About this property
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.
