Tucked away in scenic University Hills, this 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath home offers effortless comfort, charm, and flexibility. Thoughtfully designed, lush native landscaping makes the home feel like a private retreat, complete with a mature orange tree. The hillside setting offers a sense of calm separation, while just down the hill, you're still incredibly connected. Out back, the spacious yard opens to beautiful hillside views and newly installed DG, creating the perfect backdrop for weekend gatherings or golden hour evenings. Inside, natural light and fresh paint illuminate the space. The upgraded kitchen serves as the functional heart of the home, while the updated bathrooms bring a clean, modern touch. These thoughtful improvements blend with original character, like a beautifully arched doorway, to create a warm, stylish space. The flexible layout is ideal for a home office, guest room, nursery, or creative space. University Hills, an especially coveted pocket of El Sereno, is known for its hillside views and strong sense of community. With quick access to the 10 and 710 freeways, you're just minutes from Downtown LA, Highland Park, South Pasadena, and Alhambra, making both commuting and exploring a joy. Mornings at Lil East Coffee, local produce at El Sereno Greengrocer, a slice at Charlie's Trio, or a bite at the James Beard-nominated Evil Cooks are only a few moments away. Nearby, Ascot Hills Park and Debs Park offer scenic hikes, open green space, and sweeping views just outside your door. Blending hillside tranquility, thoughtful updates, flexible living, and a central location, Coney Road has it all. Come make it your own.
