Panoramic views surround this private hillside retreat located in the Mt Washington Hills! This home will welcome you from the city with its multiple lush gardens, inspired sense of indoor/outdoor living and spectacular skyline views. The main level of the home features a light and airy, open floor plan with the primary bedroom and 2 bathrooms. The living and dining area takes complete advantage of indoor/outdoor living with 2 full size sliding glass doors giving access to the deck, patio and view. The kitchen, with an abundance of pantry/cabinet space, spills its 'open' concept use across a huge prep island with bar seating adjacent to living and dining where western views across the garden below are especially breathtaking. An additional bathroom is off the kitchen which provides a 'dog' grooming shower station and access outside to the laundry room. The primary bedroom has dual closets and direct access to a private patio with secluded outdoor garden shower and soaking tub on an upper terrace with views across city to the north. The primary bathroom is beautifully appointed with a contemporary custom sink, designer cabinetry, bathtub with designer tile surround and separate walk-in shower. On the lower level with its own private entrance, you will find an additional living suite with a spacious living area/bedroom with wall to wall closets, a full bath and a dedicated office with built-in book case. Great for a rental! There is also a stand alone studio space over the garage perfect for painting, writing, reading or exercising. Outside, there are many special tiered outdoor spaces with mature succulents and landscaping. Pick a place for peaceful, quiet breezes or relax on the patio deck with a book or a glass of wine and watch the sunset as the city lights come on far below. Park in the single car garage at street level, pass through the secured gate and up the stairs to your very own getaway. This is LA living at its best!
