Nestled in the desirable South San Rafael Hills neighborhood, this spectacular 1956 Mid-Century modern home is perched on its own private knoll. With three bedrooms and two bathrooms, this beauty offers 1,855 square feet of living space on a 25,014 square foot lot, and tastefully updated for the finest indoor and outdoor SoCal living. Enjoy breathtaking views of the San Gabriel Mountains and the DTLA skyline from both the front and back of the home. Upon entering, you'll be greeted by bamboo floors and recessed lighting. The open-concept kitchen, living room, and dining room feature oversized windows that frame stunning vistas of the surrounding hillsides. The living room's modern aesthetic is completed by a smooth concrete-finished fireplace. The kitchen is a chef's dream, boasting Bosch appliances, quartz countertops and backsplash, 5-burner cooktop, wine refrigerator, and a built-in Miele espresso maker.
