Tucked away in the peaceful hills of El Sereno, just minutes to Highland Park and South Pasadena, this vibrant, beautifully designed home feels like a sanctuary in the city. Built in 2020 with no expense spared, the spacious 4 bedroom / 3.5 bath property offers incredible privacy, stunning city and mountain views, and a floor plan that functions brilliantly for easy living and entertaining. Step inside to find light-filled spaces, soaring ceilings, and an abundance of large windows and sliding glass doors that lead to multiple outdoor spaces. The main level's open-concept kitchen, dining room, step-down living room and two terraces all look out to verdant hillsides, snow-capped mountains, and unobstructed city views. The sprawling main terrace offers an outdoor lounge and dining area, the perfect setting to host weekend brunches and dinner parties, do morning yoga, and enjoy spectacular sunrises and sunsets, all while looking out to expansive views. The impressive kitchen and adjoining dining room are equally inspiring spaces, with white oak floating shelves, and huge windows that perfectly frame mature trees and hedges. An entertainer's dream, the kitchen provides plenty of space for friends and family to gather, and features a lovely breakfast bar, ample countertop and cabinet space, and stainless steel appliances. Completing the home's main level are a serene powder room, and a finished 2-car garage with direct access that currently functions as a fitness/wellness room with a sauna, custom built-in storage cabinets, waterproof flooring, and a row of windows that provide Southern light. Downstairs are four well-appointed bedrooms, including a sumptuous primary bedroom with a huge walk-in closet, access to a wrap-around terrace, and a spa-like en-suite bathroom with a double vanity, soaking tub, and a shower with views. The three additional bedrooms are all generously sized, two of which feature sliding glass doors that open to the most magical covered patio and terrace, surrounded by an array of agaves, jade, and climbing foliage. Two impeccably designed guest bathrooms and a laundry closet conveniently located in the hallway outside the bedrooms complete this lower floor. The gently sloped yard, which is easily accessed by a beautiful staircase on one side of the home, offers the possibility for expansion, room for a pool, or the edible garden of your dreams. The property's lush landscaping includes lovely native plantings, a black walnut tree, African sumac trees, and a Meyer lemon tree. This incredibly special home offers a total sense of tranquility, as well as the convenience of being in close proximity to the best of Northeast LA's shops, restaurants, and markets, hiking at nearby Elephant Hill (which can be accessed from Jennings Drive, just up the street from the home), and Debs Park, and easy access to major freeways and Downtown LA. This is LA living at its best.
