1105 Olancha Dr, Mt. Washington

Views, views, views! Perched atop the hills of Mt. Washington, this exceptional mid-century home captures the authentic character and timeless appeal of the 1950s while offering sweeping 180-degree city and mountain views.

Set on a flat 6,823-square-foot corner lot, the property features 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and 1,812 square feet of living space, plus a permitted approximately 200 Sq Ft studio with a ¾ bath—providing incredible flexibility for a home office, gym, creative space, guest quarters, or potential ADU.
Step inside and experience the quintessential mid-century aesthetic. The open, airy living and dining area is framed by expansive wall-to-wall sliding glass doors that showcase spectacular views of Griffith Observatory and Mt. Hollywood, the Verdugo Mountains, and the cities of Glendale and Eagle Rock. A striking Hawaiian lava-rock fireplace with floating hearth serves as the centerpiece, complemented by custom built-ins, a removable loveseat sofa, and a cleverly concealed film projection screen.
The vintage kitchen is both charming and functional, offering abundant storage and counter space, a built-in desk, and a peninsula with seating for casual dining. Period details—including a built-in paper towel/tissue rack and wall-mounted can and bottle opener—add to the home's authentic mid-century personality.

A spacious multipurpose room provides generous built-in storage and endless possibilities for relaxing, working from home, entertaining, or creating a space tailored to your lifestyle. Down the hallway are two well-sized bedrooms and a large full bathroom featuring a built-in vanity, floating sinks and cabinetry, separate shower and tub, and a picture window framing views toward the San Gabriel Mountains and Occidental College in the distance.

Just beyond the main home, the separate studio offers even more versatility. With a ¾ bath and its own mini-split A/C system, it is an ideal retreat, office, gym, or creative studio, with potential for future ADU use subject to applicable requirements. Additional features include central HVAC, partial updated electrical, full copper plumbing, and a detached two-car garage with ample storage.
Ideally situated at the top of Mt. Washington on a corner lot, the property enjoys unobstructed views to the north, east, and west, while being conveniently close to local shops, restaurants, and access to the 2 Freeway. A rare blend of authentic mid-century design, expansive views, usable land, and flexible living spaces, this one-of-a-kind property is truly a piece of timeless Los Angeles history.
