beam ceiling that opens onto a private, covered  veranda. An arched doorway from the formal dining room provides access to a solarium and gated patio.  The first level also has two bedrooms (with views), two bathrooms, kitchen, breakfast room with bay window, and  laundry room.  Off the laundry room is another gated porch entry, with direct access to the 2nd street and numerous citrus and bountiful fruit trees such as, avocado, grapefruit, persimmon, loquat, and Chinese dates.

The staircase to the 2nd floor has a decorative wrought iron railing that also serves to showcase the beauty of the two, original stained-glass windows, on entry level and landing. Immediately upon accessing the 2nd floor, the view east towards Kellogg Hill and San Jacinto Mountains, is framed by two, large arched windows. A shared bathroom is opposite the viewing lounge. 

Bedrooms are located on opposite ends of the viewing lounge and offer their own views. The bedroom with a connecting art studio/retreat has easterly views. The extensive windows in the art studio/retreat provides a similar easterly view but also additional southwesterly views towards Long Beach.

The picture window in the 4th bedroom provides unobstructed views of Mt. Wilson, San Gabriel Mountains, and city lights in the surrounding LA Basin. The westerly view of the horizon, towards the distant Hollywood Sign, gives the opportunity for stunning evening sunsets.
