Property Description

Conceived as the personal residence of architect Edmund McCormick, this extraordinary Santa Fe-inspired home is perched on a highpoint in Mt Washington at the edge of Elyria Canyon Park. Elevated above the city, capturing sweeping panoramic views that stretch across the mountains, canyons, and glittering city skyline from every room, terrace, and vantage point. Soaring vaulted ceilings with hand-hewn Vigas beams, rounded plaster walls, custom built-in library shelving and a striking Kiva fireplace are just some of the well-preserved pueblo revival architectural details. Original Saltillo tile floors extend throughout the home and to the outdoor terraces. The home has been beautifully maintained, keeping McCormick's original Southwestern vision. A gated, drought-tolerant garden in the backyard provides even more flat outdoor space. Other recent improvements include new windows and patio doors, refreshed exterior stucco, interior paint, whole-house water filtration, updated bathrooms, roof replacement, solar installation, EV charging capability and much more. Private, peaceful and inspiring, yet also ideal for entertaining. The living spaces and primary suite occupy the upper level with uninterrupted views providing a dramatic backdrop to every gathering. The rooms open out to two generous terraces creating an exceptional indoor-outdoor experience all on a single level. Below at entry level sit two bedrooms and a full bathroom, while the lower level features a versatile den ideally suited as a media room, music studio or office. The den opens to an oversized, covered deck complete with built-in hot tub and more incredible views. A substantial four-car garage offers the flexibility of a gym space, workshop, music studio or storage. This property includes the adjacent 7,898 square-foot vacant parcel (APN5464-030036), for a total of 15,648 square feet across both lots. Whether envisioned as the site of a future guesthouse, ADU, outdoor entertaining pavilion, or preserved as a private space, the additional parcel presents a compelling opportunity seldom found in this hillside enclave. This home feels worlds removed while remaining moments from the vibrant cultural energy of Northeast Los Angeles. Nearby favorites include Barra Santos, Golden Poppy Market, For the Win, Dunsmoor, Bub & Grandma's, Highly Likely, Capri Club, Hippo, Lemon Poppy Kitchen, The Grant, Block Party, Habitat Coffee, Loquat Coffee and Verdugo Bar. Private and architecturally significant, this is a rare opportunity to own a landmark residence with extraordinary views.
