Evoking the spirit of the legendary "land of castles," CASTILLE, built in 1992 by David Hidalgo AIA, is a distinctive Mediterranean take on Postmodernism, found high in the hills of Mount Washington, overlooking a vast expanse of breathtaking land, sky, and horizon. On the exterior, this tower-residence is cloaked in freshly painted stucco in alabaster white and crowned with clay mission tile roof. While on the interior, it is the very embodiment of Postmodern architecture with its simple geometric forms: triangular roof, circular portal windows, squares within a square, and even oculus, in the guise of a dramatic rotunda tray skylight. Truly elevated in every sense of the word, this 3 bed + 3.5 bath split-level home has been graced with natural light, cool ocean breezes, panoramic vistas, and timeless structural details like soaring twin cathedral ceilings, glass blocks, and regal turret. Masterfully restored  a guest room and attached garage on the ground level; and a primary suite and additional guest room on the lower level. On the main floor, find an open living + dining space with large square-framed windows and view terrace that gaze out into an endless sky of blue: a natural stage for the mesmerizing aerials of magnificent red-tailed hawks, swallows, ravens, and many a fine-feathered friend. The impeccable custom Chef's kitchen features marbled quartz counters, micro-cement plaster backsplash, European-style cabinetry  and yet, just down the hill, you'll find Cypress Park faves like Barra Santos, Shin's Pizza, Loquat Coffee, and Golden Poppy Market. The historical Los Angeles River Center & Gardens and Rio de Los Angeles State Park, with easy access to the LA River Bike Path, are also within reach. Make this home yours!
