Atop a serene hill in the coveted St. Frances Heights neighborhood, this extraordinary three-story Mediterranean masterpiece blends timeless Art Deco elegance with eco-conscious design. Envisioned and brought to life by a Feng Shui master in 1991, this one-of-a-kind residence offers over 3,200 square feet of harmonious living space, thoughtfully aligned with nature and energy efficiency. Step inside to discover an interior filled with warmth and light. The main level features beautiful oak flooring and a sun-drenched solarium that overlooks the south garden, anchored by a grand Jacaranda tree that bursts into violet bloom each spring. The kitchen is outfitted with striking midnight butterfly granite countertops, an island and endless storage. A stained-glass window graces the adjacent dining room, while the living room stuns with cathedral ceilings, a soaring 15-by-20-foot window wall, marble fireplace, and art deco niches for displaying your favorite pieces. From almost every room enjoy sweeping 180-degree vistas that span from the Hollywood Hills and Century City to Mount Washington and the tree-lined hills of Eagle Rock. The upper-level primary suite is a peaceful sanctuary. Enjoy starry skies and soft cloudscapes from bed through clerestory windows or curl up by the private marble fireplace. This suite also boasts white bamboo flooring, a walk-in closet with built-in laundry chute, a versatile side room perfect for a nursery, meditation space, or office, and an interior balcony overlooking the great room below. Downstairs, a spacious 600 sq ft studio with oak floors offers an ideal guest suite, creative space, or home office. An additional bonus suite with separate entrance is perfect for extended family, private office quarters, or future rental potential. A built-in vacuum system, central air and heat, and solar panels with a Level 2 EV charger ensure comfort and sustainability throughout. Outdoors, the magic continues. Set on over 9,600 square feet, the lush, multi-tiered gardens are a horticultural dream. Fruit trees- lemon, orange, fig, pear, avocado, and more thrive among rose and cactus gardens, shaded by California pepper and pine. A tranquil pond and cascading waterfall flow beside a storybook gazebo, ideal for sunset moments or morning meditations accompanied by birdsong from the nearby hillside. Raised garden beds and a greenhouse invite you to grow your own produce, enhancing the home's self-sustaining ethos. With five bedrooms, four bathrooms, and panoramic views from nearly every room, this soulful retreat is as functional as it is breathtaking. A private driveway, two-car garage, and potential second dwelling unit with its own street access make this property an exceptional opportunity for both living and investment. Perfectly located near Highland Park, Eagle Rock, Pasadena, Glendale, Burbank, and just moments from LA's cultural core- this is more than a home. It's a hillside haven, a sustainable sanctuary, and an artistic vision brought to life.
