It’s been ten days since we celebrated the new year and in those ten days I have seen a lot of homes and, so far, I can safely say 742 Quail Drive is my favorite home of 2020. Yes, it’s early and things may change, but, for now, no house has seemed so sleek, so effortlessly cool, and so appealing than this hillside mid-century modern two bedroom home in Mount Washington.
The two-story house is suspended over the hillside on stilts, which, I think, technically qualifies it as a mid-century post and beam.
The house has an open living and dining area with a freestanding fireplace, walls of windows, and a redwood deck with amazing mountainside views.
And I mean amazing, especially during this time of year when the hillside is lush and green and you can see the snow capped mountains in the distance.
Back inside notice the immaculate hardwood floors and the gorgeous wood beamed ceiling.
The kitchen has been renovated while maintaining its signature ’60s design aesthetic with multi-colored newer cabinetry.
A galley kitchen can be a major plus for some home cooks who need some time alone to prep and unwind after a long day at the office. The kitchen has stainless steel appliances including a Dacor Cooktop, a Bosch dishwasher, double oven, a Sub-Zero Refrigerator, and a charming Kitchen Bar.
The first floor includes a remodeled half bath.
The stone stairs lead to the lower second level.
The two downstairs bedrooms are near mirror images of each other.
The bedrooms both have ample closet space and share a second redwood deck.
They also share the full bathroom. The bath has been totally overhauled with vintage fixtures, white subway tiles, wood accents, and stone countertops. It maximizes its space. It’s the perfect bath, seemingly simple but carefully thought out and designed.
There’s also a laundry room, a car port, and plenty of storage space. The home is located just a short distance from Mt. Washington’s prized Self-Realization Fellowship Center, the perfect place to picnic, read a book, or meditate. There’s great hiking up here and all the awesome shops and restaurants on York and Figueroa Boulevards are nearby.
While the home was built in 1964, it’s these days – the 2020s – that are 742 Quail Drive’s glory days. It’s never looked fresher and more stylish than it does today.
