1143 Montecito Drive

Wake up to breathtaking, panoramic views of the northern San Gabriel Mountains — from the Mt. Wilson Observatory to Griffith Park! Perched atop a gentle hill in Montecito Heights, this original Mid-Century Modern home offers a rare combination of inspiring architecture, expansive flat outdoor space, and tranquil natural surroundings — all adjoining vibrant Highland Park, Pasadena, and downtown LA. Minutes from Dodger Stadium and the Southwest Museum, and just a stone’s throw from the Audubon Center at Debs Park and Heritage Square, this location is absolutely perfect. Spanning just under 2,000 sq. ft., this single-level, unaltered Mid-Century Modern 3-bedroom, 2-bath home features classic hardwood floors and is filled with natural light, showcasing picture-perfect vistas through large windows. The welcoming front lawn, with lush hedges and a thoughtful garden layout, creates a gracious retreat from the city. Step inside to a dramatic sunken living room with exposed beam ceilings, an oversized dining room, and sliding doors that lead to mesmerizing views. The updated kitchen features beautiful quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a charming bay window overlooking the front garden. A generous family room with peg-and-groove wood floors, a cozy fireplace, and extensive closet storage provides flexible options for a luxurious primary suite, media room, creative studio, or office. The private bedroom wing includes three well-appointed bedrooms, each offering serene views. Thoughtfully separated from the main living areas, this wing offers ideal privacy and personal space. A separate laundry room offers potential for future customization. With five distinct areas for outdoor relaxation — the front garden, backyard, fire pit lounge, grassy side yard, and tranquil rose garden — all set on the rare luxury of flat land in hilly terrain, you’ll always have a space to meet your needs. A newly poured, finished garage with built-in storage, parking for four vehicles, and ample street parking accommodates an army of guests. A unique underground sauna with a full bathroom awaits — ready to tell its story. This is a timeless blend of comfort, inspiration, and iconic California design. Come... experience the magic called Montecito Heights and embark on your next journey — making this your new home!
