Dreaming of your own personal Shangri-La? This charming Mount Washington bungalow was originally built as a hunting cabin, set gracefully along the hillside of Moon Canyon. Featuring a serene front courtyard and stunning views from the back deck, with a little work - picture wood floors, vaulted ceilings with skylights and/or clerestory windows - this could be a stunning and cozy retreat filled with warmth and surrounded by nature. There are some repairs and improvements needed (reflected in the price), but for the right buyer(s) looking for a special home in one of Northeast LA's most desirable neighborhoods, or an investor with the right vision, this is a tremendous opportunity with lots of upside.

Condition Rating
Poor
While the interior images showcase cosmetically updated kitchen and bathrooms with modern white shaker cabinets, stainless steel appliances, contemporary fixtures, recessed lighting, and LVP flooring, the property's overall condition is significantly impacted by its 1925 build year and the explicit listing description. The description states 'some repairs and improvements needed' and highlights 'Extensive Renovation Required' as a weakness, indicating that major systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) and potentially structural elements are likely original or very old and require substantial rehabilitation. The cosmetic updates alone do not elevate the property beyond a 'Poor' overall condition when considering the deep-seated needs of a nearly century-old home, as acknowledged by the listing agent.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Desirable Location: Located in Mount Washington, described as one of Northeast LA's most desirable neighborhoods, offering strong community appeal and potential for appreciation.
Scenic Views: The property boasts stunning views of the canyon and hills from the back deck, providing a serene and picturesque living environment.
Unique Character & Charm: Originally built as a hunting cabin in 1925, this charming bungalow offers distinctive character and a cozy retreat ambiance.
Significant Upside Potential: Presented as a 'tremendous opportunity with lots of upside' for both owner-occupants with vision and investors, indicating strong value-add potential.
Outdoor Living Spaces: Features a serene front courtyard and a back deck, enhancing outdoor enjoyment and connection to nature.
Cons
MLS Listing Discrepancy: Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 1728, other record living area = 836.
Extensive Renovation Required: The property explicitly states 'some repairs and improvements needed,' suggesting a substantial renovation project to achieve its full potential, which will incur significant cost and effort.
Age of Property: Built in 1925, the home is nearly a century old, likely requiring updates to major systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) and potentially having hidden issues common with older construction.
Hillside Property Challenges: Its hillside setting, while offering views, can present specific challenges related to foundation maintenance, drainage, and potentially limited accessibility or complex landscaping requirements.
