Prime Mt. Angelus Hilltop Home
A Storybook Retreat in Mt. Angelus
Nestled atop Mt. Angelus in one of Highland Park's most sought-after locations, this exceptional street-to-street home sits along one of Los Angeles' historic walks. Blending artistic character with architectural heritage, it offers a rare street-level entry on the main floor and convenient access to a two-car garage from below, an uncommon combination that provides both ease and privacy on the hillside. Built in 1925, the residence embodies the romantic soul of early Southern California design - arched ceilings, rich wood floors, and hand-crafted details - beautifully balanced by more modern updates that make everyday living effortless. This is a home where historic preservation meets thoughtful innovation, resulting in something truly enchanting. Step through the front door and be greeted by sweeping views of the San Gabriel Mountains, the Mt. Wilson Observatory, spectacular Rose Bowl fireworks, and on crystal-clear days, the majestic Mt. Baldy. The barrel-vaulted formal living room sets a dramatic yet inviting tone, filled with natural light and endless sky. Every room unfolds with purpose - a dining room with a tree house-inspired feel, a chef's kitchen, and a sitting room connect seamlessly to the garden terrace, inviting gatherings that flow from indoors to outdoors. For those who love to cook and entertain, the kitchen is ideal, featuring a large center island with a cooktop, double ovens, a walk-in pantry, and abundant storage. Whether you're hosting a dinner party under candlelight, enjoying a barbecue, or savoring a quiet evening, this home adapts to every mood and moment. Upstairs, two spacious secondary bedrooms provide versatility for guests, work, or creative pursuits. The lower level unfolds as an expansive private sanctuary, thoughtfully transformed into a primary suite that could easily serve as an ADU or "in-law" apartment offering potential rental income. With its own interior and exterior entrances, dual walk-in closets (one with a private half bath), and a spa-like en-suite bath with an infinity soaking tub, it offers both versatility and indulgent comfort - framed by serene views that invite pure relaxation. Thoughtful updates enhance peace of mind, including a gated entry, cellular alarm system, a 16-channel camera network, newer electrical wiring, an electric car charging port, tankless water heater, seismic retrofitting, and a newer air conditioning system. This hillside enclave offers unrivaled access to Figueroa & York, the Metro Line, numerous dining hotspots, happening bars, great coffee hangs, shopping, and artistic explorations that continually redefine Highland Park as the place to live. Other nearby amenities include Arroyo Dog Park, the scenic hiking trails in Ernest Debs Park, Dodger Stadium, and other iconic Southern California attractions. If it's possible to live car-free in L.A., this is the place to do it - your perfect sweet spot!

With 23 years in real estate and over 400 hundred transactions closed, I am a high-energy, results-driven, and experienced real estate professional focused on providing you with the finest service available to help you reach your real estate goals.
Our homes represent a place of safe haven to each of us; a place where we nurture and store the memories that matter most. I understand that a home holds and reflects the value of your life’s investment. Very early on, I learned that through hard work I would be rewarded and that the biggest reward was the satisfaction of someone else after my services were provided. With this being ingrained in my work ethic, I have been able to incorporate my experiences of my past, to better assist me in demonstrating the caring and expertise it takes to get the job done for my clients. Today, my attention to detail, honesty, and love for what I do, have become the focus of how I can best serve you.
I love Los Angeles! As a Southern California native, I have a deep knowledge of this city and its vibrant, historic and diverse communities. My first-hand knowledge of all the various neighborhoods including Mt. Washington, Silver Lake, Los Feliz, Highland Park, Eagle Rock, Echo Park, Downtown L.A., Hollywood, West Hollywood, and Palm Springs allows me to guide clients with the utmost confidence.
I am devoted to dog rescue and volunteer for local organizations. In my free time, I love hanging out with my dogs, getting thrown around in the ocean, water skiing, roller coasters, and traveling.
I would love the opportunity to meet you!
