Nestled atop a serene hill on a spacious street-to-street double lot in the highly sought-after City Terrace neighborhood—just minutes from Downtown Los Angeles—this fully gated urban retreat offers unparalleled privacy and tranquility. This meticulously restored 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom home has been completely revitalized from the ground up, featuring a new foundation and thoughtfully upgraded systems including modern plumbing, electrical wiring, a 200-amp electrical panel, and a partial sewer line replacement. Newer windows and newer roof with high-efficiency mini-split system, ensuring both comfort and peace of mind. With a vision to honor its original Spanish charm, this home showcases elegant architectural details such as beautiful archways and custom arched wood windows. Each bathroom is adorned with stunning encaustic cement tiles, while the spacious open-concept living and dining area boasts wide plank oak floors and a stylish kitchen featuring Zia zellige tiles, quartz counters, and top-of-the-line LG stainless steel appliances—creating an ideal setting for both entertaining and relaxation. Enter through French doors to discover a private back patio that doubles as a secret garden, complete with a custom-built bench accented by decorative Spanish tiles—an inviting space for gatherings around the fire pit. Surrounded by olive trees, mature agaves, vibrant sage and lavender, and cacti (all equipped with a drip irrigation system), this outdoor oasis invites you to dine alfresco and savor the essence of Southern California living. Venture to one of the home's decks, each providing ample storage beneath, and take in the breathtaking panoramic views of the Hollywood sign and Griffith Observatory, alongside spectacular sunset vistas. The property is fully fenced and features a new automatic gate, offering rare parking for two cars within this vibrant community. Both bedrooms are generously sized, filled with natural light, and the primary suite features a walk-in closet and a luxurious en suite bath with a dual vanity and an oversized walk-in shower. Conveniently located near Cal State LA, USC Keck, major freeways, and the cultural offerings of DTLA, South Pasadena, and Hollywood, this property truly stands out. Property qualifies for a community lending program through Insignia Mortgage, offering rates as low as 5.8% on a 30-year fixed mortgage with just 10% down for loans up to $1M.
