Your home in El Sereno, a charming 1956 mid-century with Mediterranean flair, treehouse vibes, a secret garden backyard, and a detached bonus space. Vaulted ceilings soar above the open living space, anchored by a statement built-in bookshelf and opening to an expansive upper deck. The kitchen is a cook's dream with abundant counter space, stainless appliances, and a butcher block island. There are two bright bedrooms and a vintage blue-tiled bath; the detached bonus space with kitchenette and bathroom is perfect for guests or a home office. Unwind or dine alfresco in the magical yard, where twinkle lights shine, mature trees abound, and come spring, the jacaranda blossoms above it all, with hummingbirds and hawks as regular visitors. The oversized garage offers room for two cars plus a workshop or gym. Amenities include central AC/heat, updated systems, and laundry. Close to Ascot Hills Park and lil'East Coffee, you're within easy reach of Highland Park, South Pasadena, Alhambra, and DTLA.
