496 CRANE BOULEVARD, LOS ANGELES CA 90065

PRICE DROP! Now priced below May 2025 appraisal! Mount Washington Retreat with Stunning Views & Expansion or ADU Potential! Perched on a ridge in Mount Washington’s serene hills, where city noise fades into sweeping vistas, this 1,300 sqft (SF), 2-bed, 2-bath haven redefines living. Enter via the garage, where new epoxy floor sets a stylish tone. Built on a steep downslope this retreat offers unmatched privacy and jaw-dropping views of the San Gabriel Valley and its majestic mountains. Step into an open, light-filled layout with sliding glass doors flanking a cozy fireplace, opening to a 30-foot east-facing balcony, perfect for morning sunrises with coffee or evening cocktails. The newly remodeled kitchen dazzles with new stainless-steel appliances, fresh cabinetry, and a chic island for cooking and gatherings. Choose the ground-floor bedroom with attached bath or the 600+ SF primary bedroom loft with bathroom, which is spacious enough to double as an office and/or den. Natural light floods every corner, enhancing the home’s modern vibe. OPPORTUNITY: ideal for an investor, flipper, or home buyer ready to bring their vision to life and build equity. Over 800 sqft of unfinished lower level space, already enclosed by the exterior walls. Outside staircase accesses this level, which can be used as a studio, workout room, or office today. Unfinished and not included in the 1,300 SF. Truly a blank slate for a creative buyer! Architect-designed floor plans and 3D renderings showcase 2 of many possible visions: (1) an ADU with kitchen and living room for rental income. (2) more than a 60% expansion to 2,100 SF, adding 2 bedrooms, a bathroom, office, or bonus room, creating a 4-bedroom, 3-bath home. A professional appraiser with 35 years of experience just appraised this property at $1.525 million, which doesn't even account for the unfinished 800+ SF lower level’s untapped potential. Buyer to verify square footage and feasibility of ADU or expansion. Mount Washington’s lush hills and Moon Canyon trails create a peaceful escape for hikes or strolls. Highland Park’s vibrant dining and shops are minutes away, with Downtown LA nearby. Mount Washington Elementary is just 1 mile away. This rare gem blends modern upgrades, including owned solar panels and tankless water heater, soul-stirring views, plus a blank canvas for expanding your dream home or building an ADU in the unfinished lower level for rental income. LOVE WHERE YOU LIVE!
