Property Description

Perched high in the prestigious hillside enclave of Starlight Estates, where homes are tightly held and neighbors often stay for generations. This iconic mid-century modern residence offers a rare blend of architectural significance, privacy, and breathtaking panoramic views stretching across Los Angeles County, Orange County, and all the way to Catalina Island.

Designed for buyers who appreciate timeless architecture over trends, this home immediately captivates with dramatic wall-to-wall glass, clean mid-century lines, and a seamless connection between indoor living and the horizon beyond. From sunrise coffee to golden hour sunsets, natural light pours through the home, transforming every space into a living work of art.

The oversized living room becomes the emotional center of the home, where skyline views become your daily backdrop and evening city lights feel cinematic. Imagine hosting close friends over a glass of wine, watching the sunset melt into the skyline, or preparing dinner while warm golden light fills the interiors through walls of glass.

The updated kitchen with whitewashed cabinetry opens naturally into an inviting family space, while the formal dining room overlooks a lush private courtyard, ideal for intimate dinners, holiday gatherings, or multi-generational family celebrations.

Each of the three spacious bedrooms offers its own unique view, built-in storage, and custom character. The den is being used as the fourth bedroom. The primary suite serves as a private retreat with elevated views of city lights, and surrounding hillsides.

Thoughtfully upgraded for modern living, the home includes new copper plumbing (2021), solar, a newer pool heater, and a newly upgraded pool filtration system, offering the confidence of major system improvements while preserving the integrity of its architectural roots.

Beyond the home itself, residents of Starlight Estates are drawn to a lifestyle centered around peace, safety, nature, and community. Morning walks through quiet hillside streets, nearby hiking trails, neighbors who know each other, and the charm of nearby Uptown Whittier with its boutiques, cafés, dining, and everyday conveniences.

Outside, multiple patios, a private pool, and built-in spa create your own elevated retreat, one of the most captivating sunset vantage points in Whittier.

This is more than a home. It's a statement in design, a sanctuary above the city, and a lifestyle earned.
