Mt. Angelus Dreamy Stunner


I love Mt Angelus. It's so cute and looks so cute on a map. This hidden hill is tucked away in Highland Park and has some beautiful homes with outstanding views. This new 1970s post and beam modern listing is no exception.

After winding up the road to your secluded hilltop 3 bedroom/2 bath location, pull into your sleek gated entry offering privacy and superb curb appeal. Take a sigh of relief as you leap onto your couch with your walls of fold and slide glass doors and Clerestory windows fully open delivering crisp cross breezes across your cheeks. Savor the smells of sweet spices as you gaze at your loved one who's preparing a tantalizing meal in your industrial kitchen equipped with a DCS range, Ceasarstone countertops and a custom pot rack. Dine al fresco on your large deck while the sunsets on the panoramic hills in the foreground and downtown LA in the background. Take an after dinner stroll in your whimsical, tropical garden escape. Maybe you'll even consider playing a little game of hide and seek since you're feeling a bit giddy from the vino. Perhaps a round of tag as you slide across your wood and slate floors and dodge each other throughout your seamless indoor/outdoor flowing living space true to the post and beam architectural style. Feel its time to wind down? Take a dip and splash around in your spa bathtub with tumbled travertine.

As you cuddle in your master suite with the slide and fold doors wide open, the glow of downtown creating just enough nightlight and the sounds of nature soothing you to sleep, you peer up at your finished birch ceilings and ponder your future hide and seek spots. Perhaps next time you'll hide in your Bali inspired backyard, maybe in the fire pit, dry creek beds, fountains or meditation areas. Just as your about to drift off into real estate dream heaven you realize....the perfect hiding spot is in the hidden, secret bonus room.

If all else fails you can give up the games and hop on the gold line which is a block away from your slice of heaven on the hillside.

Smokin' deal at $499,000.
