Property Description

Tucked into the eclectic hills of Mt. Washington sits a home with a rich creative soul. Once the last residence of renowned artist Ynez Johnston, this inspiring retreat embodies the essence of California hillside living—nature, tranquility, sweeping views, and a welcoming sense of community. Set on three lots within two parcels totaling 14,471 sq. ft., it offers not only a unique living experience but also room to expand, create, and make it your own. Designed to spark imagination, the day begins in the bedroom with panoramic canyon views, followed by breakfast in a sunny kitchen where the scenery is always within sight. Continue your day in one of the home’s versatile spaces—perfect for a studio or workshop—where creativity flows as easily as the hillside breeze. With an estimated 1,800 sq. ft. of living space, this three-bedroom, two-bath home sits on a generous double parcel—a rare canvas for your vision. Create a family compound, add an ADU, expand into a grander single-family home, or simply enjoy the grounds already adorned with mature trees, fruit trees, bougainvillea, and succulents while you design your own hillside paradise. Just minutes from the vibrant shops, dining, and entertainment of Eagle Rock, Highland Park, and Downtown, and with quick access to the 110, 2, and 134 freeways, you’re close to everything—yet feel a world away from it all.
