Set high above the street in the sought-after enclave north of York Blvd. in Highland Park, 5711 Stratford Rd. is a home that reflects the very best in NELA living--vibrant urban life at your doorstep and a peaceful hillside retreat to call your own! Past the front door and generous foyer, find yourself in an airy haven where massive windows look out upon rolling green hills and bathe the room in natural light. The kitchen--open to the living room--is the heart of the home and features stainless steel appliances, newly refinished butcher block countertops, plentiful storage space, and rich, warm floors. Cheerful hand-painted murals and stylish wallpaper adorn the bedrooms and add just the right touch of romantic whimsy. The home's unique 3 bed/1.5 bath footprint allows for hard-to-find versatility for something of its size--ideal for those who work from home, host guests, need a serene creative studio, or want everyone to have a corner of their own. The real magic begins when you head through the French doors and into the yard outside: an expansive redwood deck boasts breathtaking panoramic views that sweep across the city beyond. It's where you'll gather with friends for golden-hour dinners as the sun sets behind the hills to the west, watch fireworks bloom across the skyline, or simply sit beneath a canopy of stars and twinkling lights, feeling a world away from the city below. Thoughtful updates--Nest thermostat, central A/C and heat, newer roof and updated sewer line, ample sub-deck storage, herb garden and vegetable boxes, and a detached garage--ensure a life as effortlessly functional as it is beautiful. And while coming home feels like entering a sanctuary from the hustle and bustle of city life, your only blocks away from some of Highland Park's most beloved restaurants, bars, and shops: Amiga Amore, Cafe Jane, Hermosillo, Kumquat, and so many more are right down the way, offering unparalleled urban accessibility. With its effortless charm, convenience, and truly inspiring views, 5711 Stratford is a rare gem--a soulful space that reflects the creative spirit and beauty of Highland Park.
