3974 1/2 San Rafael Ave, Mount Washington. Fully updated guest house with laundry, EV parking, and views. Available now.

Mount Washington is one of those neighborhoods that still feels like a secret. Quiet, elevated, tucked above the city with tree-lined streets and real distance from the noise. You're close to Highland Park, Eagle Rock, and Glassell Park but the hill gives you separation that's hard to find anywhere else on the Eastside.

The unit is a fully renovated studio guest house on a large private property. It sits completely separate from the main house. You get your own entrance, your own space, and full access to the yard, particularly the areas adjacent to the unit and below. It's a large property with real outdoor room to use. Private and quiet in a way that genuinely earns those words.

Inside, the design is clean and considered. Chevron hardwood floors run throughout. The bedroom is on a raised platform with under-bed storage drawers built in, which is both a smart design move and genuinely useful. Mini split for heating and cooling. The kitchen runs the full length of one wall, white cabinetry, open oak shelving, matte black fixtures, and a compact setup that works well with a toaster oven or air fryer. No dishwasher or oven, so right for someone who cooks light or not at all.

The bathroom is sharp. Floor-to-ceiling cream tile, glass enclosed shower, clean vanity. Well done.

A private deck is currently being completed and will be ready before move-in. Views from the property are genuinely good.

In-unit laundry. One parking space with EV charging. Internet included. Mini split HVAC throughout. Dedicated storage shed on the property, large enough to stand in and use year round.

Owner pays water, trash, gas, and internet. Tenant responsible for electricity and renter's insurance. Pets considered case by case. No risk to apply. The $40 application fee will not be due until your application is reviewed and it is confirmed you meet the basic income requirement of at least three times the monthly rent. Good credit and positive landlord references are expected.
