About This Home

As of February 2023

Nestled at the bottom of Echo Mountain near the entrance of Mount Wilson's hiking trail this Mid Century Modern Beauty has not been on the market in over 30 years. The property features 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms with 1,649 sq. ft of living space and sits on a 11,056 sq. ft lot. The living room has exposed wood beamed ceilings, a stone fireplace and a large sliding glass door with glass wall looking out into the rear yard. The kitchen has brick faux flooring with a breakfast bar which looks out from the dining area. All of the bedrooms are very spacious and have exposed wood beamed ceilings, mirrored closet doors and more. There is an enclosed patio with plenty of natural light which provides an indoor outdoor feeling. The rear yard is very spacious with mature trees, flowers and fruit trees. The backyard is great for entertaining or just relaxing on a nice sunny day. The property is original and needs a bit of cosmetic improvements to make it your own but overall it's got great bones for those Mid Century Modern Enthusiast.
