The hills of Mount Washington are home to some of Los Angeles’s most breathtaking properties, and 1426 Killarney Avenue is no exception. Designed by David Hidalgo AIA in 1992, this stunning split-level residence seamlessly combines Mediterranean architecture with postmodern flare. Perched high above the city, it presents panoramic views that redefine hillside living.
Nicknamed “CASTILLE” for its castle-inspired charm, the three-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom home showcases an alabaster stucco facade and a clay mission tile roof. A palm-tree-lined entrance welcomes you into the property, setting the tone for the airy, light-filled interiors that await. Geometric lines and a light color palette lend the home its signature postmodern aesthetic, while expansive windows frame stunning vistas and twin cathedral ceilings enhance the grandeur.
Los Angeles-based architectural designer Casa For You has masterfully restored and renovated the property, elevating it with contemporary and high-end finishes. The chef’s kitchen is a showpiece, featuring marbled quartz countertops, a micro-cement plaster backsplash, sleek European-style cabinetry, and soft-close drawers. A full suite of JennAir stainless steel appliances completes this sophisticated space, while the adjacent dining area is perfect for enjoying meals with a view.
The expansive primary suite is a crown jewel of CASTILLE. This serene retreat provides access to a balcony with canyon views, ample seating space, and a walk-in closet with bespoke built-ins enhanced by LED lighting. The ensuite bathroom includes a soaking tub, a walk-in shower, and dual vanities with quartz counters, and an original glass-block window. Each of the home’s bedrooms includes an ensuite bathroom and balcony access, ensuring comfort, privacy, and views for all.
Beyond its striking interiors, 1426 Killarney Avenue comes with numerous thoughtful upgrades. A new roof, HVAC system, tankless water heaters, and luxury vinyl wide-plank flooring are just a few of the modern enhancements that make this home both beautiful and functional. The property also includes a two-car garage, ideal for additional storage or workshop space.
Location is another key element of this home’s allure. Mount Washington is one of Los Angeles’s most sought-after neighborhoods, known for its scenery, historic charm, and proximity to the city’s best offerings. From hiking trails and green spaces to vibrant shops and eateries in Cypress Park, everything is within easy reach. Iconic spots such as Dodger Stadium and Echo Park are just minutes away.
Listed for $1,789,000, 1426 Killarney Avenue presents a premier opportunity for a discerning buyer to own an idyllic Mount Washington home. For more information, contact Shakira del Fresno or Xiaolin Li with Compass.
