About This Home
As of March 2025If you're seeking a turnkey creative retreat that takes full advantage of its tree-top locale, look no further. Nestled into the hills of El Sereno just north of Huntington Dr, this Mid-Century gem has been an inspiring and well-loved abode for each of its owners. Over the years, it's continued to evolve into an evermore efficient, charming, and well-tailored home that boasts a true indoor-outdoor experience. Natural light and custom built-ins throughout make for a serene flow and an intuitive way to organize a more peaceful life. Step down into the primary bedroom with its original oak floors, and roll out onto the deck for yoga in the morning or a nightcap before bed. The second bedroom is currently utilized as a home office, with its own custom built-ins and picturesque view. The bathroom has been fully remodeled, with Moroccan Zellige tile, a new soaking tub, and new hardware and vanity. When you're in the mood to entertain, the primary deck can accommodate up to 30 guests, who can all enjoy the sweeping views down into the Sierra Vista Valley. Mature walnut and palm trees offer a canopy of shade as your guests spread out to one of the many enchanting outdoor moments around the property. 4441 Richard Dr has seen recent upgrades to plumbing, electrical, heating & cooling, and updates to the kitchen, bedroom, flooring, and more. What feels like a remote hillside hideaway is just a few minutes away from all of your favorite haunts in South Pasadena, Highland Park, and DTLA.
