About This Home

As of March 2025

"Truly a gem. Nestled in the Monterey Hills of El Sereno, with peekaboo views of Downtown LA, this home features an open floor plan, built-in custom cabinetry and serene outdoor space. This cozy 2 bed, 1 bath (currently 2nd bedroom is designed as a home office) features built in cabinetry throughout- including a queen-sized bed and living room couch as well as tons of clever storage. Hardwood floors, stainless steel kitchen appliances, fresh exterior and interior paint. The attention to detail in this home is thoughtful and geared towards the creative design buff.This custom home was fully remodeled by a successful LA based husband and wife furniture/textile design duo. The space was created for comfort, convenience, and aesthetics. In true Southern California fashion, and appreciation of nature, they incorporated outdoor living with two decks- a 500 SF Meranti custom deck built off the main entrance and a smaller deck off the bedroom. Large windows with nature views, cozy sunken bedroom for a peaceful night's sleep and an open kitchen/living area perfect for cooking and relaxing. William Morris wallpaper bookends the home, with a Toile bathroom featuring a custom black tile Roman soaking tub/shower. The privacy and charm of this small, hidden hillside neighborhood allows for a true nature getaway, all while offering quick access to South Pasadena, Highland Park, Old Town Pasadena, Eagle Rock, Alhambra and Downtown."
