🏡 2-Bed Northeast L.A. Foothills Farm Retreat on 1/4 Acre Overlooking Verdugo Mountains -----------------------------------

🌞 Available for sublet this summer 🌞: a serene, sun-drenched 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath ranch home on a private 1/4-acre lot nestled in the foothills of the Verdugo and San Gabriel Mountains, just above Montrose and La Crescenta.

This 750-sqft, stand-alone ranch house is located in Tujunga, a peaceful, semi-rural enclave about 30 minutes northeast of Downtown Los Angeles, and just 20–25 minutes from Highland Park, Pasadena, and Silver Lake. A perfect escape from the city grind—yet still close enough to dip back in when summoned 🍸.

🏘 Neighborhood 🏘

Tujunga offers a unique blend of semi-rural rustic charm and suburban convenience, with many nearby hiking trails, local stores, and quiet residential streets. Walk or drive to grocery stores, cafés, and parks. Easy access to Angeles National Forest and Deukmejian Wilderness Park. Equestrian trails and horse barns nearby!

You’re tucked just beyond the buzz of L.A.'s hip east side—close enough to stay connected, far enough to find street parking ;).

+ This is a single-family home (no shared walls) on a single level. + There are a few steps to the front porch/entrance but no interior stairs.
+ Please note that unfortunately, the house is not wheelchair accessible.
+ There is no on-site manager, per se, but I (the long-term tenant) will be nearby and am easily reachable.

🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Who We’re Looking For

Ideal for an individual or couple seeking a quiet, grounding retreat—whether to write, record, garden, or simply rest. Clean, respectful guests only. Animal lovers welcome. Seeking someone who appreciates a home with farmstead charm and a touch of wilderness. NOT a party house.

*** 🐔 Chicken Chatter 🐔

My backyard flock of heritage chickens live in the fenced off rear yard. I will be onsite a few times a week to collect eggs and top off feed/water etc. There is no expectation for you to tend to them at all, but if you're into fresh eggs you can absolutely help yourself!
