Evoking the spirit of the legendary "land of castles," CASTILLE, built in 1992 by David Hidalgo AIA, is a distinctive Mediterranean take on Postmodernism, found high in the hills of Mount Washington, overlooking a vast expanse of breathtaking land, sky, and horizon. On the exterior, this tower-residence is cloaked in freshly painted alabaster white stucco and crowned with clay mission tile roof. While on the interior, it is the embodiment of Postmodern architecture with its simple geometric forms: triangular roof, circular portal windows, squares within a square, and even an oculus, in the guise of a dramatic rotunda tray skylight. Truly elevated in every sense of the word, this 3 bed + 3.5 bath split-level home has been graced with an abundance of natural light, cool ocean breezes, sweeping panoramic vistas, and timeless structural details like soaring twin cathedral ceilings, glass blocks, and a regal turret. Masterfully restored & fully renovated throughout, this latest project from LA based Architectural Designer, Casa For You, offers a host of thoughtful & purposeful modern amenities. Enter through the front door into a formal foyer with a staircase connecting a voluminous Great Room on the top level; a guest room and attached 2-car garage on the ground level; and a primary suite and additional guest room on the lower level. On the main floor, find an open living + dining space, with large square-framed windows and view terrace, that gaze out into an endless sky of blue: a natural stage for the mesmerizing aerials of magnificent red-tailed hawks, swallows, ravens, and many a fine-feathered friend. The impeccable custom Chef's kitchen features marbled quartz counters, micro-cement plaster backsplash, European-style cabinetry & soft close drawers, LED strip lights, ample storage, bar seating, and a suite of all brand new stainless steel appliances from high-end brand, JennAir. For every bedroom, there is an en-suite bath, European-style closet, and access to an outdoor balcony with views into the canyon. The spacious primary suite encompasses a generous walk-in closet, with bespoke built-ins & LED strips, and a well-appointed bath, with soaking tub, separate walk-in shower, dual vanity, quartz counter, and original glass-blocked window. Upgrades include: new roof, new central HVAC, new tankless water heater, new electrical wiring & upgraded panel, new recessed lighting, and new luxury vinyl wide-plank flooring spanning the entire house. Here is a haven bestowing privacy, seclusion, and oneness with nature & hiking trails; and yet, just down the hill, you'll find Cypress Park all-stars like Barra Santos, Loquat Coffee, and Golden Poppy Market. The historical Los Angeles River Center & Gardens and Rio de Los Angeles State Park, with easy access to the LA River Bike Path, are also within reach. Make this home yours!

High-End Chef's Kitchen: The impeccable custom Chef's kitchen features marbled quartz counters, micro-cement plaster backsplash, European-style cabinetry, soft-close drawers, LED strip lights, ample storage, bar seating, and brand new JennAir stainless steel appliances.
Privacy, Seclusion & Nature Access: The property offers a haven of privacy and seclusion, with direct access to nature and hiking trails, appealing to buyers seeking tranquility and an active outdoor lifestyle.

Cons

Split-Level Layout: As a split-level home, the multi-story layout with various staircases may not appeal to all buyers, particularly those seeking single-level living or with mobility considerations.
Potential Overpricing: The current listing price of $1.595M is significantly higher than the estimated property value of $1.282M (an estimation ratio of -19%), suggesting it may be priced above current market expectations or recent comparable sales.
Limited Traditional Usable Yard Space: While situated on an 8,857 sqft lot with balconies and views, the description emphasizes 'views into the canyon' and 'oneness with nature,' implying much of the lot may be sloped hillside, offering less flat, traditional yard space for outdoor activities.
