About This Home

As of June 2025

Perched atop scenic Elephant Hill, 3970 Barrett Road offers a rare opportunity to own a hillside home with sweeping views and boundless potential. This 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom 1920s probate fixer with no court confirmation required, spans over 2,100 square feet and is priced to invite creativity, customization, and significant value. Sunlight fills the spacious living and dining areas, a flexible layout provides ample space for everyday living and inspired reimagining. Generously sized bedrooms, and substantial square footage offer buyers room to craft their ideal retreat. Outside, the hillside setting ensures privacy, natural beauty, and panoramic views across El Sereno. The expansive lot invites the creation of gardens, patios, or decks--limited only by your imagination. This home is surrounded by nature trails and just minutes from bustling Huntington Drive--home to beloved local spots like Antigua Bread, El Sereno Green Grocer, Charlies Trio and Elephant Hill Cafe. Exciting revitalization plans are underway to enhance pedestrian and bike access, green spaces, and transit connectivity along Huntington Drive, promising a more walkable and community-focused environment. Tucked away in nature yet a quick drive to Highland Park, South Pasadena, and DTLA, if you've been searching for space, views, and a project with serious upside--this rare gem is the one.
