El Sereno – 2 bedroom, 2 bath – Asking $950,000
Nestled in the hills of El Sereno’s Baird Park pocket, 4767 Hillsdale Drive feels like a private hillside escape, while still offering convenient access to the city. Set behind a gate and surrounded by mature pines and oaks, the setting offers a rare sense of quiet and privacy that’s hard to find in Los Angeles. Just minutes away are expansive green spaces like Ascot Hills and Debs Park—perfect for hiking, weekend picnics, or catching views of the downtown skyline and San Gabriel Mountains.
Originally built in the 1920s, the home embraces its rustic character with warm wood details, exposed beams, and a layout that takes full advantage of the natural surroundings. Large windows and sliding doors connect the interior to multiple outdoor spaces, including a deck perched in the treetops. There’s a timeless charm here that’s increasingly hard to come by—from the board-and-batten siding to the cozy corners throughout the house, everything feels intentionally crafted to blend with the landscape.
Bonus features include a detached studio space and a deep soaking tub positioned with tranquil tree views—perfect for anyone looking to unwind, recharge, and enjoy the slower pace of this tucked-away hillside neighborhood.
