About this property

A stunningly preserved Mid Century nestled in the trees at the top of Mount Washington. This post-and-beam home embodies the ideals of the era: structural clarity, connection to nature, and a belief that good design should be simple, rational, and expressed in its materials. Constructed in 1961 by Sam Kiyotoki AIA, with only two prior owners, this property is replete with classical mid century modern architecture that defined the LA landscape in the fifties and sixties. Kiyotoki was a graduate of USC Architecture School at a time when the school was the preeminent generator of modern California design, and his impressive career spanned projects across Japan, Morocco, Hawaii, and California; including Mariners Village in Marina del Rey and private residences in Crestwood Hills. Discreetly situated and set atop a gently sloping double lot of over 10,600sf, the home's floor plan is comfortable and functional with 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms plus a direct entry garage. With many elements original to the build still intact, this home is a testament to the care that has been taken to preserve the home. The main level offers wonderful circulation and flow, with ribbons of windows framing expansive canyon views toward the San Gabriel mountain range. The living room with gas burning fireplace features original louvered window and Louis Poulsen pendant light below vaulted wood beam ceilings. The addition of skylights bring in wonderful natural light and tree top views of the property's striking California coastal live oak. Original millwork and cabinetry provide smart storage and create soft division between the dining area and kitchen. Laundry area, powder bathroom and access to a small balcony leading to the courtyard complete this level. Down the terracotta tiled foyer are 3 family bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The primary suite offers original built-ins, cork accent wall, floor to ceiling windows, and unique soaking tub and shower with original glazed ceramic tiles. The middle bedroom features a desk area with original millwork, decorative lighting, and storage, plus an additional guest bedroom, full hall bath, linen cabinets and closets. The large courtyard is set within a hedged and walled garden, creating a wonderfully private place to unwind and enjoy a peaceful morning or evening with family and friends. An additional dining area and multiple seating terraces below the shady live oak tree allow for even more vantages to take in the canyon and mountain views. An exceptionally rare opportunity in one of the best locations in Mount Washington. Ideally located within one block to Mt Washington Elementary School and walking distance to Sea View Trail, Self Realization Fellowship and the hiking trails of Moon and Elyria Canyons.
