1031 Olancha Drive

Set into the hills of Mt. Washington, this quintessential mid-century has the quiet confidence of good architectural clean lines, thoughtful proportions, and an effortless relationship with its surroundings. Floor-to-ceiling walls of glass draw the spacious backyard into the living spaces, filling the interiors with shifting natural light and long views across the mountains. In the living room, a striking fireplace serves as both a sculptural centerpiece and a gathering place, bringing warmth and character to the home. With direct access to the outdoor patio, it is a natural extension of the living space and an ideal setting for sunset dinners with friends and family. Beyond, a lush lawn offers something increasingly rare in the hills: a generous stretch of flat, private outdoor space with room to play, gather, garden, or simply to relax. Two spacious bedrooms and a freshly remodeled, spa-like bathroom complete the home. The setting strikes that elusive balance of being close to the energy of Highland Park, Glassell Park, and Downtown, yet tucked into the quiet of the hills, surrounded by greenery and panoramic views. Located within the boundaries of award-winning Mt. Washington Elementary, this is a home where architecture, landscape, and location come together with remarkable ease.
