    What's special

    REDUCED! SO MANY AMAZING FEATURES - RESIDENCE + PERMITTED ADU + BONUS ROOM + POOL & SPA! Sublime Traditional jewel box with exceptional curb appeal and a warm, soulful vibe in a sought-after Highland Park location, ideally positioned between the Pasadena border and the vibrant energy of York Blvd. A welcoming facade framed by a mature lemon tree and a curated mix of succulents sets the tone for the character and relaxed style found throughout this lovely home. Comfortable interiors are enhanced by custom designer appointments, including limewash paint treatments, dramatic pops of color, whimsical wallcoverings, custom window coverings and shades, multiple built-ins, and updated hardware throughout. Light hardwood floors extend throughout the main level, setting the stage for the primary living areas, beginning with a living room featuring a fireplace and multiple windows bathing the space in natural light. The dining room showcases classic wainscoting and French doors opening to a large terrace overlooking the peaceful rear yard. The kitchen is warm and functional, offering quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a charming breakfast nook with a built-in banquette. Three bedrooms and two baths include a serene primary bedroom with upgraded custom closets and an adjacent spa-like bath with a soaking tub and shower. The guest bedroom makes a distinctive statement with its creative fusion of patterned wallpaper and a striking blue palette, while the third bedroom currently styled as a walk-in closet and dressing room serves as an expansive wardrobe space, while still offering the option to convert back to a bedroom if desired. On the lower level, flexible living areas are thoughtfully arranged. A bonus room currently used as a music room is well suited for a home office, gym, creative studio, or guest retreat. A laundry room is also located on this level. Completing the interior living quarters, a permitted ADU with a separate entrance integrates the trademark elements of a loft-style space, with a concrete floor, open kitchen, and exposed wood beams at the ceiling. A modern tiled bath completes the layout, resulting in an outstanding ancillary space ideal for guests, rental income, or extended living. With the interior spaces fully realized, the home opens outdoors to a private backyard retreat featuring a swimming pool and spa, lounging deck, and a turf play area, all framed by mature landscaping and fencing for complete privacy. A few of the significant upgrades made by the seller within the past two years include a newer roof, HVAC ducting, installation of Nest thermostats, termite fumigation, custom closets & built-ins, and renovation of the bonus music room. Ideally located near neighborhood shops and local cafes synonymous with the relaxed pace that defines life in Highland Park, this thoughtfully designed residence offers true character, comfort, and room to evolve. A singular offering distinguished not by any one element, but by how effortlessly it all comes together. Welcome home!
