3 BR, 2 BA in El Sereno

1940s traditional in University Hills with mountain and skyline views. Perched above the street, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath home has an impactful presence with its Streamline Moderne elements of strong horizontal lines and a curved overhang. Although the home is on a hillside, there's ample flat and usable areas to enjoy the Southern California sun. Approaching the home, you are greeted by a front yard with drought tolerant plants screening you from the street, native grasses and flowering mallow plants. The connection to the outdoors continues inside with a direct sight line to the backyard and numerous windows flooding the rooms with light and captivating skyline views. The kitchen has been thoughtfully redesigned and features new cabinetry, appliances and stainless steel countertops. The adjacent dining area is cozy with a wood banquette seating area. At the opposite end of the home are the bedrooms and two updated bathrooms with a warm neutral palette and timeless materials like marble and travertine. Flowing easily from the kitchen, is an oversized glass door that leads to a private back patio space. To the side of the house is a detached studio - perfect for a home office or creative pursuits. There's additional outdoor space for dining or lounging that overlooks the majestic San Gabriel mountains. When not enjoying your peaceful hillside home, you are only moments from local favorites like lil'East Coffee, Tirzahs Mexi-Terranean, Evil Cooks, Artemisia Nursery, Los Dorados LA, Correas Mariscos & Cocina, Holy Grounds Coffee + Tea or a short drive to other hip east side neighborhoods. If you are looking for a well designed hillside house with great outdoor space and views, this is your spot!
