About This Home
As of June 2025An artistic vision brought to life with warm organic woods, soft colors and large sun-lit windows that transform this 1924 bungalow into a tranquil sanctuary. With room to expand, approved plans for a 653 sf ADU allow for greater potential. Nestled in the heart of El Sereno, an eclectic and burgeoning neighborhood, this home offers more than meets the eye. As you approach the front door, the charming porch welcomes friends and neighbors to sit for quiet conversations. Inside, restored original wood floors lead you through open spaces in the living room and dining area. An impressive chef's kitchen invites guests to linger for a meal or to step outdoors to dine al fresco. Fully equipped with Samsung stainless steel appliances, the kitchen highlights bespoke cabinetry, quartz countertops, open shelving and a custom stove hood. Integrated into the space, the laundry area has a side-by-side washer and dryer, a folding station and upper cabinets for storage. Through the hallway, find a custom linen closet, two bedrooms and a beautifully remodeled bath with neutral zellige tiles and green hexagon floors. Outside, nicely landscaped gardens offer multiple areas for festive gatherings. A long spacious driveway leads to the full-fenced backyard and a spacious 10' x 12' shed that offers flexibility for storage or a workspace. Featuring all new systems including HVAC, new roof, 200-amp panel, new plumbing, new windows, EV charger, and more.
