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.
