Welcome to 948 Elyria Drive, a rare 1906 Craftsman with a rich Hollywood legacy. Once home to John Howard Lawson, one of the original ten members of the Hollywood ten and the co-founder and first president of the Screen Writers Guild, this residence blends historic charm with modern comfort. Set on a coveted cul-de-sac in Mt. Washington, the 2,362 sq ft home is surrounded by the serene 35-acre Elyria Canyon Park, offering panoramic views, lush hiking trails, and abundant wildlife right outside your door. The location also places you within walking distance of the highly regarded Mt. Washington Elementary School. Inside, the home offers timeless character along with thoughtful updates, including solar power for low-cost electricity and an EV charger. Rent also includes the landlord's longtime housekeeper, who comes twice a month. The property can be offered furnished or unfurnished, making it a flexible retreat for those seeking privacy, nature, and history in one of Los Angeles's most desirable neighborhoods.
