Sun-drenched California craftsman home with a Spanish-tiled pool on a coveted cul-de-sac street in the hills of Highland Park. An arch of bougainvillea frames the front steps to a covered brick front porch; the perfect spot for taking in neighborhood views and enjoying golden-hour evenings. The front garden is brimming with lush native plantings like lavender, lantana, and trumpet vines that spill over the front fence. Inside, the living room is bright and welcoming, with large picture windows that draw in verdant surroundings from every angle. Original Craftsman details have been thoughtfully maintained throughout with built-in bookshelves and a decorative fireplace that anchors the space with warmth and character. The dining room connects the living and kitchen with ease and features the original built-in hutch that frames a set of windows overlooking the pool. The generous chef's kitchen is both functional and inviting, with new butcher block countertops, updated appliances, and a breakfast nook that looks out to sweeping treetop views. The primary bedroom feels serene and tucked away with a spacious walk-in closet and French doors that open to a private patio. The full bath has been beautifully reimagined with soft-colored concrete walls and a spa-like soaking tub. A second light-filled bedroom with oversized closet completes the main residence. A detached garage has been thoughtfully updated with a full facade of French accordion doors and split AC unit that keeps the space temperate and cozy year-round. The flexible bonus space is ideal as a studio, office, or creative retreat. Step out to the backyard and a mature tree shades an expansive brick patio with hillside views on all sides. A glistening pool and spa create an idyllic setting for long summer afternoons, evening swims, and effortless entertaining. A covered, EV-ready carport and a long driveway offer ample parking. Ideally located just moments away from the vibrant shops and restaurants of York Boulevard and Figueroa, including Sogo, Modu, Villa's Tacos, and Arroyo Park with easy access to Amara Kitchen and Garvanza playground. A serene, light-filled retreat with a pool; California living at its finest.
