About this residence

Perched on a private hillside in sought-after Montecito Heights, this updated Spanish-style retreat pairs dramatic indoor/outdoor living with sweeping Northeast LA views. A panoramic folding glass wall opens the main living and dining spaces to an expansive Trex deck and hot tub, creating a seamless connection to the outdoors, while oversized windows flood the home with natural light and skyline views, Mt. Washington, Dodger Stadium lights, Elysian Valley and Hollywood beyond.The interior blends original character with thoughtful upgrades, including renovated bathrooms, central AC, newer windows (2018), a Sub-Zero refrigerator, and a newer roof (2019). A 10kW solar system with 30kW battery backup (2023) adds long-term efficiency and resilience, alongside an EV charger and detached garage.Situated on an oversized double lot, the property also includes fully RTI-approved plans for a detached 2-bedroom, 1-bath ADU with an additional 2-car garage. With permitting and design already completed, the next owner has the rare opportunity to immediately build a guest house, income-producing rental, or multigenerational compound.Surrounded by mature avocado, lemon, and lime trees, the property feels tucked away and serene while remaining minutes from Downtown LA, Debs Regional Park trails, and the restaurants, cafes, and nightlife of nearby Highland Park. Your adventures in Los Angeles await!
