You used to see way more of these absolutely stunning mid-century modern homes pop up on the market in Mt. Washington a few years ago. Now they seem to be extraordinarily rare. This two bed, two bath beauty sits on 7,000 square feet in the idyllic Mt. Washington hillside, near the Southwest Museum, the Self-Realization Fellowship, and Mt. Washington Elementary School.
Even when some of these homes would make their debut on The MLS you would often find the very thing that made them so great in the first place – the very mid-centuryness of them – sort of scrubbed down and painted over. Not so with 407 Mavis Drive. This home is decidedly not a time-capsule because the 1961 house was built to be timeless.
I mean, step inside to your own gated courtyard cactus garden. Notice the colossal wood beams that help to draw you and your guests to the entrance of the home.
And what an entrance!
Inside you will find an open layout floorplan, a glorious wood burning fireplace, blue laminate flooring, and nearly a wall of sliders to your large private patio.
The vintage kitchen captures and continues the wood tones from the exterior of the home.
The home offer two spacious bedrooms. The master boasts outdoor access to the deck.
The first bath is simple yet stylis with white tiles, a pedestal sink and free-floating wood shelving above the bath to maximize storage space. There’s also a second similarly styled bath.
The second bedroom has rows of built-in bookshelves perfect for book lovers.
The large wood deck is covered and shaded is the perfect spot to relax or entertain throughout the year.
Also the DTLA views the deck offers are pretty great if I do say so myself.
The home also boasts a large backyard area that is quite lush already but has so much potential to become a truly magical getaway from city life.
407 Mavis Drive is also close to shops, restaurants, and night life along the Figueroa and York Boulevards in neighboring Highland Park. Not to mention the property is just a stone’s throw from the Metro Gold Line meaning you can leave your car parked in your two car garage, skip the traffic, and head downtown for work or play.
Let’s go see it!
