Description

At the top of Montecito Heights, this historic home soars above the city. Designed by notable architects Richard Kearney and John Lawrence Pugsley, it's one of just 23 remaining cliff homes still standing, offering two bedrooms and two bathrooms with sweeping views of the canyon below. The home is perched on steel cantilevers that provide dramatic views of the surrounding canyon. The home welcomes its inhabitants and guests with an enclosed courtyard, perfect for entertaining. As we journey into the home, we find a kitchen perfect for whipping up Sunday brunch. The kitchen has been renovated with beautiful quartz countertops and includes stainless steel appliances. Enjoy your favorite meal in the adjoining dining room as you take in the view. Grab a book and get cozy in front of the fireplace in the living room. A stroll down the hall brings you to the primary suite, which sits next to a fully renovated bathroom with a spa bathtub and shower. Your guests can enjoy the second bedroom, located next to a newly added, fully permitted bathroom. As the day winds down, enjoy a cup of tea and watch the sunset on your balcony, easily accessed from both the dining room and primary suite. The fully fenced, terraced backyard is the perfect spot for your furry friend to run around or plant your very own garden. The one car garage comes equipped with an EV charger. When it's time to venture out, you can enjoy Flat Top Park that is a short distance from the home. Located just minutes from Highland Park, Debs Park, and DTLA, this home offers privacy, architectural pedigree, and modern livability in one of LA's most historically rich hillside communities. Don't miss your opportunity to own a piece of Northeast Los Angeles history and make this beautiful sanctuary yours.
