4 Bed / 3.5 Bath

With sweeping mountain and city views clear to the Griffith Observatory and beyond, this spacious, very private home with a large lot sits high atop the hills of Highland Park. This 4 bed 3.5 bath home with over 2,600 square feet of multi-leveled living and wraparound balconies is tucked away on a nearly 14,000 square foot lot. After passing through the private courtyard, a two-story high entryway leads you into an open floor plan. Welcoming you home is the cozy living room with French doors leading out to the first floor balcony, perfect for that morning crossword and coffee. On the first floor is a sweet breakfast retreat, a sleek granite counter top kitchen with newer appliances, den, powder room, and a bedroom with its own ensuite full bath. Up the sweeping staircase to the second floor, are three more bedrooms and two full baths. The ample, second-story primary suite offers a generous walk-in closet, a spa-like bathtub in the ensuite and a private balcony with grand views. The tiered backyard offers many levels of outdoor entertainment, dining, and lounging. Close to all the latest spots in Highland Park (Cafe Birdie, Otono, Belle's bagels, Barcade, the LodgeRoom, Triple Beam Pizza) and neighborhood institutions (El Huarache Azteca, Galco's Old World Grocery). Easy access downtown and to all the Northeast LA neighborhoods.
