About This Home
As of November 2024Situated in Montecito Heights, bordering El Sereno - this hidden gem area known as Rose Hill - offers privacy, endless views, walkable green space and a close knit community full of wonderful urban farms and creative professionals. This sweet creative sanctuary sits on a rare two parcel lot that expands from street to street with incredible views of the hills. The owners have lovingly restored this one of a kind 100 year old house to modern standards with investments in its infrastructure so you can put your money into adding an ADU, garden of your dreams or a pool on the other half of the property. The home itself is hidden behind a charming electric entry gate, and features an enormous front yard with hardscaping that allows for 3 cars to park within the gate. Before you even walk in the door, you are greeted by an enchanting porch swing, hinting of the peaceful life you could have here as you watch the sunset. Inside, the double sided living room, allows for two purposes - TV on one side, piano on the other, perhaps - is flooded with light. The primary bedroom suite features an updated bathroom and the remodeled kitchen is inviting and open, with built-in cabinetry and fantastic views from your dining table. Upstairs, a large finished attic room, with a full bathroom, is suitable for a primary bedroom suite or guest area, or any other number of uses. There is a finished basement below the house with expansive storage space and laundry room that would make for the perfect pottery or painting studio. Wrap around decks outside with electric awnings for shade in the afternoon sun, afford expansive views. Close to endless amenities, shops and restaurants in Highland Park, Eagle Rock and Downtown/Arts District, and a stones throw to Ernest Debs Park and its endless hiking trails. A sweet house, in a magical and developing inspired enclave with plenty of space to grow.
