Set against a backdrop of iconic California palms and situated on a generous 7,125 sqft lot, this newly renovated El Sereno residence blends thoughtful design, modern comfort, and future potential into a home that's as functional as it is beautiful. From the moment you step through the gate, the brand-new horizontal metal fencing, fresh landscaping, and welcoming front porch create an immediate sense of arrival. Natural light pours through oversized windows, illuminating wide-plank flooring, designer finishes, and an open-concept layout designed for the way people live today. At the heart of the home, a stunning waterfall island serves as both a design statement and gathering place, accented by pendant lighting that brings warmth and character to the space. Quartz countertops, custom oak-toned cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and an open flow between the kitchen, dining, and living areas make everyday living and entertaining effortless. Offering 3 beds and 2 fully renovated baths, every space has been thoughtfully updated. Large sliding glass doors create a seamless connection to the backyard, filling the home with natural light and extending the living space outdoors. A finished bonus attic of appx. 700sqft+ adds incredible flexibility for a home office, media room, or private retreat. The expansive backyard offers room to entertain, garden, or simply enjoy Southern California living. Mature fruit trees, fresh landscaping, and the large lot & real access create exceptional future potential. Zoned LARD3, the property potentially allow a duplex plus two ADUs under current CA guidelines (buyer to verify). The long driveway provides abundant off-street parking and leads to an oversized detached garage equipped with a 220V EV charging outlet. Major upgrades include a new roof, windows, tankless water heater, HVAC system, updated electrical & plumbing, designer bathrooms, and a completely redesigned kitchen. Conveniently located near South Pasadena, Pasadena, Cal State LA, Highland Park, and local favorites including Evil Cooks, Lil East Coffee, Secret Pizza, Don To's, El Sereno Green Grocer, and the vibrant Figueroa corridor. Beautifully reimagined top to bottom, this is more than a renovationit's a home designed for the way people live today. With designer finishes, flexible living spaces, ADU potential, and a large lot in one of NELA's most desirable neighborhoods, homes like this rarely come to market.
