Discover refined California living at this exceptional dual-residence property in El Sereno. Thoughtfully designed for comfort, privacy, and elevated living, this rare estate-like setting features two separate homes situated on a ~7,500 sqft lot, connected by a serene resort-style pool retreat at the heart of the property. The main residence offers 3 bedrooms, 2 beautifully remodeled bathrooms, and approximately 980 sqft of permitted living space, showcasing stylish finishes, updated flooring, and bright, welcoming interiors. Extensive upgrades between 2020–2025 include a fully remodeled kitchen with new cabinets, countertops, island, fixtures, and stainless-steel appliances, along with renovated bathrooms, vanities, and lighting. The home also benefits from an upgraded electrical panel, recessed and decorative lighting, water softener, tankless water heater, and ongoing HVAC servicing. The second home, a thoughtfully finished ~682 sqft studio with a loft, full bath, kitchenette, vaulted ceilings, tankless water heater, and its own electrical panel, was built to code (un-permitted) and offers beautiful elevated views from its position above the main residence. With its private entrance and spacious, flexible layout, it serves perfectly as multigenerational living quarters, sophisticated guest accommodations, or an inspiring creative or work-from-home environment. Between the two dwellings, the stunning pool area acts as a tranquil centerpiece—modernized with a glass wall, updated equipment and heater, new hardscape, and an outdoor shower, creating a true resort-like ambiance. The property continues to impress with landscaped terraces, privacy hedges, a gazebo, fenced and gated grounds, outdoor entertaining areas, and a secure gated driveway. Technology and security have been thoughtfully integrated throughout the property, including a 7-camera exterior security system. Perfectly positioned near Highland Park, South Pasadena, and vibrant local amenities, this property beautifully blends luxury, versatility, and lifestyle—offering an unparalleled compound-style retreat in one of Northeast LA’s most desirable communities.
