About this home
Tucked behind a rooftop-only street view for total privacy, this 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom El Sereno home offers 2,098 sq ft of thoughtfully updated living space on an expansive 10,622 sq ft lot spanning two separate parcels (APN 5309-004-030, 4,956 sq ft, and APN 5309-004-031, 5,666 sq ft). Walk down a few private steps from the street to discover a courtyard made for entertaining, then step inside to find pride of ownership in every room. Upgrade throughout include new windows and sliding doors, updated plumbing, recessed lighting throughout, and refinished kitchen cabinetry, giving the home a move-in-ready feel while leaving room to make it your own. A long driveway with two dedicated parking spots adds everyday convenience. Outside, the sprawling lot is dotted with fruit trees and offers sweeping views of Los Angeles, plus serious potential to expand, build an ADU, or simply enjoy the extra space and greenery. With two separate parcels included in the sale, there's flexibility for future development or investment that's hard to find at this price point. Location is everything here: El Sereno sits at the crossroads of it all, just a few miles from South Pasadena, Alhambra, Highland Park, and Downtown LA. Costco is right down the street, Keck Hospital of USC is nearby, and commuting to the rest of the city couldn't be easier. Privacy, views, upgrades, and room to grow — this El Sereno gem checks every box.
El Sereno, located between Alhambra and Boyle Heights, is a hillside and residential Los Angeles neighborhood with winding streets and wide valley views. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Huntington Drive and Eastern Avenue corridor, where taquerias, panaderías, and small storefronts line the sidewalks under steady local foot traffic. Craftsman bungalows and mid-century homes sit on sloped lots, with stair streets and pocket gardens shaping the daily rhythm. Ascot Hills Park frames the ridgeline with dirt trails and open sky. El Sereno Recreation Center and the El Sereno Branch Library anchor civic life. The Metro L Line at Indiana Station links the area to Downtown without changing its low-key pace.

Fabulous find in El Sereno--(also known as South South Pasadena--LOL)! Live in the county just minutes from the city. This house was completely remodeled and updated in 2006--double pane windows, updated kitchen, new plumbing, recessed lighting, CAC...the works. Seller put in new carpet in the bedrooms last year and the multiple decks around the property were replaced this month. Entry is on top level, leading to a spacious L-shaped living room with a 13 foot gorgeous wood beam ceiling, dominated by a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace (with gas starter); another large room with closet is off to one side and just needs a set of doors to be another bedroom. The kitchen is wide and modern--stove, microwave, fridge and dishwasher--with lots of counter space and plenty of room for a large table. Another bedroom off the kitchen area leads to the deck overlooking hills and trees and laundry. The lower level consists of an extra room, a walk-thru room--perfect for a study--another bedroom and a room which could be a bedrooms, including the master, which is on a slightly lower level-3 steps down-with a deck outside (perfect for adding a nice, big bathroom and walk-in closet!!). The house is surrounded by decks and patios, with open views everywhere. The double lot (2 separate APNs) offers privacy and fantastic views of trees and hills.
