Perched atop a hillside parcel in Highland Park spanning nearly half an acre, this secluded property is distinguished by a signature geodesic dome house. Channel Buckminster Fuller as a 'passenger of Spaceship Earth' in this marvel of architecture for which he is best known. On the market for the first time in 42 years, this 3 bedroom, 2 bath home is an eclectic sanctuary from city life while still allowing for easy access to everything in this dream Northeast LA location. Entering a dome house offers an experience unlike any other - soaring ceilings and wide open spaces create a dynamic sphere for entertaining, with abundant natural light and private views. Thoughtfully reimagined in the Spring of 2025, interior updates and upgrades include new paint, flooring, lighting, countertops and fixtures. Open-concept living and dining rooms are sunny and exciting, with windows to the back yard, poised for myriad creative pursuits. The kitchen features just-installed butcher block countertops, including a cozy spot to enjoy your morning coffee. Enjoy dinners on the backyard deck where nature surrounds you. Upstairs, a generous second floor primary suite with spacious full bath provides a sanctuary, with two additional bedrooms, another full bath, ample storage and side by side laundry downstairs. A separate oversized garage accommodates 2 cars with workshop and storage space, plus a finished 382 SF bonus room above, offering use as an office, studio or exercise lounge. Fenced gardens feature drought-tolerant landscaping and mature trees, recently trimmed and shaped by an arborist. The driveway provides additional private, off-street parking for multiple cars. This ideal location is moments from Occidental College and the vibrant scene on York Blvd and Eagle Rock. Enjoy quick access to established neighborhood favorite restaurants (just 1/2 mile to the takeout window at Joy on York!), coffee shops (Cafe de Leche, Collage and Kumquat to name a few) and all of the best retail, yoga, and the beloved Bob Baker Marionette Theater. The surrounding neighborhood guarantees a unique and enriching living experience, while the property extends peaceful tranquility outside and in, with views from every room. What an opportunity to own an architectural gem in this special pocket of Los Angeles!
