4020 Clayton Avenue
Property Overview
Tucked into the treetops of Franklin Hills, this reimagined contemporary retreat offers sweeping views of Griffith Park, the Observatory, and the Los Angeles skyline. Rebuilt and expanded in 2025, the home pairs warm modern design with effortless indoor-outdoor living. Centrally located yet remarkably peaceful, it sits on a wide street within a quiet hillside enclave between Los Feliz and Silver Lake, with ample on-site parking. Natural light fills the open living spaces, where a custom kitchen, skylights, wide-plank oak floors, and curated finishes create a relaxed yet elevated atmosphere. Two generous secondary bedrooms feature wood-beamed ceilings and oversized closets, while the vaulted primary suite offers a spa-inspired bath, walk-in closet, and French doors opening to a private deck. Multiple outdoor spaces unfold across the property, including a yard, garden, and decks tucked into the trees for alfresco dining, entertaining, and taking in the hillside views. Mature grapefruit and olive trees, native plantings, wildflowers, and lavender give the grounds a distinctly California feel. A separate-entry lower-level bonus space offers inspiring possibilities for art, design, a home office, gym, or creative retreat. The comprehensive 2025 transformation includes updated electrical, plumbing, foundation, HVAC, roof, windows, and 220V wiring ready for an EV charger. Private, contemporary, and connected to its natural surroundings, this home offers a fresh take on Franklin Hills living with Griffith Park views, flexible creative space, exceptional outdoor living, and the rare convenience of generous parking.
