Step into a world of timeless elegance and modern comfort with this beautifully restored century-old home, perched majestically atop the coveted Mt. Angelus area in Highland Park. This unique property, a hidden gem nestled along one of the city's celebrated historic walkways, presents an extraordinary opportunity to own a piece of history, having only had three owners since its inception nearly 100 years ago. Now on the market for the first time in almost three decades, this is a chance not to be missed! As you approach the property, you'll appreciate the convenience of street-to-street access, allowing for easy entry to the main level and access to the generously sized two-car garage on the lower level. Entering the home, you are greeted by the original character that defines this enchanting residence- elegant wood flooring, soaring vaulted ceilings, and large windows framing breathtaking views that stretch across the San Gabriel Mountains. The heart of the home is its stunning, fully modernized kitchen, a culinary haven that blends contemporary design with classic charm. Imagine hosting dinner parties in the formal dining room, or enjoying a casual meal in the delightful patio and garden area, perfect for al fresco dining amidst your botanical oasis. The spacious living room, with its expansive vistas, offers a front-row seat to the spectacular Rose Bowl fireworks, Mt. Wilson Observatory, and on crystal-clear days, the majestic Mt. Baldy. This home offers a thoughtfully designed layout, featuring two large bedrooms on the upper floor that provide serene retreats for relaxation. The entire lower floor has been transformed into a luxurious primary suite - a sanctuary of tranquility - complete with two walk-in closets (one with its own half bath), an opulent en-suite bath featuring an infinity tub, and lovely views that invite you to unwind in style. Modern conveniences abound with updated bathrooms, newer electrical wiring, an electric car charging port, a tankless water heater, seismic retrofitting, and a newer air conditioning system. For added peace of mind, the property is equipped with a state-of-the-art alarm and a comprehensive 16-camera security system. The expansive basement offers ample storage, ensuring that all your belongings have a place. Mt. Angelus is not just a home; it's a lifestyle. Enjoy the remarkable location that offers a short commute to downtown Los Angeles and Pasadena, with the vibrant neighborhoods of South Pasadena several blocks away. The nearby Metro station and an array of trendy restaurants, bars, and galleries along the Fig/York corridors make this area a hub of excitement and convenience. Eastsiders know the desirability of a Mt. Angelus address, and those from other parts of the city and the Westside should venture over to see what all the buzz is about.
