Set high above the street in a peaceful and coveted enclave of Mt. Washington, 850 Rome Drive is a beautifully restored and reworked compound with a clear, well-executed site plan.

850 Rome Drive
Los Angeles, CA 90065

$3,999,000 | 4 Beds | 7 Baths | 3,577 Sq. Ft. | $1,118 Price/Sq.Ft. | 0.36 Acres | Built in 1958 | Mt. Washington Elementary School District

Each structure is distinct, with a layout that supports both connection and separation across the site.

This is a rare configuration in Mt. Washington, where scale, privacy, and flexibility rarely align at this level.

The interiors are consistent and grounded. Douglas fir runs throughout, paired with soapstone, travertine, and hand-finished surfaces that bring texture and durability.

The main house is bright and composed. Large windows and doors frame the surrounding greenery and keep the spaces open to light.

The kitchen is finished in wood and set slightly above grade, with a vantage point that looks out into the canopy.

The kitchen features gorgeous wood cabinetry and top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances.

The main house’s primary bedroom has its own private balcony with jaw-dropping views of the hills.

The primary’s ensuite bath is brilliantly conceived with regal brass gold hardware, cement tiles, and a relaxing soaking tub.

The main house’s second bedroom is a lovely private retreat with its own balcony.

The additional structures each have their own measured attributes including the two-story ADU that boasts wood beamed cathedral ceilings and glass sliders that reveal the Mt. Washington hillside.

The guest house has its own kitchen with stainless steel appliances, travertine counters, and great backyard views.

The guest house also includes a spacious bedroom with views of the San Gabriel Mountains.

The pool house makes for excellent guest quarters or an entertainment room.

The property’s private outdoor areas are organized with intention.

Stone paths and wood steps link the pool and central courtyard to a more private rear yard with a fire pit. Decks extend from multiple structures and open to hillside views. The landscaping is mature and layered, creating privacy while maintaining a sense of openness. Circulation across the property is intuitive, with each zone offering a distinct use without feeling disconnected.

With four structures working in quiet harmony, a pool anchoring one side and a fire pit the other, this rare Mt. Washington compound creates a layered living experience that feels both expansive and intentional. It supports moments of connection and retreat in equal measure, offering a sense of privacy that reads as a world of its own.
