Property Description
Originally renovated by the star of HGTV's Flip or Flop, this thoughtfully updated El Sereno home blends modern upgrades with comfort and functionality, offering the kind of light-filled space and outdoor living convenience that's hard to find at this price point. This 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom home includes a laundry/utility area that can easily double as a flexible workspace. Outside is where the property truly shines: a fully fenced front and back yard with grassy outdoor space, creating a rare setup for relaxing, entertaining, and everyday living, especially for pet owners. Whether for morning coffee on the patio, weekend BBQs, or room for dogs to roam, the outdoor space feels expansive and usable. To make it even more turnkey, the patio furniture, BBQ, and outdoor shed will remain for tenant use, creating an effortless indoor-outdoor lifestyle. Generous windows fill the home with natural light throughout the day, while wood laminate flooring and central HVAC create a comfortable, move-in-ready feel year-round. The updated kitchen features quartz countertops and stainless steel appliances. Both bedrooms offer ample closet space, and the home includes an easily accessible cellar for additional storage plus plentiful street parking. Ideally positioned for easy access across LA, you're approximately 15 minutes to DTLA, Highland Park, and South Pasadena, with convenient access to the San Gabriel Valley and nearby freeways that make commuting surprisingly easy. Close to neighborhood favorites like La Estrella Tacos and local gems in nearby Highland Park, you get the balance of a neighborhood feel with city convenience. This lease offers style, outdoor space, and an easy LA lifestyle all in one thoughtfully renovated package.
