This is one good looking mid-century California ranch. Painted a deep and dark black, 4055 Collis Avenue is rare and unique home in Monterey Hills, a burgeoning neighborhood in Northeast Los Angeles, adjacent to South Pasadena and just a stone’s throw from Highland Park and an easy drive, or train ride, to Downtown.
Notice the sleek, mid-century lines on this beauty.
Built in 1951, this totally reimagined California Mid-Century Ranch-style home is magazine-worthy. I’m talking Dwell or maybe a feature on one of those Architectural Digest celebrity home tours we watch on Youtube (If you haven’t been watching the Arch Digest home tours, start here).
The 3 bedroom home sits prominently above the avenue on a large 11,000+ sf lot. I love front porches. They tell you a lot about a home before you even go inside.
So, back in the ’50s they were still building entry foyers. It’s time we bring back the entry foyer! This one boasts a skylight and a planter that emits a welcoming energy.
In fact, bringing the outdoors inside is a major theme that runs throughout the house. You’ll notice that with the large windows, tall ceilings, skylights, and lush foliage. And, yes, the home provides enough light that these plants could be the real deal.
Enter to your very own great room! A fabulous place to entertain. The great room has its own bar and a half bath. Your friends will adore this spot!
Start at the bar and move into this spacious and colorful formal dining room for dinner.
And, of course, there’s a large family room with a wonderful brick fireplace from the ’50s era. This room is lovely for lounging.
For a more informal affair, there’s a breakfast room with storage, great street views, a wood beamed ceiling, and Spanish tile floors.
The Spanish tiles continue into the updated kitchen. The kitchen has been stylishly remoded with custom cabinetry, floating shelving, and a nice subway tile backsplash.
Not to mention top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances ideal for even the most discerning home chef. The mix of materials and colors in the kitchen here is really appetizing. And I mean that in more ways than one.
The master suite includes is a relaxing spot to unwind.
The suite has its own fireplace and a roomy walk-in closet.
Plus outdoor access.
And a luxurious resort-style bath.
Again, it’s all magazine-worthy.
There are two additional bedrooms with hardwood floors.
Each of the bedrooms have nice, calming backyard views.
The two bedrooms share an equally stylish full bath.
The quintessential mid-century California Ranch vibe continues outside.
You basically have a huge polished concrete deck, partially covered, making it perfect for al fresco dinner parties all year round.
Up a flight of stairs you will find a grassy yard, but do pause to take a moment and admire the koi pond and lily pads. There is also a waterfall feature.
The detached garage would makes for the perfect artists studio, writers retreat, gym, or just a quiet spot to sneak away for a moment alone.
Or, you know, you could use it as a garage. It does have street access after all.
The backyard also has planting boxes so do feel free to bring your green thumb to the property.
The home exudes high mid-century California Ranch style but doesn’t sacrifice any of today’s modern luxuries and amenities.
4055 Collis Avenue offers an amazing opportunity to own a large, stylish mid-century modern gem in a great hillside neighborhood. Let’s go see it!
