This spectacular and authentic three bedroom mid-century modern home in Highland Park has had just two owners and has been left virtually untouched over the past 60 years. Not all mid-century time capsules are timeless, but 1925 Phillips Way is.
Surrounded by nature and expansive hillside views, this stylish is located in a fantastic Highland Park location, in the hills, but just a quick stroll to all the shops and restaurants on York Boulevard, plus a short, super quick drive to both Eagle Rock and Occidental College.
Step inside to find trapezoid angles, sharp lines, and many other period elements throughout.
The living room boasts an amazing cantilevered fireplace, original hardwood floors, clerestory windows, and unique 50s/60s modern lighting fixtures and fans.
Step down onto the open space kitchen and dining room.
The first thing you’re probably noticing is this absolutely a groovy wallpapered ceiling in the dining room.
The dining room has easy outdoor access via a pair of sliders to this great deck which has built-in seating and plenty of room to entertain.
Back inside, the kitchen has custom cabinetry, garden views, and a nice eat-in countertop for two. This kitchen is sure to be a popular hangout spot with you, your friends, and family.
The first of two bedrooms on the main floor is perfect for guests.
While the second bedroom is slightly roomier and features incredible views of the hillside.
I mean, imagine waking up each morning to these lush and green hillside views with all of 90042’s best houses dotting them.
These two bedrooms and the main level in general this nicely redone full size bath.
You will love the primary suite, which could also become an excellent guest quarters or potential Airbnb income property.
The suite is connected to the main level by interior stairs but also has its own separate, private entrance.
Not to mention a nice kitchenette.
And a large 3/4 bath, plus laundry.
The glorious backyard features a…slide. Yes, a slide that’s great for all ages, connecting the top tiered garden space with the lower half of the property.
Besides the slide – I don’t think I’ve seen anything like that in a listing, have you? – the grounds boast gardens, seating nooks, and a curated garden of lime, orange, pomegranate, and lemon trees, plus other fragrant native and drought tolerant plants.
There have been several updates throughout including in the garage with newer insulated walls and ceiling with LED lighting, permitted 240V, 60A sub-panel for electric car charging or workshop. There’s also additional basement space is large enough for an extra workshop or storage.
And did I mention the rose bushes and this raised tree house-like hangout space?
1925 Phillips Avenue is a romantic and original mid-century home in this wonderful and ever-growing zip code.
