This architectural gem is one of three modernist homes designed and built in the early 1990s in Mount Washington by architectural designer James Allen Walter, in collaboration with engineer John Ott. The property captures the designer's bold approach to California modernism. Celebrated for his innovative houses throughout Northeast Los Angeles, Walter was featured in *Domus* magazine and designed distinctive homes across California. His signature style features strong, clean horizontal lines that convey calm, openness, and a seamless connection to the rolling hillside. Located on a quiet street in one of Los Angeles's most peaceful neighborhoods, the house offers a true sense of retreat. The hillside setting and warm, tight-knit community create a serene daily rhythm rarely found so close to the city. Sited on a large 4,001 sq ft lot, assessor records show it as a 2-bedroom, 3-bathroom dwelling of 1,904 sq ft, while it shows as a spacious 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom home with 2,603 sq ft of living space. Inside, soaring ceilings and a cozy fireplace add volume and warmth, while panoramic vistas of the city and mountains unfold from multiple vantage points. The subtle movement of the 5 Freeway below adds a gentle dynamism to the ever-changing scenery and dramatic sunsets. Generous open-plan living areas make this an inspiring sanctuary for artists, musicians, and anyone seeking a calm yet creatively stimulating environment. The property presents a great opportunity to restore and reimagine the residence, honoring James Allen Walter's modernist legacy while tailoring it to your own vision. Situated just minutes from restaurants, shops, and cafes along Cypress and Eagle Rock Boulevards, it offers convenient access to everything the city has to offer. A piece of Northeast Los Angeles design, rich in charm, serenity, and untapped potential, ready for its next inspired chapter. Private showings only.
