A Mediterranean-Moorish estate set on nearly an acre of verdant grounds in the lush Mount Washington neighborhood has been listed for $4,295,000 by Tracy Do, the No. 1 large team in Pasadena by closed transactions, affiliated with Coldwell Banker Realty. Originally built in 1921 and lovingly restored over the past three decades, this extraordinary retreat contains four separate parcels. Located at 540 Mount Washington Dr. in Los Angeles, the approximately 4,830 square feet of living space encompasses a single-family three-bedroom residence and a two-bedroom guesthouse.
“This majestic canyon sanctuary lies within the sought-after Mt. Washington Elementary boundary while just minutes from Pasadena, downtown Los Angeles, the Music Center and the vibrant Figueroa corridor,” said Do.
Tucked beyond the gates in lush Mount Washington, a winding drive leads to the property’s rare grounds, offering exceptional privacy and scale. Graceful arches, French doors, hand-painted mission beam ceilings and remarkable historic details define the grand interiors, where sunlight streams through stained glass and walls of windows. The upper-level library, with custom millwork and a decorative mantel, serves as a captivating focal point. With the option to open seamlessly to multiple gathering spaces, the kitchen features Viking appliances and Saltillo tile floors. Three bedrooms include a tranquil primary suite with a wood-beamed ceiling and soaking tub. A detached two-bedroom guesthouse provides flexible use as a multi-generational retreat, artist studio or income property. In addition, winding pathways meander through olive, citrus and guava trees, past fountains and terraces, leading to a grand brick patio with an outdoor hearth.
