Perched high above the street in the heart of El Sereno, this home is an experience--a true Zen retreat with breathtaking views and a tranquil ambiance. A canopy of pepper, orange, lemon, and loquat trees envelops the front and side yards, creating a lush, private oasis. Garden beds await your personal touch, while the sprawling outdoor space offers endless possibilities, from vibrant gardens to a treehouse or your own peaceful sanctuary. Start your mornings at the picnic table, coffee in hand, as you watch the birds at play. Inside, this charming home features three bedrooms and 1.5 baths, including a converted attic space, and a beautifully renovated kitchen. A fully renovated guest unit above the garage provides the perfect space for visitors or home office. Thoughtful upgrades, including a high-efficiency HVAC system and thermal-repellant paint on both the main house and guest unit, ensure year-round comfort and energy efficiency. Come over and experience it for yourself- grab fresh honey from local favorite 'Victor's Honey' enjoy one-of-a-kind shrimp tacos from Mariscos, and go for a scenic hike at Elephant Hill Open Space!
