Los Angeles Home Sale

Retire to your own private retreat, set back away and high above the street, just out of reach from the hustle & bustle, yet still within striking distance of the vibrant heart of Highland Park. EL RETIRO is a fully reimagined and newly expanded Modern California Ranch, resting upon a verdant knoll, and blending beautifully and seamlessly into its natural surroundings. Clad in freshly painted stucco in Antique Bronze, it quite literally disappears into the hillside and is almost indiscernible from the street. Up a long, curved driveway, and past a small set of concrete steps, a vintage lattice-style farmhouse door welcomes you into a spacious living room, graced with original exposed wooden beams that deliver charm and character. As a true Ranch-style home, the living quarters are situated in different wings of the home, ensuring privacy and peace. On one side of the home, the living room flows into the kitchen and dining nook, which opens out to a back patio through sliding doors. The elegantly designed kitchen has been outfitted with shaker style cabinets in moss green with brushed bronze hardware, linen mist quartz counters, deep stainless steel sink, and brushed nickel industrial inspired faucet. An all new suite of Samsung stainless steel appliances, including French door refrigerator with Beverage Center, gas stove, and dishwasher, completes the ensemble. On the other side, you will find: an expansive Primary Suite with serene vistas and a newly added en-suite full bath; a Guest Room Suite with en-suite 3/4 bath; plus a third bedroom and a separate full guest bath at the end of the hall. There is also a laundry closet, large enough to accommodate full-sized side-by-side W/D, as well as an additional closet providing extra storage space. Upgraded systems, custom kitchen, and all-new bathrooms with terrazzo-style porcelain floors, make everyday living a delight. However, with big mountain & treetop views facing due west, the real showstopper here is the framed cinematic sunset that pours in through the large picture window into the living room every evening. Invite family, friends, and fur babies for Sunset Hour and al fresco dining on the newly constructed front deck, while your four-legged friends can play together in your very own private Dog Run. This peaceful refuge captures that rare and coveted alchemy--an elevated and quiet escape that sits only a couple of blocks away from the hottest new stretch of York Blvd, home of acclaimed and popular: Queen's Raw Bar & Grill, Fondry, Potluck Local, Bagel + Slice, Skaf's on York, and femme favorite, Vinovore. The picturesque and idyllic Occidental College campus is also just down the street. Make this home yours!
