Nestled in a tranquil hillside enclave of Monterey Hills, this expansive residence offers a rare blend of scale, privacy, and modern-era construction with a large flat lot, located in one of Northeast Los Angeles’ most quietly coveted neighborhoods.
Built in 2005 and spanning 3,908 square feet, this five-bedroom, four-bathroom home delivers exceptional volume and functionality paired with the warmth of a true long-term residence. High ceilings and an open, flowing layout create an immediate sense of space, with natural light moving effortlessly through generous living and dining areas designed for both everyday living and elevated entertaining.
At the heart of the home, the kitchen anchors the main level with beautiful countertops, ample cabinetry, and a walk-in pantry, offering both practicality and presence for gatherings large and small. The primary suite serves as a private retreat, complete with a walk-in closet and balcony for quiet mornings and evening unwinds above the city. Each bedroom is thoughtfully designed as its own private suite, plus one Jack & Jill. Upstairs, a spacious bonus family room adds flexibility as a media lounge, game room, or secondary living space. One bedroom downstairs allows for multigenerational living.
Outdoors, the home truly distinguishes itself with a large, flat backyard—a rare and highly desirable feature in hillside neighborhoods—ideal for entertaining, play, gardening, or future enhancements.
Set on a generously sized LAR1-zoned lot, the property offers potential for an ADU or added flex space. A two-car garage and ample driveway parking add everyday convenience.
Ideally located near parks, hiking trails, and nature preserves, yet minutes from Downtown LA, South Pasadena, and Highland Park, this home balances serene residential living with urban accessibility. Rare in scale and enhanced by a truly usable yard, this Monterey Hills residence stands apart as a compelling opportunity.
