Property Description
Built in 2009 and lovingly maintained by its original owner, this hillside Contemporary home is being offered for the very first time — a rare opportunity to own a well-loved, move-in ready property with flexibility, style, and income potential.
Perched above the street in the hills of El Sereno, the home offers a unique sense of privacy along with city light and treetop views from its upper levels — perfect for enjoying golden hour sunsets or twinkling night skies.
The bright second floor features an open-concept living and dining area, an updated powder room, and a modern kitchen with quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, dark wood cabinetry, and designer backsplash.
With 5 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, the layout suits a variety of living styles. The spacious primary suite includes a walk-in flex area ready to be customized as a dressing room, office, or reading nook, and a beautifully tiled en suite bath. Bedrooms 2–4 offer new luxury vinyl plank flooring, plantation shutters, and recessed lighting, with a sleek hallway bathroom lit by a central skylight.
The fifth bedroom features its own private entrance, kitchenette, and full bath — ideal as a rental unit, guest suite, or multigenerational living space. The converted garage adds two additional rooms, perfect for home offices or creative use. A dedicated laundry room and a covered side patio offer added utility for outdoor cooking, storage, or workspace.
Located on a quiet residential street with plenty of street parking, the property is minutes from Highland Park, South Pasadena, and DTLA, with easy access to freeways, shopping, and local dining. Enjoy nearby Ascot Hills Park, Elephant Hill hiking trails, and El Sereno Recreation Center, making it easy to stay connected to nature and community. With sidewalks, street lights, and ongoing city bike/pedestrian improvements, this home blends modern design with true lifestyle convenience.
Some interior photos have been virtually staged to help you envision the home's full potential. The layout and finishes remain true to the existing structure.
This is your opportunity to reimagine a hillside sanctuary — a canvas ready for your personal touch.
