About this home

A rare opportunity! A hilltop hideaway transformed into the ultimate artist retreat. Part Swiss Family Robinson Tree House, part mid-century modern dream -- this is the NELA sanctuary you didn't know existed. Perched above Glassell Park with sweeping views, a generous lot, and a detached recording studio that's equal parts home office and creative escape. Open, light-filled interiors with soaring ceilings, abundant windows, and warm wood floors. The updated cook's kitchen is terrific for entertaining. The hillside funicular makes transporting groceries and other cargo a breeze. A separate laundry room that is pretty enough for guests. Outdoor spaces with so much to discover. Room for a vegetable garden, room to grow and play, and easy access to Eagle Rock, Highland Park, and all your favorite spots. Come see it -- you'll want to stay.
