About this home
Tucked into the sought-after University Hills neighborhood of El Sereno, this inviting single-level residence blends timeless character, modern comfort, and exceptional versatility in one beautifully livable home. From the moment you enter, refinished original wood floors and a sun-filled picture window create a warm, graceful first impression. The living room offers an effortless sense of comfort and connection, flowing naturally into the dining area, where sliding glass doors open to a covered patio and invite the best of Southern California indoor-outdoor living. The bright kitchen is designed with both charm and function in mind, featuring crisp white cabinetry, classic white tile, a newer white stove, abundant storage, and a cozy breakfast bar for two. Just beyond, the laundry room and breakfast nook provide everyday convenience with direct access to the backyard. A tiled hallway leads to a beautifully refreshed bathroom appointed with white tile floors, a tiled walk-in shower with custom glass doors, a separate bathtub, and a new vanity. The bedrooms offer comfort, flexibility, and privacy, including an oversized bedroom with new laminate flooring and a serene primary suite with new laminate floors, a generous closet, two light-filled windows, and an en-suite bath featuring new white tile, a new vanity, and a tiled walk-in shower with a custom glass enclosure. The third bedroom is ideal as a child’s room, guest retreat, or inspiring home office. Downstairs, the finished basement expands the possibilities even further, offering a comfortable, climate-controlled space for a guest suite, creative studio, family room, game room, office, or private retreat. Outside, the covered patio and low-maintenance backyard set the stage for relaxed evenings, weekend gatherings, and effortless entertaining. Adding even more flexibility, the two-car garage is currently being used as an unpermitted ADU studio complete with a kitchen area, newly remodeled bathroom, large closet, and generous space for living, dining, sleeping, and media needs. With two large driveway parking spaces, street parking available on Barnett Road, and a prime location near Cal State LA, major freeways, schools, shopping, DTLA, Alhambra, Pasadena, Dodger Stadium, and more, this rare single-story home offers a compelling blend of comfort, convenience, and opportunity in one of Northeast Los Angeles’ most connected neighborhoods.
University Hills, located between Cal State LA and the Alhambra border, is a hillside and residential Los Angeles neighborhood with mid-century streetscapes and canyon-edge views. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Cal State LA campus core near Paseo Rancho Castilla and the Luckman Fine Arts Complex, where lecture halls, galleries, and performance spaces set a collegiate tempo. Curving roads and postwar homes define the built landscape, with pockets of apartments closer to campus. Ernest E. Debs Regional Park adds trailheads, picnic lawns, and a lake-like pond feel just downhill. The I-10 corridor frames the edge, while local streets stay quiet and green.
