Modern Architectural Retreat with Panoramic Mountain Views. Inspired architecture meets creative flexibility on one of Mount Washington's most desirable streets. Behind 75' of gated frontage, 4006 San Rafael Ave is a stunning post-modern residence offering dramatic scale and thoughtful design. Spanning 4,500 square feet with 4 bedrooms and 3.5 baths, plus a 510-square-foot detached creative studio with its own bath, the home blends form, function, and inspiration. The double-height living room serves as the centerpiece, showcasing soaring windows that frame sweeping mountain vistas, a decorative fireplace, and custom built-ins. An open-concept great room connects the dining area with a striking chef's kitchen featuring a curved seating bar, oversized island, designer lighting, and walk-in pantry - an ideal setting for entertaining and everyday living. Close by is the shaded terrace, overlooking snow-capped Mount Baldy and the San Gabriel Mountains. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a private sanctuary with its own balcony, walk-in closet, and a spa-like bath complete with soaking tub, glass-enclosed shower, and dual vanities. Just steps away, a flex space doubles as a nursery, office, or lounge. Two secondary bedrooms share a full bath in their own quiet wing. The lower level expands the living options with a cozy den for movie nights, an additional flex space perfect for a gym or playroom, a fourth bedroom, full bath, and generous storage. Outdoors, the terraced yard invites connection and creativity with areas for dining, play, and gardening, surrounded by mature fruit trees. The detached studio, currently used as a music space, enhances the home's artistic energy and versatility. A rare combination of architecture, comfort, and location just moments from Mount Washington Elementary (TK-6), and minutes to scenic hiking trails like Moon Canyon and Elyria Canyon, and neighborhood favorites along Figueroa and York Boulevards. Easy access to the 110 freeway keeps the rest of Los Angeles and Pasadena within reach. 4006 San Rafael Ave - a place to grow, create, and truly live.
