Set behind private gates at the foothills of El Sereno, this designer California bungalow has been thoughtfully reimagined to balance original charm with modern comfort, with interiors that feel truly magazine worthy. An open front porch welcomes you in, an ideal spot for morning coffee while taking in peaceful neighborhood views. Inside, light filled living and dining spaces flow effortlessly together, highlighted by beautifully refinished original oak floors. The fully updated eat in kitchen features French white oak cabinetry with a seamless connection to the expansive backyard. Outdoors, a private retreat unfolds with a large grassy area, covered patio, mature fruit trees, and dedicated garden boxes, creating an ideal setting for both entertaining and everyday enjoyment. The three bedroom, one bath layout is efficient and comfortable, complemented by major system upgrades including a new roof, new windows, and a new HVAC system. An oversized detached two car garage, along with an additional two car parking pad, offers exceptional flexibility; with approved plans already in place to convert the garage into a two story ADU and add an additional bathroom to the main house. Walking distance to hiking trails and South Pasadena, and just minutes from DTLA, Highland Park, and Alhambra, this home presents a rare opportunity as a stylish starter home or investment property in one of Northeast LA's most connected and rapidly evolving neighborhoods
