Tucked away on a quiet street above York Boulevard, this inviting single-level home feels wonderfully removed while remaining moments from the best of Highland Park. Set back behind a mature cactus garden, the three-bedroom, two-bathroom residence opens with a direct sightline to the outdoors and an easy, light-filled floor plan. The kitchen and dining area flow into a bright living room with high ceilings and generous natural light. Two bedrooms share a hallway bath, while the primary suite features vaulted ceilings and is privately situated with a walk-in closet and en-suite bathroom. Outside, generous patio areas create multiple spaces for dining, entertaining and relaxing, while a separate side yard features raised vegetable beds and established citrus and avocado trees. Peaceful and private, yet just minutes from the shops, restaurants and cafes of York Boulevard, this is an easy retreat in the foothills between Highland Park and Eagle Rock.

Elegance and whimsey all rolled into one North of York find. All the current "must haves" are here--volume ceilings to an expansive great room & open and airy flow to the party sized deck & grassy play area. You'll start your day in the private bedroom wing where Asian inspired tiles & touches highlight brand new baths & the master features vaulted ceiling & ample walk-in. Two additional bedrooms open to the yard. Then it's on to wonderful colors & textures in the light filled kitchen, maybe have that morning coffee under the bearing avocado in the yard or time to tinker in the over sized garage. Ample off street parking lets you park a pampered car there or turn it in to a spacious studio. Close to all but still has that country lane feeling of old Highland Park.

Opportunity knocks with this 3 Bed 2 Bath Highland Park home on the border of Eagle Rock and S. Pasadena. If you can see through the carpet stains and stale paint you'll find a great investment opportunity. There's some deferred maintenance but the bones are in great shape. There's a newer roof, central AC and heat, an awesome layout. It's located in the quietest part of Highland Park. Expect to paint inside and out, upgrade the kitchen and bathrooms, install new floors (be awesome and go with real wood!), landscaping, new electric throughout and finish off the garage. Bring your contractor and imagination to bring back this 1960's beauty.
