About this home

Perched in the hills of Mount Washington, this fully reimagined 3-bedroom, 3-bath residence by Gibson House blends quiet architectural restraint with the warmth and rhythm of Northeast Los Angeles living. Spanning approximately 2,400 square feet on a 7,000+ square foot lot, the home unfolds through a series of soft-textured interiors, natural materials, and light-filled spaces designed to feel both elevated and grounded. Limewash plaster walls, white oak plank floors, intricate crown moulding, custom solid oak doors, imported vintage lighting, and sculptural materials create a calm, understated atmosphere throughout. Nearly every surface, fixture, and built-in element was custom designed or fabricated specifically for the home. Organic woods, chrome detailing, mirrored accents, and extensive built-in cabinetry bring warmth and cohesion while offering an extraordinary amount of storage in virtually every room. The kitchen centers around a faceted mirrored island built on site as a true sculptural focal point, paired with custom cabinetry, leathered black stone surfaces, an integrated Fisher & Paykel refrigerator, Bosch appliances, and carefully curated hardware from Kingston Brass and Signature Hardware. Marble tile entry floors, terrazzo stone surfaces, and a custom Breccia Capraia marble sink reinforce the home’s rich material palette. The primary suite offers a rare sense of retreat with a massive custom walk-in closet, spa-like ensuite bath, private balcony, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow. French doors open to a newly built deck off the kitchen, while oversized openings throughout the home pull in light, air, and unobstructed hillside views. Built serenely into the hillside with no immediate neighbors to the left or right, the property feels remarkably private and quiet despite being moments from the city. Positioned just above Highland Park and only minutes from the energy of Figueroa, the home offers immediate access to some of the Eastside’s most beloved destinations including Highly Likely, Checker Hall, Cookbook, neighborhood wine bars, cafes, and restaurants. The balance between calm hillside living and walkable urban energy is exceptionally rare. Complete with an attached two-car garage, separate laundry room, and custom storage integrated throughout, this is a rare opportunity to own a truly bespoke architectural home in one of Los Angeles’ most enduring creative enclaves.
