About This Home

As of September 2024

Set back from the street in one of the most desirable parts of El Sereno, 4046 Guardia is a garden gem - an updated, modern sanctuary in the heart of the city! Past the pathway winding through the drought-tolerant front yard, find yourself in a cheery, open living space where gleaming floors are bathed in natural light and windows look out on views of the nearby hills. Enjoy meal prep in a kitchen featuring newer stainless steel appliances, newer countertops, a massive island, and beautiful royal blue Heath ceramic tilework. The home's three bedrooms are all sizable with ample closet space and share a large dedicated laundry room with additional storage. Two full bathrooms have been updated with newer vanities, tile, and sleek Hansgrohe fixtures. The primary suite leads out to a professionally landscaped garden paradise, perfect for enjoying the very best of LA indoor/outdoor living. Sip morning coffee under the climbing vines of the patio pergola, or while away the hours entertaining friends surrounded by lush native CA greenery and twinkling string lights. Once the sun sets, cozy up by the fire and bask in the calm of your refuge away from the city. The property has been extensively renovated from top to bottom with modern living in mind, and features central A/C and heat with Nest thermostat, copper plumbing, newer electrical with updated panel, solar panels, newer double-paned windows, seismically retrofitted foundation, and a new roof in 2022. The gated driveway has enough space for 2+ cars, while the back yard shed and under-patio area allow for plenty of additional storage space. As a bonus, the property qualifies for Community Lending Program discounts, keeping more money in your pocket. Situated in prime El Sereno north of Huntington Blvd., you're moments away from South Pasadena and all of the fun shops, bars and restaurants in Highland Park/NELA - a dreamy retreat convenient to the best of the Eastside!
