Property is new construction or fully renovated.
The property is a fully re-imagined bungalow featuring a modern kitchen with stainless steel appliances and stone countertops, updated bathrooms with contemporary finishes, and high-value system upgrades including paid-off solar and a greywater system, indicating a comprehensive renovation within the last 5 years.
The property is exceptionally eco-friendly, featuring paid-off solar panels, a greywater system, and a mature edible garden with various fruit trees, offering significant utility savings and a self-sufficient lifestyle.
The re-imagined interior boasts high pitched ceilings and updated bathrooms, creating a light, airy atmosphere that maximizes the efficient floor plan to feel more spacious than its actual square footage.
Situated in the El Sereno hills, the home offers stunning city light views and multiple curated outdoor spaces, including a large front patio for al fresco dining and a tranquil rear garden.
At only 650 square feet for a two-bedroom residence, the interior footprint is quite small, which may limit appeal for buyers needing ample storage or larger communal living areas.
Originally built in 1924, the property may have underlying age-related maintenance needs typical of century-old hillside bungalows that are not immediately apparent in the recent cosmetic updates.
El Sereno hillside bungalow with sustainable features and views. Nestled in the hills of El Sereno, this re-imagined bungalow is the perfect retreat from the bustling city. When you arrive, you feel the privacy and tranquility of the hills surrounding you. Upon entering the home, you are greeted by a high pitched ceiling that expands the space and makes it feel light and airy. The layout is efficient and well laid out, feeling larger than the actual square footage. Both bathrooms have been updated with newer tile and finishes. From the primary bedroom, there are expansive sliding doors opening to a well curated garden. Outside, there are many pockets to enjoy the California sun, including a large front patio area, perfect for dining al fresco, and a quiet moment in the rear garden overlooking the hills. The home is perfect for an ecocentric lifestyle with paid off solar, a greywater system, edible garden with raised garden beds, Passion Fruit, Orange, Fig, Kumquat and Meyer Lemon - to name a few, as well as carefully chosen, low water use/low maintenance California Native plants. Although you may feel a world away, you are just moments from a coffee shop - lil' East - , a wine shop, lil'Cans & Bottles, the newly opened Hermon's restaurant, great hiking and near Highland Park, Alhambra, South Pasadena and Downtown LA.
