About This Home

As of November 2023

University Hills Redefined. Just when you think you've seen everything, this gem of a home surprises at every turn. The main 2 bedroom, 2 bath 779 sq/ft house is a meditation in color and whimsy where no detail has been spared. Bathed in light with mountain views, the designer renovated baths and kitchen feature custom cabinets the color of the sun and sea, handcrafted tiles from Fireclay & Mission Tile West, wallpaper by Spoonflower and top-of-the-line appliances from Thermador, Fisher & Paykell and the coveted Monogram series from GE. As you venture into the backyard and the over 6,000 s/f view-filled lot, you will find multiple patios, mature fruit trees, a vegetable garden, a natural gas firepit, outdoor movie screen, a shed with surrounding deck that could easily double as an office, along with an additional studio for work, yoga, art or the occasional guest. If that isn't enough, there is also a 413 sq/ft lower-level bonus space with a separate entrance that has been given the same loving designer attention as the rest of the home. Endless possibilities abound, especially considering that all major systems are new, including, but not limited to, roof (with fully owned solar), sewer line, tankless hot water heater, HVAC, plumbing and electrical panel/wiring. Located moments from Cal State LA and a bevy of Jonathan Gold's favorite LA eateries while also near South Pasadena, Highland Park, Downtown LA and Alhambra. University Hills lives up to its reputation as LA's next big thing.
