Set into the hills of El Sereno, this character-filled 1953 mid-century home pairs original architectural details with thoughtful updates and an easy California lifestyle. The home has had just two owners since it was built and original details remain throughout, including natural-wood doors and a classic brick fireplace that anchors the light-filled living room. Three bedrooms and two beautifully updated baths - including a main bath with a deep soaking tub - make smart use of the home's footprint. Hillside views add to its sense of place. Outside, the property really opens up. A pergola-covered patio with included BBQ creates an inviting spot for outdoor dining and entertaining, while the gently rolling grassy backyard is dotted with peach, Meyer lemon, lime and apple trees - your own little hillside orchard. A gated driveway provides parking for two to three additional cars beyond the detached two-car garage. Architectural plans for an ADU are included with the sale and offer an exciting opportunity to add additional living space. The home has also benefited from significant recent investment, including new roofs on both the house and garage, solar, newer HVAC and electrical improvements, including 220V power at the garage for EV charging. El Sereno is increasingly drawing attention for its independent businesses, food scene and proximity to some of Northeast LA's favorite destinations. Pick up a bottle at Lil Cans & Bottles, check out the weekly El Sereno Night Market or hit the trails at nearby Ascot Hills. New arrivals along Huntington Drive add to the neighborhood's growing energy, while the shops, restaurants and farmers market of South Pasadena are just minutes away, with Highland Park and DTLA also within easy reach.
