About This Home
As of August 2025Perched on an expansive double lot in scenic University Hills, this beautiful mid-century modern home offers sweeping city views, flexible living spaces, and rare outdoor hillside usability in one of El Sereno's most vibrant and desirable enclaves. The thoughtfully upgraded main residence features 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms across an airy, light-filled layout, complete with a new HVAC system, premium appliances and hillside views from nearly every window. Below, the fully permitted JADU at 4830 1/2 has its own address and entrance, offering 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, and a stylish, all-electric kitchen with high-efficiency induction cooking, dishwasher, and premium finishes--ideal for guests, multi-generational living, rental income, or a private home office. Additional upgrades include a bolted and cross-supported foundation, a new electrical panel with added capacity, a JADU-ready for a second meter, and a newer roof. The spacious two-car garage provides an additional 250 square feet of secure parking and storage, while the flat, usable backyard and two oversize decks offer endless potential for entertaining or gardening. Located just minutes from Cal State LA, this hillside gem is also near local favorites like Ascot Hills Park and Ernest E. Debs Regional Park--perfect for hiking, nature walks, and taking in the sunset. With easy access to South Pasadena, Highland Park, Alhambra, DTLA, and major freeways, this home blends modern comfort, income potential, and timeless mid-century appeal in a peaceful, connected neighborhood.
